The problems and challenges they address include issues relating to justice concerns, surveillance and stigma, community values and the value of community, trust and the value of information, and freedom and responsibility. Specific public health topics include resource allocation, restricting liberty to protect the community from health threats, and the health impact of trauma, addiction, obesity and health disparities. 2022-05-13T12:18:51Z 2022-05-13T12:18:51Z 2022 book ONIX_20220513_9783030920807_14 9783030920807 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/54422 eng Public Health Ethics Analysis application/pdf n/a 978-3-030-92080-7.pdf https://link.springer.com/978-3-030-92080-7 Springer Nature Springer International Publishing 10.1007/978-3-030-92080-7 10.1007/978-3-030-92080-7 6c6992af-b843-4f46-859c-f6e9998e40d5 9783030920807 Springer International Publishing 7 238 Cham open access
