The sixth of the Dean’s Seminars on Chronic Disease, “Politics, Policies, Law and Chronic Disease: Opportunities for Contributions from Public Health,” featured two outstanding speakers: Derek Yach, MBChB, MPH, a leading analyst of international healthcare policy who has joined in defining grand challenges of chronic non-communicable diseases and avenues to reducing chronic disease prevalence through public and private sector efforts; and Michael S. Sparer, PhD, JD, chair of the Department of Health Policy and Management here at the Mailman School of Public Health and a trenchant commentator on Medicaid politics and policy, including reform efforts, intergovernmental partnerships, and the politics of incrementalism, among many others.

The seminar examined the natural history of good ideas in public health—the way that new formulations of opportunities in chronic disease prevention must traverse complex and vulnerable pathways from newly perceived opportunities to formulation and application of health policy; and through the political process and into law, often in significantly altered form. A key challenge for public health, particularly for academic public health, lies in informing the process and protecting the influence of facts, as well as dispassionate reasoning.
