Healthy Kansans contains interviews of individuals who were involved with development and implementation of state health policy from the 1970s through the early decades of the 2000s. Kansas saw a decline in its State Health Performance Indicators during the last 30 years.

The interviews elicit insights about the policy making process, the assignment of priorities, and the give-and-take involved in reaching final policy decisions
