Public Health Law Research (PHLR)

Public Health Law Research (PHLR) examines how laws and legal policies impact public health outcomes. It focuses on understanding the effectiveness of laws in promoting health, preventing disease, and addressing health disparities within communities. By analyzing different legal strategies—such as regulations on tobacco use or access to healthcare—PHLR aims to provide evidence that informs policymakers, helping them create laws that improve population health. Ultimately, it bridges the gap between legal frameworks and public health practice, ensuring that legal decisions contribute positively to the well-being of individuals and communities.
