Public Health Under Siege

Articles in this special issue explore the many ways in which public health policy has been transformed and dismantled during the second Trump administration, including the consequences of budget cuts, eroded administrative capacity and reduced workforce, erased data and lost research, the abandonment of health equity, and the shifting position of global public health. Authors also make sense of the political currents such as anti-expertise attitudes that have reshaped public health's policy environment. Finally, they look ahead to ways in which public health can recover, reinvigorate, and surmount the turmoil that now envelops it.
