The case for evidence and collaboration in pursuit of health equityIn this second volume of the Culture of Health series, Advancing Health and Well-Being convenes experts from academia, policy, journalism, and community-based organizations, among other sectors, to examine how data and narrative can catalyze progress toward building a national Culture of Health.Tackling topics such as health inequity, mass incarceration, and climate change, Advancing Health and Well-Being does more than draw lines between cause and effect; its 70 voices lend context and lived experience to critical conversations that may lack such elements. The result is a work that shows the power and promise of evidence and collaboration.Amid continued interest in population health and well-being, this book offers essential reading for those advancing such efforts, and those seeking an early grounding, in pursuit of a Culture of Health.
How can data-driven evidence and cross-sector collaboration be effectively leveraged to dismantle systemic barriers and achieve health equity? Alonzo L. Plough, a prominent public health leader, curates a collection of insights from 70 contributors spanning academia, policy, journalism, and community advocacy. The book argues that technical data must be synthesized with human narrative to address complex societal issues, providing a framework for building a national Culture of Health.
