| This panel will consider the relationship of the public to public health historically. At times, the public or different segments of the public-immigrants, the poor, racial and ethnic minorities, groups with particular diseases such as tuberculosis or smallpox-have been at the mercy of public health. At other times, portions of the public have clashed with public health authorities or controlled the public health agenda. In other instances, however, different stakeholders like physicians and elected officials have mediated or advocated on behalf of the public. The papers in this panel raise questions, then, regarding who should appropriately define policy for the community, how has the community inserted itself into or been represented in policy debates, and how has the relationship between the public and public health changed over time and place? | |||
