Public
Health Law Case Studies
|
|
From 1999-2001, Professors Lawrence O. Gostin
and James G. Hodge, Jr. conducted several state public health law
case studies at the request of state public health authorities with
funding through Turning
Point: Collaborating for a New Century in Public Health, a joint
initiative sponsored by the Robert Wood Johnson and W.K. Kellogg
Foundations
These case study reports assess and review
the laws supporting the public health system in each of the states
below for the purpose of making recommendations on reforming state
public health law and improving relationships among public health
actors at the federal, state, local, and tribal levels of government.
