Message from our 2013 President, Amy Bernard

Hello OSOPHE members!

I can’t believe it is already March - although I am thrilled that we’re not too far from SPRING!  Your Ohio SOPHE Board had a wonderful board retreat on February 1^st where we brainstormed a list of goals for OSOPHE. (Click below to read some of the highlights)

Join in the Movement!

We have good news!  We have two legislators very close to announcing legislation to adopt state health education standards.  

We are one of only two states in our country without state health education standards to help guide effective instruction in our schools!   State Health Education Standards would provide a quality framework for effective class instruction, but would not mandate content/topics or cost taxpayers more money. There an easy way you can help!

1) Has your organization officially endorsed, or do you know any organizations that can sign on as endorsers of this initiative?   It can be done online and it's easy!  http://setthestandards.wordpress.com/.

New Interactive Map on Injury Prevention

Ohio scores 3 out of 10 on key indicators of steps we could take to prevent injury and death.  Find out more about what we can do to improve!

Injuries are the third-leading cause of death nationally, and the leading cause of death for Americans between the ages of 1 and 44. 

A new interactive map on rwjf.org tracks state injury death rates and the policies that states have in place to reduce harm from automobile accidents, recreational activities, intimate partner violence and other common causes of injury across the United States.

The map uses updated data from The Facts Hurt: A State-by-State Injury Prevention Policy Report by the Trust for America’s Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The report concludes that millions of injuries could be prevented annually if more states adopted additional research-based injury prevention policies, and if programs were fully implemented and enforced.
