Who Shall Lead: Is There a Future
for Population Health?
David Mechanic
Institute for Health, Health Care Policy, and Aging Research, Rutgers

Journal of Health Politics, Policy and Law
Volume 28, Number 2-3, April 2003
Special Conference Issue: Who shall Lead?

Despite renewed interest in population health concerns, elevation of this
field in policy considerations faces many challenges. At present there is
much concern about disparities and meeting improved population health
objectives, but interest waxes and wanes with scientific developments and
especially with dominant political alignments and ideologies. If the field
of population health is to have sustained policy influence, it requires a
persistent constituency, a strong organizational base both within and
outside of government, and academic respectability. Population health faces
many issues in seeking to become legitimized as both a unique field of
study and as a significant force in public policy. Among these are a clear
definition of the boundaries of the field, a continuing flow of resources
for development, and attractive career structures for new recruits and
future leaders.
