Public Health Research Line
The Law Centre for Health and Life is a member of the Ending COVID-19 Variants of Concern Through Cohort Studies (END-VOC) Consortium Project. This consortium consists of over 20 member institutions in Europe, Africa, Asia, and South America and aims to elucidate how SARS-CoV-2 variants evolve, are transmitted, and the role of law in shaping preparation and response to pandemics. LCHL works with a diverse group of partners to better understand how differences in law and regulatory structures throughout the world impact our ability to prepare for and respond to pandemics. The aim of these findings is to provide policy makers with information to strengthen international pandemic preparedness by harmonizing effective legal and regulatory actions.
This post-doc project utilizes a variety of methodological approaches, including comparative policy analysis and conjoint analysis, to better understand how policy and regulations affect public acceptance of pandemic-related policies.
