Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

How does law shape public-health action, and how can its effects on populations be studied?Public Health Law and Legal Epidemiology examines the legal foundations of collective health action together with the methods used to study law as a public-health intervention. The volume distinguishes legal authority, implementation, enforcement, exposure, and population outcomes, emphasizing that these stages should not be treated as equivalent.Across fifteen chapters, the book addresses public-health powers, emergency law, rights and proportionality, health-data governance, the right to health, regulation and licensing, liability, informed consent, environmental and occupational law, intellectual property, patient rights, oversight, and comparative and international health law. It also develops legal epidemiology as a framework for measuring how laws operate in practice and evaluating their intended and unintended effects.Written for advanced students, researchers, public-health professionals, policy analysts, and legal practitioners, the book provides a structured approach to understanding the relationship between law, institutions, evidence, and population health.
