在应对2014-2016年西非埃博拉病毒病（埃博拉）疫情期间，CDC在两个方面解决了这一疾病：在西非的疫情中心和美国国内。这两个区域对信息的需求不同。这一流行病的严重性不仅反映在生命的丧失上，也反映在它在全世界造成的恐惧、错误信息和耻辱上。疾病预防控制中心帮助提高认识，促进采取行动阻止埃博拉病毒的传播，并协调疾病预防控制中心与多个国际和国内合作伙伴的沟通努力。疾病预防控制中心在合作伙伴的投入下，大大增加了针对不同需求、健康素养水平和文化偏好群体的埃博拉传播材料数量。疾病预防控制中心向西非派遣了卫生宣传员，以支持各国卫生部制定和传播明确的、以科学为基础的信息，并促进以科学为基础的行为干预。在西非，与当地电台、电视台和手机企业的伙伴关系使传播适当的信息取得最大效果成为可能。疾病预防控制中心及其合作伙伴以文化上适当的方式传达不断发展的科学和风险，以激励人们适应他们的行为，预防埃博拉病毒的感染和传播。承认什么是已知的，什么是未知的是有效的风险沟通的关键，美国疾病控制和预防中心与合作伙伴合作，将健康促进以及行为和文化知识纳入应对措施，以提高对埃博拉病毒实际风险的认识，并促进采取保护行动和具体步骤来阻止其传播。如果没有与许多美国和国际合作伙伴的合作，本报告中总结的活动是不可能的（http：//www.cdc.gov/vhf/ebola/outbreaks/2014-west-africa/partners.html）。
During the response to the 2014-2016 Ebola virus disease (Ebola) epidemic in West Africa, CDC addressed the disease on two fronts: in the epidemic epicenter of West Africa and at home in the United States. Different needs drove the demand for information in these two regions. The severity of the epidemic was reflected not only in lives lost but also in the amount of fear, misinformation, and stigma that it generated worldwide. CDC helped increase awareness, promoted actions to stop the spread of Ebola, and coordinated CDC communication efforts with multiple international and domestic partners. CDC, with input from partners, vastly increased the number of Ebola communication materials for groups with different needs, levels of health literacy, and cultural preferences. CDC deployed health communicators to West Africa to support ministries of health in developing and disseminating clear, science-based messages and promoting science-based behavioral interventions. Partnerships in West Africa with local radio, television, and cell phone businesses made possible the dissemination of messages appropriate for maximum effect. CDC and its partners communicated evolving science and risk in a culturally appropriate way to motivate persons to adapt their behavior and prevent infection with and spread of Ebola virus. Acknowledging what is and is not known is key to effective risk communication, and CDC worked with partners to integrate health promotion and behavioral and cultural knowledge into the response to increase awareness of the actual risk for Ebola and to promote protective actions and specific steps to stop its spread.The activities summarized in this report would not have been possible without collaboration with many U.S. and international partners (http://www.cdc.gov/vhf/ebola/outbreaks/2014-west-africa/partners.html).
