16 Why Take a By Law Approach? To change the built environment to facilitate healthy behaviours and create conditions for health 9 To address policies and actions outside the health sector that can affect the health of the population 10 16
17 Why Take a By Law Approach? To address health inequities and social determinants of health Health inequities: Differences in health status of individuals and groups that are thought to be unfair or modifiable 11 Social determinants of health: The social and economic factors that shape the health and incidence of illness among individuals and groups 12 17
18 Historical Overview13, 14, 15 Public health has its roots in: Urbanization Sanitary reform Environmental law Housing Zoning 18
19 There are three forms: Public Health Law Research16, Interventional public health law: Explicit aim of protecting and improving public health. 2. Incidental public health law: Primarily for purposes other than promoting public health, but nonetheless has positive or negative consequences for health. 3. Infrastructural law: Establishes the powers, duties, and features of public health agencies. 19
20 By law Examples Topics Focus Refreshment vehicles Parkland dedication Sidewalk/snow removal Healthy eating Physical activity Injury prevention Chronic Disease and Injury Prevention Smoke free apartments Healthy pregnancies and child development Tobacco prevention Family Health Chronic Disease Prevention Idling control Health hazard prevention Environmental Health Harm reduction Infectious diseases Communicable Diseases Emergency Planning and Response Emergency preparedness Emergency preparedness Transit Taxi Equitable access to community services Social Determinants of Health 20
21 Example of Zoning By laws to Promote Health 18 To guide land use patterns and densities towards a more compact and intensified built form to encourage active transportation and public transit (p. 7) Related to off street parking to create more compact physical form for the community (p. 8) That requires a minimum number of bicycle parking spaces at retail, institutional, employment, educational and residential centres (p. 13) That would restrict the location and number of fast food outlets in new developments surrounding youth and child oriented land uses (p. 38) 21
22 Resources on Public Health Law Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 19 Systematic Review of the Effectiveness of 52 Public Health Laws Published from 1994 to May Public Health Journal 2006 Vol. 120 Supplement
23 Consider the following: There are challenges related to encouraging by law development: Endorsement of a Nanny State 22 Citizens may not support their enactment Unequal protection of different rights Steep learning curve It takes a long time 23
