They are that 1) We in Public Health have to be part of the solutions, if not us, who will? and 2) Any interventions focussing on making a difference in these communities have to be developed with the communities affected. There have been plenty of examples over the years of things being done for communities that have had no impact or resulted in long-standing change.<br />One final point, and in line with why Martin Luther King made his mark, is that we need to be more vocal in challenging injustices and push for the kinds of social and political change advocated by Dr King. Smoke Free Public Places would never have been achieved if it wasn't for the efforts of an army of advocates lobbying politicians and making the case for change.<br />Thanks.Iain Millernoreply@blogger.com
