The Health Policy Institute of Ohio partnered with the Ohio Center of Excellence for Behavioral Health Prevention and Promotion to take a closer look at what's driving the trend on early death. This webinar explored the experiences and environments that lead to deaths among working-age Ohioans.
Many Ohioans struggle with poor health outcomes that result in early death. These deaths are largely preventable and have a tremendous impact on Ohio families and communities. Using data from the 2024 Health Value Dashboard, Hailey Akah, Vice President of Operations and Strategy at HPIO, reviewed the findings of the data brief “What’s driving the trend on early death?”, discussing trends and disparities in four key areas—addiction and overdose, alcohol overuse, tobacco use and violence and firearms—and spotlighted examples of policies and programs that are evidence-based to improve outcomes.
Dr. Holly Raffle, Professor at Ohio University Voinovich School of Leadership and Public Service and Faculty Director of the Ohio Center of Excellence for Behavioral Health Prevention & Promotion, moderated a panel discussion that highlighted successful behavioral health prevention initiatives that can impact outcomes across the key areas highlighted in the data brief.

- Barbara Adams Marin, Prevention Services Supervisor, Talbert House
