Northwest Health Foundation, through its Community Health Priorities Project, has just released new public opinion research conducted by Davis Hibbitts Midghall, revealing areas where Oregonians want health dollars spent.
Among the findings:
• 84 percent support increasing state funds for farm-to-school programs to provide children with healthier meals
• 84 percent support more state money to provide physical education in schools
• 71 percent want lawmakers to limit tobacco advertising in Oregon
• 63 percent would support the government adding fluoride to drinking water
“It’s clear Oregonians understand health is about so much more than the health care debate raging nationwide,” said CHP’s David Rebanal. “It is about access to health care, but it’s also about what we can do as a state to make it easier for people to make healthy choices.”
