American Journal of Public Health

On behalf of AJPH, the editors and Board want to express our deep sorrow and offer our sincere condolences to the victims, survivors, families, friends, and communities affected by the tragedy at the Pulse nightclub. This heartbreaking event has impacted various communities, including those who identify as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer, as well as Latino, Immigrant, and Muslim groups, all of whom already face social and health challenges. Many of the victims were young adults from diverse economic backgrounds. We extend our sympathies to everyone affected and strongly denounce violence against individuals based on their gender identity and sexual orientation, as well as any other forms of violence tied to discrimination based on race, ethnicity, immigration status, or religion, including Islam.

Nov 6, 2024 | ajph.aphapublications.org | Wendy E. Parmet

Despite law’s importance to public health, until relatively recently, researchers seldom studied law’s impact on health with the same scientific rigor they apply to other phenomena that affect health. Laws are the means through which many public health policies are effectuated or undermined. Statutes, ordinances, and regulations, issued by governments at all levels, can codify or preclude health policies, such as those established by the Affordable Care Act.
