Course Description:
In this course, we will examine the importance of public health interventions
rooted in law and learn how the law can be used to address public health
problems. A key aspect of public health law is the role of the government in
addressing public health problems. Our public health challenges include the
role of law in improving the health of communities including supports for
physical activity and healthy living, the distribution and consumption of
healthy foods and medicine, access to transportation, the establishment of
policy guidelines for safe and affordable housing, environmental health and
safety, public health responses to emergencies and natural disasters, harm
reduction and social inequities in health. |
