In 2015, the City of Worcester's Community Health Assessment identified substance abuse, mental health issues, and access to care as the greatest challenges to public health. In 2018, WPI students created the Stigma Free Worcester app. We designed a marketing plan to increase public awareness of the app. This plan, which targets vulnerable populations, local industry workers, first responders and students, will be implemented by the Worcester Department of Health and Human Services, beginning in the spring of 2019.
