Culture of Health Policy Options for New Jersey

In an effort to facilitate informed policymaking by incoming leaders, the Center for State Health Policy, in collaboration with the Heldrich Center for Workforce Development, aims to develop a strategic document that highlights a set of specific, evidence-based, high-impact policies across the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's (RWJF) Culture of Health Action Framework that hold the collective promise of improving overall health and well-being for all New Jersey residents. The objective for this project is to develop, in collaboration with RWJF, a policy report for New Jersey that is grounded in the Culture of Health tenets that: 1) assesses trends in key health and social determinants of health measures; 2) identifies windows of opportunity for advancing well-being through evidence-based policy and systems change; and 3) presents recommendations for action in terms that are accessible to policymakers and stakeholders.
