Q5: Our country is feeling the consequences of decades on underinvestment in public health prevention. Critical investment areas: workforce, infrastructure & data modernization. We need help and support from all sectors, including businesses and nonprofits. #AHR2021Chat

[APHA @PublicHealth]

A5: To protect and improve the public’s health, we must ensure the public health system is adequately resourced. That includes a strong dedicated funding stream, infrastructure improvements and measures to address workforce shortages. https://t.co/JJPg1n1IGv #AHR2021Chat

A4: To achieve health equity, we must value all people equally. We must address factors that influence health— housing, education, food access, public safety, & more —& name racism as a force that shapes how social determinants are distributed https://t.co/UO36MIjZ5C #AHR2021Chat

A3. AHR's 2021 Annual Report found a drop in excessive drinking, driven by a decline in binge drinking. This was likely attributed to social and physical distance measures and unlikely to be a long-term gain.

A3: One very significant change in behavior was a decline in wellness visits. It is critical that we don't let this become a new normal. Kids need routine immunizations and screenings (as do adults)! #AHR2021Chat

[APHA @PublicHealth]

A3: Uptake of tobacco, alcohol, opioids and other substances during the pandemic are a growing public health concern and threaten to erase gains made in recent decades. Public health interventions are needed to protect health in the long term. https://t.co/yUw9oJYO3M #AHR2021Chat

The #COVID19 pandemic changed people’s routines and behaviors. For example, staying at home gave many people the opportunity to catch up on their sleep, decreasing the reported rate of insufficient sleep. #AHR2021Chat

A2: Meeting people where they are is usually a good strategy! Providing needed health screenings in convenient locations for free can definitely increase screening rates and improve health #AHR2021Chat

[APHA @PublicHealth]

A1: The wide availability of COVID-19 vaccines in the U.S. is a tremendous accomplishment and one of the reasons Americans are feeling better. Protecting yourself and your family against infectious disease is good for physical & mental health. https://t.co/0qenEFBrkm #AHR2021Chat

A1: People who are able to work from home may be finding that they have more time for what really matters by eliminating the commute. Unfortunately, many workers do not have this option. #AHR2021Chat

[APHA @PublicHealth]

A2: Timely health screenings save lives. But barriers exist. Some worry about costs, transportation or taking time off of work. Others are afraid of the screening process or results. Mobile clinics, outreach and community discussions can help. https://t.co/xUGutj2JGq #AHR2021Chat

[UnitedHealth Group @UnitedHealthGrp]

Our America’s Health Rankings 2021 Annual Report found that the prevalence of multiple chronic diseases declined between 2018 and 2020, yet data from @UHC & others show a significant decrease in those getting screened. #AHR2021Chat
