A mix of academic, clinical and public health practice partners will come together in an interactive and applied discussion on the process of developing policy. On the second day, participants will discover how it’s really done — “how the sausage is made” — by local and state policy makers and advocates.
Guest faculty on the first day are Carolyn Crump, Ph.D., research associate professor, health behavior, and James Emery, research associate in health behavior, both with the University of North Carolina Gillings School of Global Public Health, Chapel Hill. Dr. Crump and Emery helped to develop Healthy Solutions for the 21st Century — a service-oriented team at the UNC School of Public Health. The team helps agencies, foundations, organizations and community groups address public health challenges through population-based prevention and social equity strategies.
