Rethinking the Meaning of Public Health
Mark A. Rothstein University of Louisville - Institute for Bioethics, Health Policy, and Law; University of Louisville - Louis D. Brandeis School of Law Journal of Law, Medicine & Ethics, Vol. 30, No. 2, 2002 Abstract: Broad definitions of public health, including all societal factors that affect health, may undermine efforts to deal with traditional public health issues. A narrower and more practical definition involves public officials taking appropriate measures, pursuant to legal authority, after balancing public rights and private interests to protect the health of the public.
