Beneath the Sword of Damocles
Since the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs vs. Jackson Women's Health Organization, a growing web of state laws restricts access to abortion. Here we consider how, ethically, doctors should respond when terminating a pregnancy is clinically indicated but state law imposes restrictions on doing so. We offer a typology of cases in which the dilemma emerges and a brief sketch of the current state of legal prohibitions against providing such ca…

Vaccine Misinformation and the First Amendment—The Price of Free Speech
Resuscitating Abortion Rights in Emergency Care
officials from the US Department of Health and Human Services warned state governors that the Biden administration would initiate legal action against states that bar physicians from providing abortion care in emergency situations. As reports mount of pregnant patients being denied potentially lifesaving care in emergency departments, the warning escalates a pitched battle over whether the administration can blunt the sharpest edges of Roe v Wade…
Protecting the Privacy of Reproductive Health Information After the Fall of Roe v Wade
The Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs v Jackson's Women's Health Organization, eliminating federal protection for abortion rights recognized since 1973 in Roe v Wade, will trigger the adoption and enforcement of numerous state laws banning or restricting abortion. The most pressing concerns for physicians and health care facilities are how to minimize these laws' adverse effects on patients and provide quality reproductive health care within lega…
Population health science as a unifying foundation for translational clinical and public health research
Separated both in academics and practice since the Rockefeller Foundation effort to “liberate” public health from perceived subservience to clinical medicine a century ago, research in public health and clinical medicine have evolved separately. Today, translational research in population health science offers a means of fostering their convergence, with potentially great benefit to both domains. Although evidence that the two fields need not and…
The Political and Judicial Battles Over Mask Mandates for Schools
If there is one image that encapsulates the bitter clashes over COVID-19 policy in the US, it is surely the face mask.1,2 Schools have become ground zero in ongoing battles over whether the US public must mask up

Incorporating Health Equity Into Covid-19 Reopening Plans
California has focused on health equity in the state’s COVID-19 reopening plan. The Blueprint for a Safer Economy assigns each of California’s 58 counties into 1 of 4 tiers based on 2 metrics: test positivity rate and adjusted case rate. To advance to the next less-restrictive tier, counties must meet that tier’s test positivity and adjusted case rate thresholds. In addition, counties must have a plan for targeted investments within disadvantaged…

School Reopenings and the Community During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Few issues in the policy response to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic have inspired as impassioned debate as school reopening. There is broad agreement that school closures involve heavy burdens on students, parents, and the economy, with profound equity implications, but also that the risk of outbreaks cannot be eliminated even in a partial reopening scenario with in-school precautions. Consensus largely ends there, however: the …
Association of Federal Mental Health Parity Legislation With Health Care Use and Spending Among High Utilizers of Services
BACKGROUND: Decades-long efforts to require parity between behavioral and physical health insurance coverage culminated in the comprehensive federal Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act. OBJECTIVES: To determine the association between federal parity and changes in mental health care utilization and spending, particularly among high utilizers. RESEARCH DESIGN: Difference-in-differences analyses compared changes before and after exposure …
Sociodemographic Predictors of Vaccination Exemptions on the Basis of Personal Belief in California
Objectives. We examined the variability in the percentage of students with personal belief exemptions (PBEs) from mandatory vaccinations in California schools and communities according to income, education, race, and school characteristics. Methods. We used spatial lag models to analyze 2007–2013 PBE data from the California Department of Public Health. The analyses included school- and regional-level models, and separately examined the percentag…
Making the Case for Health-Enhancing Laws after Bloomberg
The last of five commentaries on “Bloomberg's Health Legacy: Urban Innovator or Meddling Nanny?” from the September-October 2013
Critical Opportunities for Public Health Law
Although legal interventions are responsible for many sentinel public health achievements, law is underutilized as a tool for advancing population health. Our purpose was to identify critical opportunities for public health lawmaking. We articulated key criteria and illustrated their use with 5 examples. These opportunities involve significant health problems that are potentially amenable to change through law and for which an effective legal int…
Pharmaceutical Companies’ Role in State Vaccination Policymaking
Objectives. We sought to investigate roles that Merck & Co Inc played in state human papillomavirus (HPV) immunization policymaking, to elicit key stakeholders’ perceptions of the appropriateness of these activities, and to explore implications for relationships between health policymakers and industry. Methods. We used a series of state case studies combining data from key informant interviews with analysis of media reports and archival material…
The Havasupai Indian Tribe Case — Lessons for Research Involving Stored Biologic Samples
On April 20, 2010, Arizona State University (ASU) agreed to pay $700,000 to 41 members of the Havasupai Indian tribe to settle legal claims that university researchers improperly used tribe members' blood samples in genetic research.1 The settlement closes a difficult chapter for both parties but leaves open a bedeviling question for genetic research: What constitutes adequate informed consent for biospecimens collected for research to be stored …
Spillover Effects of State Mandated Benefit Laws
This paper examines the "spillover effects" of state laws that mandate inpatient coverage for breast cancer surgery. It looks at outpatient utilization of two types of breast cancer surgery among Medicare fee-for-service patients, who are exempt from state regulation. Using data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results cancer registries and Medicare claims, we performed difference-in-differences analyses of patients in nine states from…

The Interplay of Public Health Law and Industry Self-Regulation
It is increasingly recognized that sugar-sweetened beverage consumption contributes to childhood obesity. Most states have adopted laws that regulate the availability of sugar-sweetened beverages in school settings. However, such policies have encountered resistance from consumer and parent groups, as well as the beverage industry. The beverage industry’s recent adoption of voluntary guidelines, which call for the curtailment of sugar-sweetened b…

Relationship Between Malpractice Litigation Pressure and Rates of Cesarean Section and Vaginal Birth After Cesarean Section
BACKGROUND: Since the 1990s, nationwide rates of vaginal birth after cesarean section (VBAC) have decreased sharply and rates of cesarean section have increased sharply. Both trends are consistent with clinical behavior aimed at reducing obstetricians' exposure to malpractice litigation. OBJECTIVE: To estimate the effects of malpractice pressure on rates of VBAC and cesarean section. RESEARCH DESIGN, SUBJECTS, MEASURES: We used state-level longit…
