Law is an important tool in achieving public health goals, but it is of limited value if it can only be used as a club. The force of law can be used to help resolve public health problems without having to resort to confrontation. This module emphasizes that a public health professional's first response should not be to litigate, but to try to reach a cooperative solution through negotiation. You will learn negotiation principles applicable to any public health issue requiring resolution and how to apply these principles to resolve conflicts in a systematic way.

Prerequisites
The Legal Basis of Public Health, Module 1 - Introduction
