Academic Advocacy
Medical school faculty and their colleagues in schools of nursing, public health, social work, and elsewhere often research issues of critical importance to health and science policy. When academics engage with government policymakers to advocate for change based on their research, however, they may find themselves engaged in “lobbying,” thereby entering a complex environment of legal requirements and institutional policies that they may not full…
Mandatory Bicycle Helmet Laws in the United States
This article examines the origins and context of mandatory bicycle helmet laws in the United States. Localities began to enact such laws in the early 1990s, having experimented with helmet laws for motorcycles previously. As cycling became increasingly popular in the 1970s and 1980s because of a variety of historical trends, from improved cycle technology to growing environmental consciousness, cycling-related injuries also increased. Bicycle saf…
Expanded access
The problem of therapeutic use of unauthorised (investigational) drugs, always controversial, over recent years has become a topic of a particularly heated public debate. Most often referred to as expanded access (EA) or compassionate use, such treatment is usually performed in patients with serious including life-threatening diseases who cannot be treated satisfactorily with authorised drugs.1 Remarkably, EA, originally introduced with a view to…

Bikes, Helmets, and Public Health
How ought public officials address policy choices that entail trade-offs between desirable public health goods? Increasing cycling improves public health both by promoting physical activity and by decreasing vehicle use, thus reducing vehicular emissions. Proponents of bicycle helmets argue that, used properly, they protect individual cyclists; however, there is concern that mandating helmet use may result in a decrease in cycling. In 2012, New Y…
Medical Examination of Immigrants at Ellis Island
SARS, avian flu, bioterrorism: such threats to national security at the dawn of the 21st century have renewed anxieties about controlling disease at the nation's borders.Control of infectious agents also provided the impetus for immigrant medical inspections along the U.S. coasts in the late 19th century, but, in practice, it was the weeding out of chronic disease and disability that actually motivated public health officers on "the line" at Elli…
