| Unnatural Causes in Columbus |
|
UNNATURAL CAUSES is sounding the alarm about America's glaring socio-economic and racial inequities in health - and search for root causes. The four-hour series sifts through the evidence to discover there is much more to our health than bad habits, health care, or unlucky genes. The social conditions in which we are born, live and work profoundly affect our health and longevity. For more information, please visit www.unnaturalcauses.org or En Espanol. UNNATURAL CAUSES aired nationally on PBS (locally by WOSU Media – channel 34) in March and April, 2008.
