Greetings,
Youssef Azami, a former combined master's student in the School of Public Health and also School of Public Affairs at the University of Washington studies what knowledge these graduate students had about U.S. health in comparison to other countries. Not much it turns out.
A comprehensive report on his findings along with many useful links, produced by Kate Stringer at our School of Public Health can be found at
https://sph.washington.edu/news-events/sph-blog/how-social-and-economic-inequalities-are-impacting-life-expectancy-in-america
Very few schools in this country, at any level, teach about the poor health status of Americans. We have work to do.
