The 13th edition of American Public Policy: Promise and Performance has recently been made available for widespread use by CQ Press, a Washington DC based division of Sage Publications.

Meet Kayla Marker, a research associate at Kent State University’s Center for Public Policy and Health (CPPH).

Kent State Today released a new episode of What's the Big Idea featuring one of the Kent State Center for Public Policy and Health's top priorities: The Northeast Ohio Tri-County Prevention Infrastructure (TCPI or Tri-C Project)

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.

Discover the range of resources and watch Abby Eng and. Lynette Phillips, co-coordinators of the biostatistical consulting group, explain how the practice of offering services not only aids the community but graduate students working at the Center as well.

Watch this episode of “What's the Big Idea” to learn about the Northeast Ohio Tri-County Prevention Infrastructure project. Using advanced techniques including machine learning to analyze social media posts, the Tri-C tracks substance use in real time to direct prevention efforts.
