Description
Health is more than the sum of its parts. Sometimes in surprising ways, factors such as childhood experiences, housing conditions, poor diets, and healthcare access drive who ends up sick — and who does not. This Forum event, held in connection with a new poll by the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and NPR, investigated these factors from the perspective of experts and the U.S. public, as well as examined public perceptions of what impacts health and what actions can be taken to improve health.
Presented March 3, 2015 in Collaboration with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and NPR.
