The inaugural issue of the Institute of Public and Preventive Health’s Healthy Georgia: Our State of Public Health report debuted at the Georgia Public Health Association conference in May 2022. The Healthy Georgia report is updated on an annual basis, coinciding with the opening of the Georgia General Assembly’s new session each year.
The purpose of the Healthy Georgia report is to provide an evidenced-based overview of public health indicators in Georgia, and how our state compares with others in the southeast region and the United States as a whole. The Healthy Georgia report is intended to inform key public health influencers in Georgia, including our state representatives, government agencies, policymakers, researchers, public health professionals, community leaders, and the public in general. The report highlights differences, both positive and negative, between Georgia, its neighboring states in the southeast region, and the United States as a whole. It also highlights disparities within our state based on race/ethnicity, income, and place of residence (rural/urban).
