What is Health: The American Perception of Overall Health

Published on Nov 18, 2015

This is a research study designed to understand how people perceive "health," and the ways in which they define health. The goal of the "What is Health?" study is to gather data on health perceptions in order to identify gaps in these views. In doing so, it will be possible to develop programming to better meet the health needs of the general public.
