Abstract
Communicating Zika virus preventive behaviors, transmission paths, and the underlying science are challenging. There are many scientific unknowns, an uncertainty of the risk, and tragic consequences for pregnant women and their fetuses. Clear, consistent, and frequent communication from trusted sources and channels makes it easier for people to understand Zika information which can help them to make decisions. Effective communication can support attitudes, norms, and behaviors to prevent the spread of Zika and protect pregnant women.
