Description
AN ESSENTIAL CONVERSATION FROM TODAYS LEADING VOICES ON EFFECTING CHANGE IN HEALTH AND SOCIETY The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation has changed the conversation about health in the United States. -Jo Ivey Boufford, President, New York Academy of MedicineIn a society where a persons zip code is a stronger predictor of health status than their genetic profile, every public health challenge is also a challenge of equity, implementation, and policy. For better or worse, improving health requires societal change, and the scale of todays societal challenges can have a stifling effect on even the most well-intended efforts.Assembled by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and featuring todays most prominent voices from diverse sectors, Knowledge to Action is a collection of short conversations focused on the idea of meaningful change - its definition, its impediments, and exploring how we can transition from research to action in health, well-being, and equity. Steeped in honesty and benefiting from the diverse experiences of an extraordinary assembly of academics, journalists, policymakers,public health practitioners, and researchers, this book offers provocative yet actionable perspectives that will benefit anyone who reads it.
