NEOBHC Mpox Prevention Outreach Program

The Northeast Ohio Black Health Coalition (NEOBHC) proposes a project to help protect unsuspecting sexual partners from potential infection due to mpox or other STDs. We will create QR code stickers for condom packages. The QR code will link to monkeypox information from MedlinePlus and/or the CDC in addition to information regarding public health treatment locations for those suspecting infection. Our Community Engagement Director will have the bagged condoms available at the NEOBHC table to be distributed for focused disease prevention and educational awareness at community events throughout the 23 counties (Ashland, Ashtabula, Carroll, Columbiana, Coshocton, Cuyahoga, Erie, Geauga, Harrison, Holmes, Huron, Jefferson, Lake, Lorain, Mahoning, Medina, Portage, Richland, Stark, Summit, Trumbull, Tuscarawas, Wayne) we serve throughout Northeast Ohio.
