Summary

Public health practice subsumes epidemiology, medicine, law, biostatistics, microbiology, environmental studies and many other disciplines, all in the context of governmental practices and politics. Continually changing health threats, technologies, science, and demographics require public health professionals to have an understanding of law sufficient to address complex new problems. Law in Public Health is designed to meet the need of public health practitioners, lawyers, health-care providers, law and public health educators and students. The book is written jointly by experts in law and in public health. The first eleven chapters give a thorough review of the legal basis and authorities for core elements of public health practice. The remaining nine chapters focus on high-priority as well as emerging areas of law and public health, including genomics, communicable diseases, public health emergencies, reproductive health, tobacco prevention, and environmental, injury, and occupational issues.
