| 323 of 460 Responded, 137 Missing of Your choices are Important to you . . . . | |
|---|---|
| Mental health in the Black community needs to be addressed because I believe we could eliminate most problems if our mental health overall was better. | NPU 6 |
| Longer qualities of life | NPU 3 |
| Diabetes is a common disease that people are not aware and because we are in a food desert, our neighborhood is more prone to diabetes. Also there are a lot of homeless people are who always drinking at the corner store. | NPU 5 |
| Cancer has been one of our major silent killers...prevention and information on risk factors is essential in my opinion. High Blood Pressure is extremely dangerous and ties in to the poor nutrition that can be cultural in the black community. | NPU 7 |
| Violence is a major issue, people need mental health services there is a high homeless group, and people will buy junk food for breakfast in this community - not all but many | NPU 7 |
| Due to the # of children | NPU 1 |
| Atlanta has been seeing a rise in HIV/AIDS, which is a preventable disease! With the knowledge we have of HIV, we should not see any new infections of the disease at all- if people know how to prevent it, we can stop it! / / Environmental health seems largely ignored in public health literature but something that effects my neighborhood- we have many illegal dumping sights here (thankfully most are no longer active thanks to city action) and we have more than one brownfield. I do not believe residents have the knowledge they need about health and these issues. / / Drug abuse is blamed for several crime related problems in our community. I believe we could help solve some of these problems by teaching residents how we can help. | NPU 2 |
| Nutrition- lack of community resources for healthy nutritional food items. Too many fast food restaurants, based on economic level of neighborhood. / Violence - lack of safety and police presence. Lack of community code enforcement to detour blight and opportunity for birthing crime and criminal activity. / Substance Abuse - lack of safe, educational and welcoming activities for youth and residents. Lack of relationships with community youth to explore rewarding and gratifying ideas and discoveries. / | NPU 6 |
| For the population in this community, these three are common and often misunderstood | NPU 6 |
| Bad air | NPU 1 |
| I see mental health as related to many other community related issues. IE poverty, nutrition, violence, homelessness, drug use, crime, etc / I see Violence playing out in the community all the time. In schools, in homes, on the streets. Its a major issue and can have long term effects for the victims of violence. Lastly living in a formerly industrial city near highways and railroad tracks as well as abandoned factories there are a lot of polluted areas and areas with air quality issues that can affect long term health. | NPU 1 |
| they kill | NPU 7 |
| Because I would like to know how to prevent them from getting wrose | NPU 6 |
