Core Projects

Since its inception, the Centers and its personnel have collaborated with CDC and others on an array of core projects, including multiple assessments in public health law, ethics, and policy. These comprehensive projects examine the intersection of legal, social, and public health issues on selected public health law topics. In addition to dissemination through the Centers‘ website, project results may also be published through articles in legal, medical, and public health journals, or featured in major presentations.
