This innovative casebook explores and integrates the legal and
policy aspects of health care financing/delivery, and of public
health. In a readily teachable format, the casebook delivers a
critical analysis of the design and governance of the American
health care and public health systems. The casebook provides
comprehensive coverage of the organization, financing, and delivery
of the individual health care and population/public health systems.
It also explores the deep interconnections between these two
systems and the critical role of the Affordable Care Act in shaping
future legal oversight. The book thus challenges students to think
about how the legal doctrine governing both systems has developed
over time, and how it should evolve going forward. It represents
the most up-to-date and systematic coverage of the health system in
the new era of the Affordable Care Act and does so in a highly
accessible and engaging pedagogic style.
Every year, more than 400,000 Americans die prematurely because of
tobacco use. Most began smoking during their teen years. Adolescent
tobacco use remains our nation's most preventable threat to life
and health. This public health crisis has generated widespread
debate over how best to prevent young people from initiating
smoking or using other tobacco products. "Combating Teen Smoking"
is an invaluable guide for policymakers and communities on the
front lines of this prevention effort.
Synthesizing recent research regarding the prevention and control
of adolescent smoking, this book offers the reader a convenient
compendium of what is known about adolescents and tobacco use; it
also highlights areas where additional research is needed. Based on
their assessment of the considerable amount of information
presented, the authors recommend various ways to help slow--or even
reverse--the recent rise in teenage smoking. A comprehensive
antitobacco program might include, for example, antismoking media
campaigns based on social marketing strategies, clean indoor air
laws, and the increase of cigarette prices.
"Combating Teen Smoking" will appeal to a broad spectrum of readers
concerned about the problem of adolescent tobacco use, including
policymakers who are actively seeking ways to help reduce teen
smoking.
