MISSION

AS A MISSION TEAM, WE WATCHED THE NETFLIX DOCUMENTARY “TAKE YOUR PILLS” TO GIVE US MORE INSIGHT INTO SOME OF THE EFFECTS OF PSYCHOSTIMULANT DRUGS IN TODAY’S SOCIETY. AS A PUBLIC HEALTH MISSION TEAM, WE ARE FOCUSED ON LEARNING ABOUT DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF PUBLIC HEALTH TO BRING AWARENESS AND CHANGE TO IMPROVE HEALTH OUTCOMES. PUBLIC HEALTH HAS MANY FACES AND THE USES AND DANGERS OF STIMULANT DRUGS IS A PREVALENT TOPIC THAT AFFECTS MANY COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE UNITED STATE SO LEARNING ABOUT THIS TOPIC WAS OF IMPORTANCE TO OUR MISSION.
