The conclusions were that the innovations worked as well as traditional methods but may provide non-academic benefits, and they provide research-backed alternatives for programs unable to implement the models.
This document summarizes key ideas from an article about challenging gifted readers in the internet era. It discusses how aliteracy is an issue, with 15% of 4th graders reading slowly. It also notes that media use among children ages 8-10 is around 5.5 hours daily. The document then lists four factors that can limit reading engagement in schools: developing test takers over readers, limiting authentic experiences, overteaching books, and underteaching books.
The document describes the Florida CARES Project, which aims to reduce overweight and obesity among employees of the Santa Rosa School District in Florida. The project will provide health screenings, fitness classes, dietary education, and incentives to encourage healthy behaviors over one year. Key partners include hospitals, universities, the school district, and health organizations. The project budget is $476,007 and will be funded through grants and potential support from a health institute. The goals are to reduce BMI by 5% and increase physical activity and healthy eating among participants.
This document is a report on obesity in the United States that was published in September 2019 by Trust for America's Health. It discusses trends showing that obesity rates have increased dramatically over the past few decades and now over 100 million Americans have obesity. The report features data on racial and ethnic disparities in obesity rates. It also examines numerous policies and programs aimed at improving nutrition, increasing physical activity, and reducing obesity at federal, state, and local levels across different sectors like nutrition assistance, education, community design, and healthcare. The report concludes that while some policies have shown positive impacts, more still needs to be done to adequately address obesity as the status quo is not sufficient to counter the factors contributing to increasingly unhealthy behaviors.
This document summarizes a presentation on public and global health informatics from 2014. For public health informatics, it reviewed literature from 2013-2014 and found articles focused on syndromic surveillance, immunization registries, and population health. It noted ongoing challenges around interoperability and jurisdictional silos. For global health informatics, it described the search strategy and inclusion/exclusion criteria used to identify 199 relevant articles published between 2012-2013. The majority of global health informatics articles covered telemedicine, mHealth, and EMR/EHR technologies.
This document summarizes a presentation given by Julie A. Willems Van Dijk on the Greater Louisville Project. The presentation discusses how county health rankings are used to simplify complex health data and spur communities to action. It explores factors that influence health outcomes and how communities can implement policies and programs to improve health. Examples are given of Hernando, MS and Wyandotte County, KS taking action after examining their local data. The presentation encourages Louisville to focus on social and economic factors and work across all sectors to enact sustainable health improvements.
Pacific County Rural Health Project, University of WA Coursework, Summer 2010rasmusjm
Pacific County is a rural county in Washington with high rates of obesity, lack of physical activity, and limited access to dental care compared to the state average. The county has a population of 20,900 spread across small towns and isolated areas with limited healthcare access. To address these issues, the county could implement a "Fit and Fun" community program model to promote physical activity and healthy eating among youth. The model utilizes school and community partnerships, programs, and education to encourage healthy choices. Additional efforts like developing walking/biking trails could further support physical activity.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

King is currently Executive Director of the Florida Public Health Institutes and is on faculty at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine Department of Epidemiology and Public Health, the Department of Global Health and Social Medicine at Harvard Medical School, and Senior Faculty at the Massachusetts General Hospital Disparities Solutions.Martha mutes her microphone and unmutes Dr. King.
Thank you, Martha and welcome everyone to the fourth annual release of the County Health Rankings for Florida. Before we get started, I want to share with you what we do at the Florida Public Health InstituteAbout the Florida Public Health InstituteThe Florida Public Health Institute (FPHI) is a freestanding 501c 3 corporation incorporated in 2001, that conducts action-oriented research and promotes leadership, partnerships and collaborations to build capacity for strong public health policy, programs, systems and practices. The mission of the Institute is to “advance the knowledge and practice of public health to promote, protect and improve the health of all.” FPHI accomplishes this by promoting improvements in health by providing information and knowledge to inform health policy, conducting applied research and supporting multi-stakeholder collaborations to support leaders in taking aligned actions for measurable results in order to build healthy communities.
Dr. King: Welcome to the release of the Florida’s 2013 County Health Rankings. Over the next 30 minutes or so, we’re going to review:A little about the background of the County Health Rankings: For those of you who have participated in previous year’s releases, tuned in to the national teleconference this morning, or attended some of the webinars offered by the University of Wisconsin Center for Population Health Studies in the run-up to this year’s release, you will already have heard some of the information we will review this morning. For that reason, we are going to move quickly through some of the background information. If this is new to you, I encourage you to spend a little time on the County Health Rankings website where you can view recordings of previous webinars such as County Health Rankings and Roadmaps 101. On that website, you may also sign up to be notified of future Webinars and other events. An quick overview of how the Rankings are calculated and some observation and highlights of this year’s Rankings for FloridaA review of the Roadmaps portion of the County Health Rankings website and how it may be used as a tool for your new and existing community initiativesFinally we’ll review some ways the Rankings might be used to make a difference in your communityAnd then we’ll try to answer your questions
Just quickly this is the fourth year that the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute has calculated the Rankings with the support of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The Florida Public Health Institute, with the support of the RWJF and University of Wisconsin releases the Rankings here in Florida. You can find all of the data and a lot of other resources at the county health rankings website and you may link to it from the Institute website. At the FLPHI website you may also download one page data summaries for each of Florida’s counties.
County Health Rankings shows us that where we live, learn, work, and play matters to our health. The Rankings shows us that much of what influences our health happens outside of the doctors’ office. People from public health and health care, business, education, and government sectors must work together to create programs and policies to help people lead healthier lives and build healthier communities.
NOTE to Presenter: The most important takeaway from this slide is that Rankings are a starting pointfor mobilizing community ACTION toward health improvement.Why Rank? KEY POINTSThe Rankings are way to take number of different pieces data andsimplify for people to show quick and easy snapshot of their community’s health. The Rankings serve as hook to get our attention. We’re competitive, like to know who’s winning, who’s not, and who’s doing better than others. The Rankings generate media coverage. This is good because will help people understand health status of their community. It’s an opportunity for people to tell the story of many factors affecting health in a community.TheRankings add context.A number by itself doesn’t tell much. TheCounty Health Rankings allow communities to compare themselves with others within their state, and they can also compare to national benchmarks on individual measures.The Rankings provide an opportunity to ignite discussion and action at local level with many diverse members of community from multiple sectors.The Rankings report is a starting point for discussion in communities, not anending point. Communities will want to dig into local data to further understand what’s going on in order to know where and how to take action.
What the Rankings are not is a replacement for a community health needs assessment.For the County Health Rankings to create a database that can generate an apples-to-apples comparison of every county in the entire United States, they must only use indicators available for all 3,000 plus counties. So they don’t provide all of the information about what’s going on in a community. More local data is needed, and there are often more current sources for information specific to Florida or to an individual county than the indicator used by the Rankings.The single best starting point for detailed data specific to Florida or to an individual county is Florida CHARTS, which is housed within the Florida Department of Health. AHCA also tracks a great deal of clinical care information and each of Florida’s 11 Regional Health Planning Councils produce a number of reports and assessments of the counties within their regions, some with interactive health information dashboards.Oral Health Florida has created several county-level data compilations and links to many of the resources may be found at the Florida Public Health Institute website.(Note to Dr. King: It’s up to you but considering the politics, if you want to make a little remark about the slide not containing the logos of all 11 local health councils – only those whose logos were easy to grab in jpeg format from their websites – it might prevent mild drama)
So if there are these Florida-based sources of health information, why Rank? This is the logic model on which the County Health Rankings and Roadmaps project is based…
…and here’s where we are today – the release of the 2013 Rankings. Our ultimate goal is not just to issue a report card on the counties. The ultimate goal is to improve health outcomes by gaining attention to the areas of the health that may be improved, building community engagement to implement evidence-based community projects, programs and policies.
So what are the Rankings and what are Florida’s 2013 Rankings?
With the County Health Rankings nearly each county across the nation receives two rankings: health outcomes (current health of the community as compared to other counties within a particular state) and health factors (estimate of future health of your community as compared to other counties within a particular state.Counties are only ranked in comparison/relative to other counties within a particular state. This is a particularly important distinction because it means that sometimes – even if every county in the state has improved its health measurements over the past year – a particular county may maintain the same ranking that it had the previous year or even decline because another county has experienced greater improvements in some areas.
The Health Outcome Measure is calculated by combining mortality and morbidity rates. Mortality rates are determined solely on a county’s premature death rates. This can sometimes skew a county’s data, such as for Union County, which has ranked 67th in Health Outcomes for each of the past four years that the County Health Rankings has been released because of the death rate among the prison population in that county.The morbidity rate is calculated using the numbers of poor of fair physical health days and poor or fair mental health days, and the rate of low birthweight babies. The source of this data is available on the county health rankings website.
The second of the two overall rankings is the Health-Factors ranking. To those of us working to improve the health of our communities, this is probably the more relevant of the two rankings because it is a snapshot of our current lives and it portends our future health outcomes. As you can see from the weighting of the factors, much of what influences our health happens outside of the doctor’s office. We can have the best back-end care in the world, but without addressing issues like obesity, primary care, dental care, the quality of our educational systems, access to healthy food and safe drinking water, the rates of chronic disease will continue climbing and the amount we pay for healthcare will keep rising.
This graphic shows how it all comes together. Starting from the bottomThe Orange Box, Policies and Programs drive outcomes around health factors. (orange box) The programs and policies in place determines whether people are more or less likely to engage in risky behaviors, their access to & quality of clinical care, their economic & education status, how socially connected they feel, and important elements in physical environment. Policies and programs are not ranked by the County Health Rankings but rather are what a community should look at to see why their county ranks where it does or where changes may be made to improve their health factors and outcomes. And these do not necessarily mean laws and ordinances or any type of government involvement. An example might be a business’s policy to provide on-site exercise opportunities for their employees, or a PTA launching a walking school bus or developing safe routes to school. Next come the Health Factors (the blue boxes): Health behaviors; this like whether we get enough exercise, smoke or drink too much, or practice safe sexClinical care; our ability to see a primary care provider for check-ups, whether or not we’re keeping our mouth healthy and getting proper screenings for early detection of disease, and whether we are ending up in the hospital for conditions that could have been prevented with proper primary careSocio-economic conditions, which is given the most weight of all of the factors because of the overwhelming evidence tying education and a decent income to better health, and because the healthiest people in the world can still have their lives cut short by violence.The quality of our physical environment; whether we have access to healthy food, clean air and safe drinking waterThese are factors that determine how long people live and quality of their lives. The blue boxes are things communities can work on now to help improve their future. And at the top of the list is the Health Outcomes measure, how healthy we are today. (the green boxes) Length of life – tells whether people are dying too early Quality of life – tells how well people feel while living
Every year since the Rankings were first calculated on a national basis, the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute has tweaked the formula for calculating the Rankings. This is because more relevant data becomes available that was not previously available for every county in the nation.Data Updates: This is the first year that the Rankings have been calculated with Census data based on the 2010 Census rather than 2000.Change:Motor vehicle crash rates: A slight change in the definition of motor vehicle crashes to align with Health People 2020 objectives. The new definition excludes crashes that happen off of roadways.New:Dentists: Oral health care is a key indicator for the health of communities. Dentist shortages are widespread, and affect the quality of dental care provision in the communities.Change: Primary care physicians: The weighting was changed to accommodate the inclusion of dentists. In addition, the definition of primary care Physicians which changed slightly to include doctors of osteopathy and to exclude obstetricians, bringing the definition in alignment with the Health Resources & Services administration Change: Air pollution particulate-matter days and air pollution ozone days – These measures used in past years were replaced with daily fine particulate matter From the CDC wonder environmental data. This updated measure of air quality became available this year. This new measure of the average daily fine particulate matter offers several advantages over the prior measures of care quality including the recency and precision. Change:Drinking Water Safety - Tainted drinking water is estimated to sick and over one million Americans each year. This new measure estimates the proportion of the county’s population whose water system has been affected by at least one health-related violation in the past year.Of all of the changes to the calculations, the changes to the how the Physical Environment rankings are calculated seems to have had the biggest impact on where the counties rank.
And here is where Florida is today. The lightest colored counties are in the top 25 percent in rank moving down to the darkest, which are in the bottom quartile.If you’ve followed the Rankings over the past few years, one thing you may notice is that the colors don’t change much. Counties’ specific rankings may shift from year-to-year based on individual variables, but whether they are in the top, bottom or one of the middle quartiles doesn’t seem to change much. In general, the rural counties with fewer resources and less vibrant economies have poorer health.
Looking at the top and bottom five counties reinforces the connection between health and the resources of a county. (Just a note that Union probably would not be in the bottom five of Health Outcomes if not for its large prison population.)
But just because we’re living longer, doesn’t necessarily mean that we’re living better. Obesity rates are climbing and the amount of exercise we’re getting is dropping. This does not bode well for our future quality of life or for how much money we will need to spend to treat the chronic diseases caused by these issues
I want to show you a couple of features of the County Health Rankings website. What you’re seeing here is a screenshot of the home page where you can click on your state to bring up the rankings
Here is a screen shot of Florida and it is in green because we are seeing the Health Outcome rankings. If we were to click on the blue Health Factors button, the image would change to show the health-factor rankings in blue
If you click on a county you will bring up a screen like this. In this case we have selected St. Johns County. Here you can see the where the county ranks on each of the components of the Health Outcomes and Health Factors. If you want to learn more about the individual factors and see the data sources, you can click right on the indicator and it will provide you with a great deal of detail.
I want to call your attention to a helpful feature. At the top of each county page, there is an “Areas to Explore” button that can be toggled on and off. If you click it on…
…You will see various Rankings highlighted. These indicate critical areas to be addressed. On the county data sheets that FPHI has distributed and that we will soon have available for download on the FPHI website, we have highlighted those indicators for each county.
Also on the page you can see additional measures that are not uniform enough across all counties in the country to be used in the Rankings but is nevertheless very useful information.
So here’s a look at just some of the additional data available.We have included some of these indicators on the county one-pagers FPHI has prepared.
All of this data lets us see how where we live, learn, work, and play influences how healthy we are and how long we live. The County HealthRankings & Roadmaps show us what is making residents sick, where we need to improve, and what communities can do to create a culture of health. Having health insurance is important–but much of what affects our health happens outside of the doctor’s office. It’s hard to live a healthy life if you live in an unhealthy place.
The Rankings raise multifaceted challenges that require all-hands-on-deck solutions
The ultimate goal of the County Health Rankings is not just to issue a report card on the counties. It’s ultimate goal is to improve health outcomes by gaining attention to the areas of the health that may be improved, building community engagement to implement evidence-based community projects, programs and policies. So how do we get from where we are today to our goal of improved health outcomes?
By publicizing the Rankings we hope to spark the kind of broad community engagement necessary to implement some of the evidence-based health program and policies that will improve long-term health outcomes and hold down the cost of healthcare.
This is what it looks like when a community comes together to take action.
Acknowledging where your community is doing well and identifying health problems is the first step—taking action is the second and most important step and here is where the County Health Roadmaps can be an important tool for local health improvement coalition.
Unfortunately, we don’t have time today to take you through a tour of the Roadmaps to Health section of the County Health Rankings & Roadmaps website, but I strongly encourage you to spend some time exploring it on your own. You will find tools for community organizing, a variety of evidence-based health policies and programs to consider for your community, sources of funding to help support your community health improvement initiative, and a whole lot more. On the website you can also register for upcoming training Webinars that delve deeper into these topics.
Moving forward it’s up to each of us move our communities to take action.
So who are the types of community leaders you should approach to get something started? This chart shows just an example of the many sectors of the local community who have a role to play in the policies and programs that impact health. We encourage you to meet with these groups and share the Rankings data.
Martha: I want to thank everyone who has taken the time to attend today’s webinar, and thank Dr. King for his time and professional insights. The slides for today’s webinar will be available on the Florida Public Health Institute website at www.flphi.org and as soon as possible we will have a recording of the webinar posted there also. Have a great day and be well!
