The text builds upon the understanding that law is a significant determinant of health while highlighting essential knowledge of legal issues and laws affecting public health outcomes. Chapters address major topics in United States public health law and take a competency-based approach influenced by models developed by the CDC's Public Health Law Program. The book describes the most important and relevant considerations of the law through case studies and real-world examples that students and practitioners of public health need as a baseline in order to mitigate health inequities and public health threats. Written with a basis in health equity, chapters also include call-out boxes to appropriate health equity related principles and theories.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book's three parts explore law as a foundation for public health practice, law in everyday practice, and law as a transdisciplinary public health tool. It addresses key legal concepts such as the sources of authority in the United States legal system, constitutional foundations, limitations of authority, regulation, and litigation as they relate to public health. The most prevalent public health law topics and national public health strategies are covered in clear prose and offer guidance on the law and legal issues related to immunization, infectious disease control, chronic disease prevention and management, unintentional and intentional injury prevention, emergency law, global public health, environmental law, LGBT populations and the law, women's reproductive health topics and more. Hypothetical case studies throughout illustrate how law impacts public health practice across a variety of settings and populations. Content on the transdisciplinary nature of public health practice spans topics such as law as a social determinant of health, the Health in All Policies initiative, legal epidemiology, law and ethics, and the scope of public health decision-making.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInsightful and practical in its approach, \u003cem\u003ePublic Health Law: Concepts and Case Studies\u003c\/em\u003e provides students and public health practitioners alike with knowledge and tools for utilizing the law to advance public health goals in the communities they serve.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cli\u003eIncludes practical, real-world case studies illustrating the intersection of law and public health in many different contexts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Highlights health equity and social justice issues relevant to chapter topics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplains legal frameworks and challenging legal concepts in easy to read prose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighlights relevant legal issues and considerations during the COVID-19 pandemic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes access to the fully downloadable eBook as well as instructor ancillary materials such as Instructor's Manual, PowerPoints, and Test Bank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Montrece McNeill Ransom\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0826182038\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780826182036\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer Publishing Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/17\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.78d","brand":"Montrece McNeill Ransom","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43987550863615,"sku":"9780826182036","price":83.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c5424b95-f067-44a8-8f29-2ac4d5723a7f.jpg?v=1683289660","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/public-health-law-montrece-mcneill-ransom-9780826182036","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
