Abstract:
"The Role of Law and Policy in Achieving Health Equity is a comprehensive exploration of how legal and policy frameworks shape the health outcomes of marginalized populations, especially racial minorities. The primary goal is to raise awareness and enhance understating on the role of law and policy in achieving health equity. Informed by research indicating that health is determined 20% by healthcare, 30% by health behaviors, 40% by social and economic factors, and 10% by the physical environment, the book breaks down these factors, demonstrating how law and policy can be used to promote health equity. It is a groundbreaking book specifically tailored for the educated non-legal audiences keen on understanding the critical aspects of health equity law and policy"-- Provided by publisher.
