Health
The emphasis of Fors Marsh Group's (FMG) work has always centered on the idea of being better. One key component of betterment is health. Whether public or individual health, our team of health and risk communication specialists have designed and executed rigorous research to develop communication and messaging strategies related to diabetes, tobacco, obesity, nutrition, chronic disease, over-the-counter drugs, pain medication, cancer, and illegal substance abuse. Our expertise in risk perception, emotion, and message development has shaped many different evidence-based behavior change campaigns.
FMG uses an understanding of the commercial, start-up and public health landscape and our detailed experience in the federal public policy sector to provide resources and expertise to shape the health and risk issues that federal, commercial, and non-profit organizations face on a daily basis.
