In 2015 APHA convened a task force charged with revising, expanding and updating the code of public health ethics that had been adopted and promulgated in 2002. This year the APHA approved a new “Public Health Code of Ethics,” and it was released at the association’s annual meeting held in Philadelphia in early November. I was the co-chair of that task force and served as one of the principal drafters of the text of the new code. It will be available in pdf format on the APHA website soon. More information can now be found in an article by Mark Barna on the Public Health Newswire at: http://www.publichealthnewswire.org/?p=new-public-health-code-of-ethics.
