Important Health Behaviors and Topics: There are a variety of factors that influence one’s health, whether they are
health behaviors, health services, or other factors. We asked our stakeholders and community members to rank the top
three items they felt were most important to adults (18+) in their communities. The full list of health topics are shown in
Exhibit 15. Professionals and community members both viewed health screenings and annual checkups to be of greatest
