"Healthy public policy" is a phrase used by the World Health Organization to describe health policy focused on putting issues of health on the agenda for a broader range of public policies. The premise of this approach is that developing alliances and partnerships that crosscut boundaries of traditional public policy making will foster better interaction between the personal, social, and political arenas. This book presents a selection of case studies from the US, Canada, the UK, Australia, and Japan that illustrate the emergence of healthy public policy at the local level.
