- Class Description:
- Public health policy is often the product of controversy. Scientific considerations blend with political and ethical conflicts in public health. Questions of autonomy, liberty, individual rights, power, coercion, justice, discrimination, stigma, community and the common good are central to public health policy and practice and are therefore the basis for the core ethical challenges in public health. This seven-week course will introduce students to public health ethics, with a focus on two central ethical tensions shaping public health policy and practice: (1) allocating resources, and (2) balancing individual and community concerns. In discussing these tensions, we will attend to the important ethical issues of justice and health inequalities. Recognizing that public health graduates will be engaged in policy and practice, the course begins by exploring the ethics of priority setting at both the macro (policy) and micro (practice) levels. The second half of the course will discuss the balancing of individual and community interests as reflected in public health screening, prevention, and health promotion programs, and we will maintain the macro (policy) and micro (practice) distinction previously introduced. The course is designed to flexibly accommodate current pressing topics in public health practice and policy, such as health care reform, obesity, pandemic flu, and other emergent issues. While the focus of this course is on domestic issues in practice and policy, the frameworks and ethical concepts discussed can be applied to international issues, and students may choose an international topic to examine for the concluding course exercise.
