Strengthening Policy Engagement, Assessment, and Knowledge with Stakeholders, or SPEAKS, sessions offer professionals working in the STI sector an opportunity to sharpen their policy skills by accessing virtual workshops and webinars that center policy-related themes.
NCSD’s State Policy team will provide key insight into sexual health policy trends across state legislatures from 2025. This webinar will include an overview of how NCSD tracks state policies and how NCSD assesses a policy’s capacity to reduce, sustain, or worsen health inequities. It will also include an analysis of several policy trends, including examples from state bills, with time for the audience to ask questions. The goal of this webinar is for participants to better understand the scope and impact of state policymaker decisions that directly and indirectly impact STIs, HIV, and other sexual health topics.
