Abstract:
In an effort to contain the spread of COVID-19, many states and countries have adopted public health restrictions on activities previously considered commonplace: crossing state borders, eating indoors, gathering together, and even leaving one’s home. These policies often focus on specific activities or groups, rather than imposing the same limits across the board. In this Article, I consider the law and ethics of these policies, which I call tailored policies.In Part II, I identify two types of tailored policies: activity-based and group-based. Activity-based restrictions respond to differenc

Abstract:
This research is a contribution to the analysis, measurement and explanation of accountability for public policies. Firstly, I develop a proposal to analyze and measure accountability for public policies. This proposal is innovative since it provides an analytical framework that can be used to measure and compare levels of accountability in different kinds of policies (e.g., health, education, pensions, etc.) or in different contexts (from countries or regions to complex multi-layered authority structures). Secondly, I test the validity of my proposal with an empirical application centered in

Abstract:
Breastfeeding rates vary considerably among high-income countries who are members of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). In the 1960's, breastfeeding outcomes, both initiation of breastfeeding and breastfeeding duration, were at an all-time low. Over the past half century, breastfeeding outcomes have increased among all OECD countries, but at very different rates. This dissertation examines both the policy-level and public health-level initiatives that have affected the differential growth of breastfeeding rates among 18 high-income, OECD countries.

Abstract:
It is well established that sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) are associated with obesity and chronic diseases. Although there is some emerging evidence that consumption of added sugars is declining in the United States, on average Americans’ consumption still exceeds recommended levels. Consequently, it is imperative that researchers continue to delve further into the question of exactly how SSBs influence obesity and associated chronic diseases, as well as consider creative and novel strategies for reducing their impact on consumers’ health.

In recent years, outbreaks of measles on college campuses across the United States have led to the implementation of immunization requirements.
