|---|---|
| In the Mechanicsville community our kids rate high for asthma, I notice mental health id a factor in the City view Apartment, and women's health is an on going need to be address | NPU 1 |
| Nutrition affects all areas of health and is rarely discussed. / Mental health is neglected and those who suffer with it, and their families often have to cope by themselves. / The causes of substance abuse and prevention are also neglected. | NPU 2 |
| Impact on community & self. | NPU 1 |
| NUTRITION: Our diets affect almost all the other issues cited. When we learn how to eat more healthily and actually eat more healthily, we can halt most of the adverse conditions listed. People must come to learn and believe that eating better--much more fruits and vegetables and much less prepare/packaged food AND less red meat--will lead to better health. Ill health is not simply "a crap shoot"; It's what we do to ourselves. / OBESITY: Totally linked to nutrition and is the primary effect of bad nutrition and leads to many | NPU 2 |
| It’s a predominantly African American community and high blood pressure is a silent killer among our people / Obesity is also another big concern. Obese parents are passing it down to the youth. / There’s a lot of residents with undiagnosed mental health issues. You see them walking down the street talking to themselves. People just view them as crazy and don’t want to deal with them but they need help as well | NPU 6 |
| Family history and lack of alternative transportation put me at risk of things like diabetes and heart disease. Also, it's amazing to me that Fulton Co is not smoke free. What is wrong with us??? | NPU 6 |
| These are some health issues that I believe to be present in our community. | NPU 4 |
| Mental health is highly misunderstood and leads to social inequality regarding jobs and health insurance. Obesity is prevalent in the areas I work and the lack of grocery stores there is no wonder that it is an issue. Substance abuse is grossly underestimated in its lethality in our city. | NPU 6 |
| I chose Mental health because very so often do I see it regarded as a rich person problem. / Men’s health because I know men don’t seek out health problems fast enough. / And nutrition because we’re surrounded by so many unhealthy options | NPU 6 |
| STD because of the high rate here. / Vilonence because of the gun shots. / Mental Health because of the constant oppression. | NPU 7 |
| Mental health because so many people are affected but it is rarely discussed. Unaddressed mental health and trauma puts people at risk for everything from losing their job to hurting their families to engaging in unsafe behaviors with sex or drugs. Environmental quality because we could be more vigilant about hazards in our community. Traffic safety because we tolerate the constant engangerment of our children and residents without prioritizing safer streets and drivers. | NPU 1 |
| Close to family | NPU 6 |
| These are important in my community because they are not talked about, but have some of the biggest impact on people’s health and community. Not only do these issues hurt the community physically, but disable us from being able to be socially mobile. | NPU 6 |
