Focus on Quality: Blood Pressure
32% of Missourians have high blood pressure, compared to 29% nationwide. We are working with health care organizations through Target: BP™ to improve BP control rates through an evidence-based quality improvement program.
The Missouri Hypertension Summit gathered health care leaders from across the state to discuss the value of joining Target: BP. In 2020, 27 Missouri organizations were recognized for their participation and achievements in the initiative.
Youth and Tobacco
The tobacco endgame – the path to ending tobacco use and nicotine addiction in the U.S. – is within sight. This could save millions of lives. But e-cigarettes and other products like cigarillos, hookah and smokeless tobacco pose a significant threat. They are gaining popularity, especially with kids and young adults. Nearly 25% of Missouri high school students self-reported they used a tobacco product in the last 30 days.
The American Heart Association is working with school districts to help respond to the youth tobacco/vaping epidemic. If you are interested in learning more or utilizing our Tobacco-Free Schools Toolkit, please reach out to Rachelle.Bartnick@heart.org.
