The Public Health Advocacy Institute (PHAI) and Public Health Law & Policy (PHLP) are sponsoring the Fifth Conference on Public Health, Law, & Obesity, Sept. 19-21, 2008, at Northeastern University School of Law, Boston, MA.
Advocates, public health practitioners, legal scholars, researchers, and policy makers are invited to come together to discuss the current legal approaches to the obesity epidemic. The conference will help stakeholders collaborate in developing a public health legal strategy with a foundation in environmental change that empowers communities and populations to tackle the public health implications of a broken food system and built environment.
