Relevance of research. Medical care providing for bronchopulmonary dysplasia is an urgent problem of modern medicine. Currently, there is a need to develop a model of medical care for children with bronchopulmonary dysplasia with a high risk of dysplastic pathology of the bronchopulmonary system. The relevance of such a model is due to the existing socio-medical significance of the problem of health. The purpose of the study: to develop a set of regulatory and legal support for the structural and functional model of medical care for children with bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Materials and methods of research. The analysis of scientific sources and practical management questions is carried out, the directions of the further research are chosen. The following methods are used: system approach, bibliosemantic, epidemiological and statistical. Results and discussion. The article examines various scientific sources and discusses the results of management decisions in medical institutions. The draft laws discussed in the publication offer tools for formulating and implementing public health policy. This model of the system of medical care for children with bronchopulmonary dysplasia has such distinctive features as systemic and personalized approach with the integration of efforts of specialists of related profiles, as well as cost-effectiveness, as the resource base is effectively used in the medical system. Conclusions. The author clarifies the powers of the subjects of public health policy, details the requirements for monitoring the implementation of public health policy, the procedure for conducting and evaluating effectiveness. In order to improve the legal framework, the article presents the directions of implementation of draft laws prepared during 2013–2016. The terminological apparatus, which is harmonized with international standards, has been supplemented. Prospects for further research. Further research should focus on the socio-medical effectiveness of the legislative and regulatory support of the components of the structural-functional model, which are related to assessing their impact on the implementation of health technologies at the regional, local community and family levels.

This chapter explores the use of digital health technologies in health promotion endeavors. This “digitized health promotion” is the latest stage in the trajectory of health promotion ideology and practice over the past four decades in wealthy Anglophone nations. Lupton argues that over this period the individualistic approach to good health commonly espoused in medicine and public health was challenged by advocates arguing for a greater focus on social justice and social epidemiology. The individualistic approach to health promotion never disappeared, however, and has gathered momentum in the current economic, political, and technological climate. While many health promotion workers still champion the ideals of “health for all,” public health policy in the context of digitized health promotion has begun to return to emphasizing personal responsibility for health.

This chapter explores the powers of Congress to pass federal public health laws and to delegate authority to federal agencies. The chapter starts with an explanation of Congress’s limited, enumerated powers and how this limits Congress to certain arenas of authority. It next explores the evolution Congress’s use of the Commerce Clause to pass public health laws, before exploring Congress’s use of the Taxing and Spending Clause. The chapter provides examples of how Congress has used both the Commerce Clause and its taxing and spending power to effectuate public health policy. Next, the chapter explains the National Federation of Independent Businesses v. Sebelius case; it details challenges to the Affordable Care Act’s individual mandate and Medicaid and explains the implications of the Supreme Court’s holdings. Lastly, the chapter explains Congress’s authority to delegate authority to federal administrative agencies to issue and enforce public health regulations.

This chapter draws on medical, social, and legal perspectives to identify and highlight ethical issues pertaining to the treatment, representation, and inclusion of persons with disabilities in public health policy and practice. A brief history of disability in the United States is provided as a context for examining the key ethical issues related to public health policy and practice. Conceptual frameworks and approaches to disability are then described and applied. The chapter then discusses the imperativeness of expanding access to public health programs by persons with disabilities, the need to address implicit and structural biases, and the importance of including persons with disabilities in public health decision-making.

Television (TV) news, and especially local TV news, remains an important vehicle through which Americans obtain information about health-related topics. In this review, we synthesize theory and evidence on four main functions of TV news in shaping public health policy and practice: reporting events and information to the public (surveillance); providing the context for and meaning surrounding health issues (interpretation); cultivating community values, beliefs, and norms (socialization); and attracting and maintaining public attention for advertisers (attention merchant). We also identify challenges for TV news as a vehicle for improving public health, including declining audiences, industry changes such as station consolidation, increasingly politicized content, potential spread of misinformation, and lack of attention to inequity. We offer recommendations for public health practitioners and researchers to leverage TV news to improve public health and advance health equity.
