A survey of health directors in large US cities reveals a troubling lack of trust between communities and public health (only 18% report high trust). However, all leaders prioritize partnerships with community-based organizations (CBOs).

Our new resource—Understanding Legal Authority to Address Social Determinants of Health—is designed to help state, tribal, local, and territorial health departments understand the sources and limits of their legal powers.
