Welcome
Public Health Law & Policy (PHLP) partners with advocates and decision-makers to help create healthier communities. We provide in-depth research and analysis on legal and policy questions, and translate complex information into practical tools such as fact sheets, toolkits, and model policies.
PHLP works to help build the capacity of advocates, local public health and planning departments, schools, government attorneys, elected officials, and others to advance their public health goals through policy change -- for example, by limiting "junk food" marketing aimed at children, protecting people from secondhand smoke, or making healthy foods and physical activity more accessible.
Contact us regarding any public health issue to find out whether our staff can help advance your policy goals.

While Public Health Law & Policy (PHLP) and its projects make every effort to ensure that the information is accurate and complete, you should consult an attorney before acting on the basis of information on this website. Please note that while PHLP staff can answer certain questions via e-mail or telephone, PHLP does not provide legal advice or enter into attorney-client relationships.
