Public
Health Code of Ethics 
In 2000, a diverse group of public health professionals was convened
to draft a code of ethics to guide the practice of public health.
A year later, the code was reviewed by ethicists and practitioners
before being posted on the American Public Health Association web
site for review and comment by the public health community at large.
The most recent version of the code is now available on the APHA web
site, although further review and revision is anticipated. The rationale
and background to the code is also available. |

Daniels, Bruce Kennedy, and Ichiro Kawachi in chapter 3 of the Reader.
