While the bulk of this book is about data, the America’s Health Rankings® Annual Report is all about action. It’s about going beyond where your state is in the rankings to where it could be. It’s about using the data to investigate why your state fell or rose in the rankings, and then looking for actions to take. What can you do to make your community and state healthier? Searching for answers will lead you to advocacy, to taking steps to implement—and perhaps create—programs that positively affect health in your state.
