The Mission of 91ֿ's College of Public Health is to develop public health leaders and promote sustainable public health innovations in collaboration with community partners in northeast Ohio through teaching, research, and service.
What Have We Been Up To?
The Greater Cleveland LGBTQ+ Community Needs Assessment findings are in. Led by 91ֿ’s College of Public Health, in collaboration with 120 local organizations and nonprofits, this groundbreaking initiative marks a significant stride toward understanding and addressing the unmet needs of LGBTQ+ individuals across Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake and Lorain counties.
Over the Summer, the Center hosted two students as part of the Summer Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE) Program. Emily Bishop and Rachel Dorsey focused their research on the perceptions and usage trends of popular substances: nicotine pouches and whippets.
A team of graduate students at the Center worked to advance public health in Miami County, Ohio. Karan Lamba, Erica Kriausky, and Annika Norton guided by College of Public Health lecturer Rob Kollin, reflect on their experience working on the Miami County Community Health Assessment, effectively applying skills learned in the classroom to the field.
The Garrett Lee Smith Suicide Prevention grant has funded work toward improving the mental health of the Flashes community for the past six years. As the grant concludes at the end of September, we reflect on the legacy it has left on campus.
