The rate of the US population 65+ years of age is rapidly growing. This inevitably comes with an increase in chronic conditions, frailty, and disability, making population aging a leading health challenge for this century, especially in the context of an unprepared healthcare system.
Recognizing that longevity alone does not guarantee quality of life, ASPPH has been focused on Healthy Longevity, particularly during #HealthyAgingMonth. The unique and complex challenges facing aging populations demand a holistic, longitudinal perspective, one that considers the role of wellness and prevention across the life course. In other words – not just healthy aging, but healthy longevity.

Dr. Michael Celestin Jr., assistant professor at ASPPH member school LSU New Orleans School of Public Health, is leading groundbreaking research on tobacco cessation, focusing on interventions for pregnant and postpartum women through a phone-based program. Celestin aims to address the high rates of tobacco use in Louisiana and improve support for those seeking to quit.
Celestin says, "Just because you build it, doesn`t mean they will come. People just need to be reminded about services that are available. Health care professionals need to be reminded to treat their patients. When patients, especially smoking patients, come through hospitals or clinics, health professionals concentrate on the acute health problem."
We are proud of the work that our member organizations are leading in their communities!

Back-to-school season brings excitement for new classes, a new year, and new opportunities. However, it can also lead to an increase in illnesses for kids, teachers, and parents.
“When kids return to school, they encounter new germs, which can lead to more illnesses like the common cold,” said Suzanne Judd, Ph.D., chair of the @uabsoph Department of Health Behavior. "Kids can then bring germs home, impacting families and workplaces."
Follow these tips to stay germ-free at home and protect your friends, family, and coworkers!

Misinformation is all too common and it’s crucial to stay vigilant, especially during an election. Spotting misinformation requires checking the credibility of the source(s), cross-verifying facts by looking for the same news reported on multiple reputable platforms, examining the evidence, and being wary of emotional tactics that exploit you for quick persuasion.
Spreading misinformation threatens the very foundation of democratic engagement and the fair-conduct of elections. Do your civic duty and stay informed.
Learn more about how you can spot and avoid mis&disinformation by visiting the ASPPH Voting is Public Health Guide linked in our bio.
