Exploring the development of three law-based competency models for practitioners
Ransom MM , Yassine B . J Soc Behav Health Sci 2019 13 (1) 128-148 As public health promotion and protection become increasingly complex and integrated into various fields, public health law is emerging as an important tool for public health professionals. To ensure that public health professionals are effectively trained in public health law principles and theories, educators, trainers, and others who develop educational curricula should integrate public health law-related competencies into their training and workforce development efforts. This article provides three competency models developed by the Public Health Law Program at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: (a) the public health emergency law competency model, (b) the public health law competency model, and (c) the legal epidemiology competency model. These competency models provide a foundation upon which public health law curricula can be developed for governmental, nongovernmental, and academic public health practitioners. Such standardization of public health law curricula will ameliorate not only the training, but also selection and evaluation of public health practitioners, as well as better align public health training with national public health efforts. |

Ransom MM , Johnson R , Ashe M , Penn M , Ferrell FA , Baffour K . J Law Med Ethics 2019 47 80-82 Knowledge of the law and its impact on health outcomes is increasingly important in public health practice. The CDC's Public Health Law Academy helps satisfy this need by providing online trainings, facilitator toolkits, and legal epidemiology tools to aid practitioners in learning about the law's role in promoting public health. |
Ebola: A public health and legal perspective
Markey M , Ransom MM , Sunshine G . Mich State Int Law Rev 2016 24 (2) 433-447 The 2014 Ebola epidemic is the largest epidemic of Ebola virus disease in history, with current widespread transmission in three countries in West Africa: Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone.2 As of this writing, there have been four confirmed cases of Ebola in the United States.3 Public health and healthcare lawyers are addressing complicated legal issues, including concerns related to states’ authority to quarantine individuals who are infected with or have been exposed to Ebola, along with issues related to the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act, the privacy and security of information, and vaccine liability. |
Pursuing health equity: zoning codes and public health
Ransom MM , Greiner A , Kochtitzky C , Major KS . J Law Med Ethics 2011 39 Suppl 1 94-7 Health equity can be defined as the absence of disadvantage to individuals and communities in health outcomes, access to health care, and quality of health care regardless of one’s race, gender, nationality, age, ethnicity, religion, and socioeconomic status. Health equity concerns those disparities in public health that can be traced to unequal, systemic economic, and social conditions. Despite significant improvements in the health of the overall population, health inequities in America persist. Racial and ethnic minorities continue to experience higher rates of morbidity and mortality than non-minorities across a range of health issues. For example, African-American children with asthma have a seven times greater mortality rate than Non-Hispanic white children with the illness. While cancer is the second leading cause of death among all populations in the U.S., ethnic minorities are especially burdened with the disease. |
