Abstract Background To investigate the current use status of official WeChat accounts for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in public health education and relevant factors that can impact the effectiveness of message delivery. Methods A retrospective survey was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of official WeChat accounts. About 531 official WeChat accounts and 50 939 articles were analyzed using a cluster sampling survey design. The Kruskal–Wallis test and multivariate logistic regression were used to explore factors associated with the usefulness of the number of views and “Likes” of the articles. Results The study identified a total of 531 public WeChat accounts, including 19 province-level accounts, 179 municipal-level accounts and 333 county-level accounts. In the univariable analysis, the administrative level of the account, article order, time segment, article originality and thematic category were associated with the number of views and “Likes.” Province-level accounts, first articles, the 5:00–6:00 time segment, original articles and theme 3 (emergencies) had higher numbers of views and “Likes” than the others (P < 0.05). Conclusions Promoting health education through Official WeChat account is an effective, sustainable and feasible strategy. Potential indicators of the impact of public health education suggest that administrators should effectively use official WeChat accounts for public health education.

The flipped classroom approach, used for many years in the humanities and the basic sciences, is becoming increasingly popular in public health education. This article describes the implementation and evaluation of a master’s-level Environmental and Occupational Health course, a required course in a Master of Public Health program at a mid-sized Canadian university. The course was designed using a flipped classroom approach and delivered online using a learning management system and interactive web-conferencing technology. Using a pre- and postsurvey design, we assessed improvements in student’s self-reported knowledge and skills, student learning experiences in the course, and the impact of specific course components on critical thinking and student engagement. Our results suggest that this approach enabled the achievement of course learning outcomes and provided positive learning experiences overall. Additionally, we find that the course promoted critical thinking and enabled student engagement in the context of online education for this small group of graduate-level public health students. We conclude by discussing key lessons learned for providing optimal learning experiences and outcomes in online graduate-level public health education.
