TFAH Report Released: Advancing Policies that Create Conditions for Good Health

The Trust for America's Health (TFAH) released Advancing Policies that Create Conditions for Good Health: Opportunities, Barriers, and Strengths examines how reduced federal support is affecting states’ ability to advance initiatives that strengthen housing access, food affordability, transportation safety, and workplace protections. The report is the newest in  TFAH’s Promoting Health and Cost Control in States (PHACCS) report series highlighting evidence-based policies and programs states can pursue to improve residents’ health and reduce healthcare spending. Drawing on input from advocates, service providers, and government staff, the report highlights how states are working to maintain momentum by building cross sector partnerships and developing locally tailored strategies. It also includes examples of recent bipartisan and community driven progress and outlines what states will need to continue advancing policies that support good health.
