RESUMO
As Healthy Communities initiatives mature, many of them are discovering that their work in building community consensus for improved health care and other quality-of-life issues can be transformed into public policy. This article shows how Healthy Communities initiatives have had important effects on policy making at both the county and state level in several cities and states.

We observed the effect of the 5-hydroxytryptamine synthesis inhibitor p-chlorophenylalanine on aggression in male firemouth cichlids (Cichlasoma meeki). p-Chlorophenylalanine-treated firemouths showed a significantly greater number of mirror-directed bites as compared with saline-injected controls. This finding is consistent with the effects of this drug on social aggression in mammals and birds and supplements previous reports that 5-hydroxytryptamine inhibits aggression in fish.
