• Description:
  This training manual was developed to support state, tribal, local, and territorial health departments in their efforts to address ethical issues that arise in the practice of public health. It provides tools to enable participants to become conversant in ethics and confidently engage in discussion of realistic case studies that foster practical decision making. The training does not offer a formula for decision making, but an approach that recognizes that the process of ethical reflection is an ongoing challenge that deepens by incorporating it into one’s daily routine.
  
  To ensure its relevance and practicality, public health practitioners reviewed the training materials through the course of its development. In addition, ethicists and subject matter experts within and outside the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) wrote or reviewed the materials to ensure its scientific accuracy and fidelity to established principles in the field of public health ethics.
  
  The teaching combines an overview of public health ethics with case studies in public health on current topics. The overview introduces public health ethics and distinguishes it from clinical and research ethics. It offers a guide for analyzing ethical challenges in public health and discusses the use of tools for addressing these challenges, such as the case-based approach and stakeholder analysis. It also explores the overlap between law and ethics. Each case contains relevant scientific and regulatory background information and questions for discussion. The facilitator’s manual contains additional questions, ethical points to consider, and a sample ethical analysis of the case.
  
  We envision this as a living document. The original version of this manual was released in August 2012. In this version, we have updated the slides to better reflect our current training approach. We have also created a case repository on our CDC Public Health Ethics website which can serve as an additional resource for cases. This case repository can be found at https://www.cdc.gov/od/science/integrity/phethics/trainingmaterials.htm.
  
  This training was originally developed in 2012 through a collaborative effort between the Office of the Associate Director for Science (now known as the Office of Science), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) with support from Booz Allen Hamilton.
