Clinical, Legal, Ethical Considerations in Deliberative Democracy in a Pandemic

Clinical, Legal, Ethical Considerations_social4

The COVID-19 experience exposed weaknesses in New York's process of deliberative democracy in response to the pandemic. A state with a distinguished history in this interdisciplinary space was left behind with the views of important constituencies left unheard and communities unserved. Better apprehending how this abdication of responsibility occurred can help prevent its recurrence in the future and lead to more trustworthy, inclusive and effective public health and health law governance.
