American health care systems are failing to use one of the most accurate research methods, random assignment, in drug trial studies. This research method helps researchers pinpoint the cause of illnesses and the effectiveness of treatment. #RUCHealth2019

Approximately 700 women die each year from pregnancy complications. Inadequate health care coverage is a key issue. Increased Medicaid funding can prevent maternal deaths and enhance postpartum care. #RUCHealth2019

Experts think increasing Medicaid could help address the racial disparities that exist in maternal mortality rates. “There’s racism in the health care system. Coverage is a piece of that, but we need to transform the system,” said Taylor. via @RachelHBluth https://t.co/avv64Rh1KV

Race, low socioeconomic status, and implicit bias put older adults, especially minorities, at risk for poor quality of care and higher rates of mortality. What are some ways to counter these disparities and create true equality within the health care system? #RUCHealth2019

@Evan37614860 @MailOnline Over 70,000 drug overdose deaths occurred in 2017 alone (CDC). Many people pursue harder drugs, like heroin, after becoming addicted to prescription pills. There should be harsher punishments for mainstream suppliers and more authority given to the DEA #RUCHealth2019

Drug prevention programs, such as D.A.R.E., have been proven to be ineffective. However, teens and adolescents need to be educated about substance abuse and how to deal with it. Should that responsibility fall on teachers, or is this a family and community issue? #RUCHEALTH2019

#Middle school teachers, are you looking to incorporate drug education into your classroom? Teach your students the real facts about opioids with NIDA’s “Mind Matters: Opioids”: https://t.co/QG8XXAXMeH

Lack of time is the biggest complaint for people who don’t exercise. What are some quick and easy exercises one can do at home to build their confidence and motivation? #RUCHealth2019

The human heart is made for frequent physical activity. When we engage in sedentary activities, our hearts become enlarged with thicker wall chambers much like the hearts of apes and chimps. This can cause long-term heart problems. #RUCHealth2019

[AsapSCIENCE @AsapSCIENCE]

Exercise changes the physiology of your heart. This study found that if you aren’t active your heart ends up looking more similar to a chimp or an ape. Want a more human heart? Go on more walks. https://t.co/gZtxcb93Ca

How can we raise children’s health consciousness? What are some ways we can make healthy meals more appealing to them? #RUCHealth2019

@rlg160scarletm1 I think soda is unhealthy, and calling it “diet” doesn’t add any nutritional value to it. The corn syrup alone is extremely high in sugar. I think the title is misleading in hopes of attracting customers who are concerned about their health and eating habits. #RUCHealth2019

@deedee4610 These checkups are a great idea! Many people are suffering from mental illnesses in silence; they are too embarrassed to seek help. Such checkups could also help prevent illnesses caused by stress, such as depression, if people are given tips on stress management #RUCHealth2019

We’ve learned that stress causes physical and hormonal changes. How does stress affect fertility in men and in women? #RUCHealth2019
