Equity Through Public Health Law

Health equity is determined by fair access to resources and comparable health outcomes between individuals but is shaped by larger social and political systems. In this webinar, CDC’s Public Health Law Program and the National Leadership Academy for the Public’s Health (NLAPH) examine the foundations of public health law and its relationship to public health equity. Speakers will discuss the scope of laws that impact social determinants of health in a community, covering topics such as:regulations for safe food, clean water, healthy housing conditions, pharmaceuticals and chemicals, occupational safety and health, and medical practice. 

Participants will engage with the speakers, learn to recognize key principles and procedural rules when exercising public health powers, and gain deeper familiarity with the major laws that shape our health systems.
