State public health laws: an expression of constituency expectations
1Center for Health Policy and Health Services Research, Columbia University, Columbia School of Nursing, New York, New York, USA.
Abstract:
One expression by the body politic about public health in any jurisdiction is the law under which the public health agency practices. The degree of congruence between a widely used model of public health and current statutes can be a measure of that opinion. This study identified the extent to which the statements of purpose expressed in state laws are consistent with Public Health in America (PHA); the published mission statements of state health agencies are consistent with either statute or PHA; and which concepts from PHA are most underrepresented and what additional concepts are included.
