Changing
laws and policies can have a significant impact on the overall health of the
public. Many times policies are
changed at the federal and state level. Sometimes
local governments, school districts, and institutions can make small changes in
local policies with a big impact in health.
Health promotion efforts are often enhanced by supportive policies.
