Topic: Making Health a Shared Value
Making health a shared value is the cornerstone of RWJF’s vision for building a Culture of Health. Shared values are conceptualized as a reflection of civic engagement, sense of community, and population-level mindsets and expectations, or social norms. Research we fund in this area focuses on how to shift and align social values in ways that prioritize health and well-being for everyone.
