Abstract:
Cities are important laboratories for cross-sectoral collaboration and advancing equity. CityHealth, a project of the de Beaumont Foundation and Kaiser Permanente, used legal epidemiology to identify, score, and promote nine city-level policies important to population health in the 40 largest US cities from 2017 to 2021. The project supported 86 policy changes over five years. These results demonstrate possibilities for encouraging passage of city-level health-enhancing policies and the need to move beyond scoring and ranking to direct policy advocacy.
