Penn, Teresa Wall, John Cleland, James H. Burch, Judith Monroe, Robert E. Ragland, Thurbert Baker & John Casciotti - 2008 - Journal of Law, Medicine and Ethics 36 (S1):36-41.
    A community's abilities to promote health and maximize its response to public health threats require fulfillment of one of the four elements of public health legal preparedness, the capacity to effectively coordinate law-based efforts across different governmental jurisdictions, as well as across multiple sectors and disciplines. Government jurisdictions can be viewed “vertically” in that response efforts may entail coordination in the application of laws across multiple levels, including local, state, tribal, and federal governments, and even with international organizations. Coordination of (...)

    Legal Epidemiology: The Science of Law.Tara Ramanathan, Rachel Hulkower, Joseph Holbrook & Matthew Penn - 2017 - Journal of Law, Medicine and Ethics 45 (s1):69-72.
    The importance of legal epidemiology in public health law research has undoubtedly grown over the last five years. Scholars and practitioners together have developed guidance on best practices for the field, including: placing emphasis on transdisciplinary collaborations; creating valid, reliable, and repeatable research; and publishing timely products for use in decision-making and change. Despite the energy and expertise researchers have brought to this important work, they name significant challenges in marshalling the diverse skill sets, quality controls, and funding to implement (...)

    Emergency Declarations for Public Health Issues: Expanding Our Definition of Emergency.Gregory Sunshine, Nancy Barrera, Aubrey Joy Corcoran & Matthew Penn - 2019 - Journal of Law, Medicine and Ethics 47 (S2):95-99.
    Emergency declarations are a vital legal authority that can activate funds, personnel, and material and change the legal landscape to aid in the response to a public health threat. Traditionally, declarations have been used against immediate and unforeseen threats such as hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires, and pandemic influenza. Recently, however, states have used emergency declarations to address public health issues that have existed in communities for months and years and have risk factors such as poverty and substance misuse. Leaders in these (...)

    Federal Legal Preparedness Tools for Facilitating Medical Countermeasure Use during Public Health Emergencies.Brooke Courtney, Susan Sherman & Matthew Penn - 2013 - Journal of Law, Medicine and Ethics 41 (s1):22-27.
    Law can greatly facilitate responses to public health emergencies, including naturally-occurring infectious disease outbreaks and intentional or accidental exposures to chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear agents. At the federal level, the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, as the lead for federal public health and medical responses to public health emergencies and incidents, has a range of authorities to support federal, state, tribal, local, and territorial responses. For example, under the Public Health Service Act, the Secretary may (...)

    Domestic Legal Preparedness and Response to Ebola.James G. Hodge, Matthew S. Penn, Montrece Ransom & Jane E. Jordan - 2015 - Journal of Law, Medicine and Ethics 43 (S1):15-18.
    While the global threat of Ebola Virus Disease in 2014 was concentrated in several West African countries, its effects have been felt in many developed countries including the United States. Initial, select patients with EVD, largely among American health care workers volunteering in affected regions, were subsequently transported back to the states for isolation and treatment in high-level medical facilities. This included Emory University Hospital, which sits adjacent to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, Georgia.The first (...)

    Building the Legal Capacity of the Public Health Workforce: Introducing the Public Health Law Academy.Montrece McNeill Ransom, Rebecca Johnson, Marice Ashe, Matthew Penn, F. Abigail Ferrell & Kelsey Baffour - 2019 - Journal of Law, Medicine and Ethics 47 (S2):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.
