The Forum at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health presents an panel discussion exploring the determinants of health. Health is more than the sum of its parts, and factors like childhood experiences, housing conditions, poor diets, and healthcare access can drive who ends up sick – and who does not.
This Forum event, held in connection with a new poll by the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and NPR, will investigate these factors from the perspective of experts and the U.S. public. It will also examine public perceptions of what impacts health and what actions can be taken to improve health.

-
Robert Blendon, Senior Associate Dean for Policy Translation and Leadership Development, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health
-
Dwayne Proctor, Director and Senior Adviser, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation
