“…This is a cross-sectional study; therefore, relationships between state-level rurality and state statutes should be interpreted with caution. Conducting Boolean keyword searches of state statutes (combined with reviewing statutory indices and tables of contents, and continually reviewing coding protocol) is the best-practice method in policy surveillance that nevertheless has limitations [55,75]. There is the potential that we overlooked certain "wordings" that correspond to important PA-related content of the state statutes.…”

Less than one-quarter of U.S. adults meet physical activity (PA) recommendations, with rural residents less likely to be active than urban residents. The built environment has been identified as a potential facilitator of PA and local comprehensive plans are a foundational tool for guiding the development of the built environment. The purpose of this study was therefore to understand the current landscape of comprehensive planning state statutes related to PA and rural communities. We used primary legal research methods to identify, compile, and evaluate all 50 state comprehensive planning statutes for items related to PA and conditional mandates based on population size of local jurisdictions. The presence of population-conditional planning mandates and the inclusion of PA-related items was analyzed by state-level rurality using Fisher’s exact tests. Our analyses demonstrated that (1) broader PA-related items were addressed in state statutes more often than more specific PA-related items; (2) when PA-related items were addressed, they were most likely to be mandated, subsumed elements; (3) several PA-related items were less likely to be addressed in the most rural states and/or conditionally mandated for jurisdictions meeting minimum population requirements; and (4) only two states addressed PA directly and explicitly in their comprehensive planning statutes.

“…A recent Internet scan turned up hundreds of web pages reporting current 50-state assessments of health law (66). Only in a very few instances, however, is this legal information systematically or scientifically collected, coded, or published to capture change over time or to provide data suitable for use in evaluation (see http://iphionline.org/homepage/data-it/).…”

Public health law has roots in both law and science. For more than a century, lawyers have helped develop and implement health laws; over the past 50 years, scientific evaluation of the health effects of laws and legal practices has achieved high levels of rigor and influence. We describe an emerging model of public health law that unites these two traditions. This transdisciplinary model adds scientific practices to the lawyerly functions of normative and doctrinal research, counseling, and representation. These practices include policy surveillance and empirical public health law research on the efficacy of legal interventions and the impact of laws and legal practices on health and health system operation. A transdisciplinary model of public health law, melding its legal and scientific facets, can help break down enduring cultural, disciplinary, and resource barriers that have prevented the full recognition and optimal role of law in public health.

“…We used Computer Assisted Qualitative Data Analysis (CAQDAS) for coding (Chowdhury, 2015;Nind et al, 2015;Kaefer et al, 2015). Most questions were binary and mutually exclusive, requiring coders to answer "yes" or "no" to the CAQDAS prompt (Presley et al, 2015;Burris, 2014;Chriqui et al, 2011).…”

“…For the longitudinal study, we examined the actions of all federal agencies from the date of promulgation until February 1, 2015, the date of research, to evaluate the effectiveness of EO 13211 on public health, natural resource conservation and the environment. (Presley et al, 2015;Ramanathan, 2015;Ransom, 2015;Burris, 2014;Wagenaar and Burris, 2013;Maguire and Sheriff, 2011;Chriqui et al, 2011) To gather data in the longitudinal study of all federal agencies, we conducted a series of searches using the Lexis/Nexis and Regulations.gov databases.…”

“…This study used quantitative policy surveillance methods to examine how frequently federal agencies made energy impact analyses pursuant to EO 13211 (Presley et al, 2015;Geltman et al, 2015;Wagenaar and Burris, 2013). The study sought to examine whether, as feared by environmental groups, EO 13211 was being used by federal agencies to thwart environmental, natural resource conservation and other public health efforts as reflected in rulemaking reported in the federal register (Heinzerling, 2014;Bratspies et al, 2008).…”
