Each workshop will explore aspects of science and data, public policy, and collaborative and innovative approaches at different levels of government.

Description
Planning committees of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will organize and conduct a series of public workshops featuring invited presentations and discussion to explore policy---as a structural driver of population health---in several domains.
(1) Labor policy at different levels of government;
(2) Tax policy at different levels of government; and
(3) Housing policy at different levels of government.
During the year-long series, workshops will explore each policy domain with attention to such factors as the evidence linking policy approaches to improved population health outcomes, design principles for effectiveness and impact, examples of innovative local or regional approaches, and illustrative case examples that highlight the policy environments and themes that cut across the three policy domains.
Each planning committee will identify specific topics to be addressed, develop the agenda, select and invite speakers and other participants (with attention to showcasing a wide range perspectives), and moderate the discussions. A proceedings-in brief summarizing the presentations and discussions at each workshop in the series will be prepared by a designated rapporteur in accordance with institutional guidelines.
