You Keep With Health News?

For all the public health students out there, if I was to start a discussion on Unnatural Causes it would probably get the old coggs working and take you back to any Intro class you had to sit through.  For those of you not in the know, this seven part movie series on the racial and SES inequalieies of the health system in the United States.

One of the best was In Sickness and In WealthIt tracks the lives and health stats of three employees working in the same hospital in Louisville, KY.  You see first hand how different incomes, stress levels and home environments outcome the health of each person. 

Want to test your health knowledge, or learn a bit more, check out their Health Equity Quiz.  If you want to cheat a little bit, you can find the answers here.
