Public health interventions boast an impressive ROI ranging from $14:1 to $40:1, making it a sector with substantial social and environmental impact. Despite this, businesses and investors seem hesitant to partner with us. The reasons behind this hesitancy are multifaceted. Perhaps it's time for a paradigm shift in the approach governmental public health takes towards creating healthier communities. #PublicHealth #HealthierCommunities #ROI #SocialImpact #EnvironmentalImpact

Did you know? About 72% of the state’s housing stock in CT was built before 1980. As a result, a large proportion of residents experience housing-related health issues like exposure to lead paint and worsening asthma symptoms.* - When you pursue a MPH, you can help solve this issue. Public policy and law are areas that significantly impact the public health field. Government officials and policy analysts can design programs that increase access to healthcare for the general population, address health disparities, and change the organization of communities to improve health. Public health workers involved in the law can use existing regulations to protect underrepresented groups or advocate for the protection of the environment.

Barber Professor of Jurisprudence, University of Birmingham; Director of Research and Knowledge Transfer, University of Birmingham College of Arts and Law; Honorary Professor, The Australian National University
Earlier this week we launched the Final Report of the Independent Commission on UK Public Health Emergency Powers, on which I was honoured to be a Commissioner. After a year and a half of work, and having received written and oral evidence from dozens of jurisdictions and experts, we have made a number of key recommendations. In particular, we recommend the introduction of a new legislative framework for public health emergencies that ensures more robust parliamentary scrutiny than the current framework allows. We outline clear principles to achieve this and reflect on how parliamentary processes might be adapted to ensure effective oversight. We anticipate the need for bespoke emergency legislation to respond to the particularities of specific public health conditions. We demonstrate how parliamentary processes can be adapted to maximise effective oversight and scrutiny, and we also consider important Rule of Law concerns around legal certainty and enforcement. This work was supported by Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) and enabled by The Bingham Centre for the Rule of Law. The full report is available to read here. https://lnkd.in/eT4GUGsD
