Health feels more manageable when we understand it.

Learning about your care and medicine makes hard health moments easier. When a professional teaches you something about your health, that counts as health education, and it helps you make informed choices about your medical care.

This week’s Weekly Watch also looks at brain games that may help keep your mind sharp, what the new SNAP eligibility and Medicaid rules mean for recipients, whether chatbots can be “poisoned” by fake facts, and why soap and water work better than hand sanitizer.

This Child Health Day, we’re highlighting one way to help give children a healthy start: recommended vaccines. Vaccines can help protect babies and children from serious, vaccine-preventable diseases like measles, whooping cough, flu, and pneumococcal disease. By helping the body build protection against these diseases, vaccines support your child’s health as they grow.

Your zip code shouldn't decide your future.

New evidence from the HOPE VI Program shows that connecting neighborhoods expands opportunity. The program redeveloped isolated public housing into mixed-income communities, and the children raised there went on to earn more.

This week's Weekly Watch also looks at how cultural identity shapes mental health, a community-led farmers market fighting food insecurity in southeast Atlanta, NIH grant delays and cuts to health disparities research, and how herd immunity protects the people around us.
