    (Network for Public Health Law, 2022-12) Hoss, Aila; Murphy, Stephen; Sanchez, Emely; Waggoner, Carrie
    This handbook addresses the role of law in collecting and disseminating public health data disaggregated by race and ethnicity for public health practitioners and attorneys across state, Tribal, and local governments. It is intended to assist practitioners and attorneys with framing and navigating the various legal and non-legal issues around disaggregated public health data. Data disaggregation is the breakdown and categorization of large sets of data by certain data elements, such as race and ethnicity.

    Innovations in Opioid Law and Policy Interventions Workshop: Summary of Proceedings
    (Indiana University, 2018-08-31) Terry, Nicolas P.; Silverman, Ross D.; Hoss, Aila; Beukema, Emily
    In 2017, Indiana University, in cooperation with Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb and community partners, launched the Grand Challenge: Responding to the Addictions Crisis initiative, a university-wide effort to advance interdisciplinary research and interventions in response to the substance abuse crisis affecting Indiana and the nation. The “Legal and Policy Best Practices in Response to the Substance Abuse Crisis” project is one of sixteen funded under Phase 1 of the Grand Challenge. In July 2018, and as part of this project, the research team convened a group of national experts to discuss legal and policy innovations to respond to the opioid use disorder (OUD) crisis. This report summarizes the proceedings of this workshop and updates some of the recommendations made by the team in their March 2018 Preliminary Report. During the workshop, experts answered targeted questions relating to the challenges in implementing law and policy recommendations to respond to the addiction crisis, as well as identified gaps in the current research. Participants provided examples of innovative interventions to respond to this crisis across four primary topic categories: (1) Criminalization; (2) Public Health; (3) Treatment; and (4) Effectuating Change.

    State statutes and regulations related to human papillomavirus vaccination
    (Taylor & Francis, 2019) Hoss, Aila; Meyerson, Beth E.; Zimet, Gregory D.; Pediatrics, School of Medicine
    A cross-sectional analysis of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine statutes and regulations from states and the District of Columbia in the United States (U.S.) was conducted from September-November 2018 to advance analyses of policy impact on HPV vaccination uptake. A search was conducted using WestlawNext, a legal research database. Statutes and regulations relevant to the study were analyzed and coded based on their legal attributes into ten broad coding questions and several sub-questions. Of the 212 laws identified by the initial search string, 93 (43.9%) reference HPV vaccination in statute or regulation. An additional three laws were added following subsequent review. There was a total of 52 statutes and 44 regulations from 34 states and the District of Columbia. Most laws were related to developing and distributing HPV vaccination materials for parents, and mechanisms to fund and reimburse for the vaccination. This study can be used by policymakers in jurisdictions that are considering establishing HPV vaccination promotion interventions in state law and highlighting the limited statutory and regulatory efforts that have been implemented to promote HPV vaccination. Importantly, this study can also be used to conduct evaluations of the efficacy of statutory and regulatory strategies in increasing HPV vaccination rates.
