Laws and policies are critical determinants of health and well-being. They can encourage positive behaviors and discourage harmful behaviors, and they can enhance or worsen health, health equity, health disparities, and health literacy. In this episode of JPHMP Direct TALK, Angela McGowen and Joel Teitelbaum, two of the authors of an article published in the Journal of Public Health Management and Practice, discuss  the roles of law and policy throughout the development of Healthy People 2030.
