Teaching Population Health Outcomes Research, Advocacy, and the Population Health Perspective in Public Health Law

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 January 2021

Abstract

The goal of this project was to expand an existing public health law curriculum to incorporate lessons on population health outcomes research, extra-legal advocacy, and the population health perspective. The project also created opportunities for students not only to read about and discuss concepts, but also to employ the lessons more practically through exercises and by writing white papers on public health law reform topics relevant to population health in Missouri. To do this, the project expanded an existing didactic course and created a new credit-bearing, experiential “Lab.”
