The major determinates of human health include health policies, social factors, health care, genetics and individual behavior. Several studies have shown that individual behavior is the major contributor to health for most of us. As the Mat-Su Health Foundation attempts to improve health outcomes in the Matanuska Valley it is trying to better understand behavioral health. In this program we will discuss health, behavioral health, and access to care through focusing on the Mat-Su Behavioral Health Environmental Scan.
