The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) creates dozens of research reports every year for use by the general public, journalists, and public health specialists. As its site notes, "we continue to support a variety of forms of research to inform both our grantmaking and broader health-related policy." On the site, visitors can look over the Data Center which contains dozens of data sets via the foundation’s official data host, the Health and Medical Care Archive at the University of Michigan. These data sets include the National Profile of Local Health Departments and the National Youth Smoking Cessation Survey. First-time visitors may wish to look over the Most Requested items which include annual reports and blog posts, such as "Why Do Deaths from Drugs Like Oxycodone Occur in Different Neighborhoods than Deaths from Heroin?" Additionally, visitors shouldn't miss "50 Years of Tobacco Control: An Interactive Timeline.”
