| This session will explore ethical dilemmas that may arise in forming a public role in setting public health priorities. For example, democratic decisions can arise from representative or directly participatory structures, which may lead to dramatically different results. What are the ethical issues involved in changing public health priorities to meet constantly evolving public wishes? How should these priorities be elicited? Who decides whether the public has made an ill-informed choice, and should such a choice nevertheless guide policy and action? | |||
| Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of the session, participants will be able to: 1) describe a variety of ways in which public priorities and values can be elicited 2) understand ethical dilemmas that may arise as a result of eliciting public values and priorities for public health 3) act to improve public health priority setting activities in local communities | |||
