HA-AOP-2023_enewsletter-1 ([link removed] )
In their Ahead of Print article, Michelle Mello of Stanford University and coauthors assess how public health legal powers have become increasingly constrained ([link removed] ) during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Using federal and state court decisions between March 2020 and March 2023, the authors determine that legal challenges made against public health officials indicated deference to religion, destabilized vaccination law, and strong pushback against agency discretion.
Mello and coauthors conclude that “courts often disrupted long-held assumptions about the scope of public health powers.”

In a Health Policy Brief released this month, Amy Sheon and Elaine Khoong write about the linkages between digital inclusion and health equity ([link removed] ) .
Digital inclusion determines access to health care services and jobs and shapes educational attainment.
Digital inclusion also overlaps with structural disparities. Evidence suggests that “neighborhood internet subscription rates vary by historic redlining status,” and that financial barriers shape digital exclusion.
Khoong and Sheon outline four pillars of digital inclusion, including “available, affordable high-speed internet service; devices; digital skills and training; and applications, online content, and technical support.”
The researchers call for increased investments in broadband infrastructure and the development of digital policy that includes the health sector.
