| I know there are public service announcements given on television regarding health issues, but they are not seen by many citizens. There should be many more ways of disseminating information.

| I need to lose wight | NPU 2 |
| I think more clinics in the neighborhood should be available, esp. to residents on a limited income or who are uninsured. I'd love to see more grocery stores which carry health conscious options at a reasonable price (not Whole Foods) and within walking distance.I'd like to see MARTA expanded and people choose public transit/walking/biking over driving. I'd love to see gentrification work to improve the neighborhood and bring about positive health changes and not force people to relocate to areas that lack these positive social/health services. I'd love for health professionals to be more visible in the community (school/church visits, partnerships w/ the NPU for community events etc). | NPU 3 |
| I think that local ordinances could help. | NPU 1 |
| I think the city of Atlanta should help fund resources that help prevent disease, cleanup our brownfields, and support our community members. | NPU 4 |
| I've made some suggestions above. | NPU 4 |
| Increase funding for mental health facilities and funding. Weight reduction and quality life programs. | NPU 4 |
| Increase mass transit, get people out of their cars. More exercise. | NPU 7 |
