Dear Readers,
The May issue of the Journal of Public Health Management and Practice is now available on our website. In this issue, we bring your attention to healthy behaviors with articles on drinking water and SNAP, state preemption policies on consumer beverages, a prescription produce initiative in North Carolina, predictors of dual cigarette use, disparities in marijuana and tobacco smoke incursions during COVID, achievements and challenges of nonfatal injury surveillance, opioid prescribing in San Diego, poison control center data for opioid overdose, evaluation of PrEP implementation in Virginia, indoor public mask wearing behavior changes, telehealth for contraception during COVID, and transitioning the Healthy Chicago survey from phone to mail. Our Getting Practical column looks at centering equity in partnerships. State of Public Health addresses maternal mortality. And NACCHO News focuses on the opioid epidemic.
