What is Public Health and Law about?

## Abstract This chapter introduces and defines basic concepts used throughout the book and within the fields of public health and law. The chapter explores the focus on population-level data, rather than individual-level information, as public health’s primary lens. It defines health disparities, the social determinants of health, and the three levels of prevention to exemplify public health’s broad perspective, which looks beyond healthcare to more systemic causes of illness and disease. It also defines law and its role in shaping behaviors and environments at all levels—federal, state, local, tribal, and international—and introduces examples of how law may be used to impact the public’s health.
