Over the past century in the U.S., there has been a reversal in morbidity and mortality trends due to advances in public health and healthcare. Chronic diseases are now the leading causes of death but researchers focus on prevention through community interventions. Significant accomplishments like vaccinations for diseases have led to declines in cases, hospitalizations, and costs. Applying community health education theories that target social and behavioral norms through multi-level interventions may have also contributed to reduced morbidity and mortality.
