Ethical Issues in Government Sponsored Public Health Campaigns.

Faden, Ruth R.

Health Education Quarterly, v14 n1 p27-37 Spr 1987

Discusses the ethics of health communications campaigns, including compatibility with the principle of respect for autonomy. Reviews five potential justifications: (1) public health as an independent value, (2) collective efficiency or preference, (3) third-party interests, (4) harm to health of others, and (5) countering short-term market contingencies.
