Abstract
Policy Points Laws on drug use during pregnancy are enforced more harshly against structurally marginalized people. Despite this pattern, these laws' impacts on health and health care inequities are understudied. We offer recommendations for novel, robust research to generate evidence on this essential topic.
期刊介绍:
The Milbank Quarterly is devoted to scholarly analysis of significant issues in health and health care policy. It presents original research, policy analysis, and commentary from academics, clinicians, and policymakers. The in-depth, multidisciplinary approach of the journal permits contributors to explore fully the social origins of health in our society and to examine in detail the implications of different health policies. Topics addressed in The Milbank Quarterly include the impact of social factors on health, prevention, allocation of health care resources, legal and ethical issues in health policy, health and health care administration, and the organization and financing of health care.
