4214.0 Applying Ethical Inquiry: Prioritizing Resources

Tuesday, October 30, 2012: 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM
Oral
Prioritzing resources is a critical domain of ethical concern in public health. Session 4214.0 presents new information from research with state public health agencies regarding ethical approaches to allocating resources, describes how public deliberation may become a means for engaging the public regarding ethical decisionmaking about public health policy and priorities, and explores two exemplary situations that challenge ethical decisionmaking for allocating public health resources: 'incurable' illness, and community-wide disaster.
Session Objectives: Discuss several approaches that inform allocation of limited public health resources, framed within the discourse of public health ethical theory and application of theory to particular cases of concern to public health.
