Evidence for Action (E4A) grantees are conducting research to assess health outcomes and address key determinants of health, with a particular focus on improving population health and racial equity. Grantee research results will help identify actionable strategies and priorities for building a Culture of Health.
Greening as a Health Intervention
Green space goes hand-in-hand with cardiovascular health, with tree planting as a possible strategy to improve health. Research shows that areas with more plants and trees (greenness) are associated with lower incidence of cardiovascular disease. Additionally, living in greener, more walkable neighborhoods is associated with lower incidence of Alzheimer's Disease.
New Partnerships Support Health
Building cross-sector partnerships to hand out colon cancer test kits at DMV breaks down barriers to healthcare by increasing the ways and places people can access public health services.
