1 Policy Statement Archiving Process: Over time, policy statements become out of date and not reflective of current science or the current environment. The goal of the archiving process is to archive policy statements that are no longer current and to identify important policy statements that need to be updated and submitted to the annual policy statement development process. Policy statements approved for archiving by the Governing Council are noted as archived in the APHA policy statement database--they no longer guide APHA policy and practice, but serve as historical documents. In 2016, the archiving process was updated in an effort to more efficiently and effectively address the large number of active policy statements that need to be archived or updated. Plan for Archiving in 2018: If no new proposed policy statements are submitted in 2018 that would replace or update policy statements listed as update by 2018 then those with the 2018 designation will be automatically archived at the 2018 annual meeting. o There are 21 policy statements identified for update by 2018, no update was received and they will therefore be automatically archived. Future Process for Archiving: At APHA s 2016 Annual Meeting, the Governing Council updated the archiving review process so that beginning in 2019, policy statements adopted 20 or more years ago, will automatically be archived unless deemed current after a thorough review by the Science Board and approved to remain as active by the Governing Council. In order to remain active, the science, references and action steps in the policy statement must be current. o The list of policy statements adopted 20 or more years ago by 2019 is posted on the policy statement review and archiving portion of the APHA website (member s only).governing Councilors and other APHA members will have two policy statement development cycles to either submit a recommendation to the Science Board that the science is current or update the policy statement and submit for review. Guidelines for this process are posted on the policy statement review and archiving portion of the APHA website and are also detailed in APHA s Policy Statement Development Process Guidelines. In 2013, the Governing Council updated the policy statement development process guidelines so that new policy statements adopted in 2014 or later will be automatically scheduled for archiving after 10 years. APHA will post the list of policy statements due for archiving at the end of year 8 in order to give potential revisers time to review and submit updated documents for review by the JPC prior to the 10 year archive date if appropriate (e.g., a policy statement passed by the Governing Council in 2014 will be scheduled for archiving in 2024, and will be listed as such in 2022). At the annual meeting, any Governing Councilor may remove a policy statement from the 10- year archiving consent agenda and propose moving it to another category or removing it from consideration entirely. If the motion fails, the policy statement remains on the consent agenda. Eventually these two archiving processes will come together and only the 10 year automatic archiving process will be needed.
2 2018 Proposed Policy Statements: Science Board and JPC assessments In May 2018, the Science Board and Joint Policy Committee reviewed 24 proposed policy statements. The Science Board reviewed the proposals and member comments and assessed the proposals based on the strength of the evidence presented and the strength of scientific reasoning. A detailed description of the Science Board s assessment criteria is found in Appendix A. The JPC reviewed the proposals, member comments and Science Board s review in preparing its assessment of each proposal. The table below summarizes the Science Board and the JPC s assessments.

6 Appendix B AMERICAN PUBLIC HEALTH ASSOCIATION Joint Policy Committee Proposed Policy Statement Review Form The Joint Policy Committee is charged with overseeing the APHA s annual policy statement development process. It is the Committee s task to review and assess all proposed and late-breaking policy statements and report its final recommendations for adoption to the Governing Council at the Annual Meeting. Policy statements adopted through this process provide a record of the Association's stance on a variety of public health issues and reflect the diverse interests of the APHA membership. Please use the criteria below to assess the proposed policy. When completing your review, consider all of the questions presented and summarize your findings in a succinct manner. Not all questions will be relevant for each proposal; please note such questions with N/A rather than leaving it blank. Policy Statement Number and Title: Reviewer s Name: Reviewer 1 or Reviewer 2: Reviewer Disclosure Statement Disclose any relationship of a financial, professional, or personal nature that may have an impact on your ability to objectively review the policy statement proposal or that may be perceived as a conflict of interest. Conflicts of interest (competing interests) include facts known to a participant in the policy statement development process that if revealed later, would make a reasonable reader feel misled or deceived (or an author or reviewer feel defensive). Conflicts of interest may influence the judgment of authors and reviewers; these conflicts often are not immediately apparent to others or to the reviewer. They may be personal, commercial, political, academic, or financial. Financial interests may include employment, research funding (received or pending), stock or share ownership, patents, payment for lectures or travel, consultancies, nonfinancial support, or any fiduciary interest in the company. The perception or appearance of a conflict of interest, without regard to substance, alone creates conflict, because trust is eroded among all participants. All such interests (or their absence) must be declared in writing by authors upon submission of the proposed policy statement. If any are declared, they will be included with the policy statement proposal during the review process. If there is doubt about whether a circumstance represents a conflict, it should be disclosed.
7 Title Criteria Write your comments (as the reviewer) in this column Write a summary statement and include recommendations to the author. Please note that these recommendations may be shared with the author verbatim. Does the TITLE accurately reflect the problem statement, recommendations, and/or action steps? Relationship to existing APHA policy statements Is there an existing APHA policy statement that covers this issue? What is the RELATIONSHIP TO EXISTING APHA POLICY STATEMENTS?

If so, please identify reviewers (individuals and/or organization): Overall assessment of proposal: Positive - Policy statement meets all guidelines, is scientifically sound and concisely written; any changes necessary are minor and can be addressed in the copyediting phase Policy statement meets most guidelines but requires some revision to strengthen the arguments and evidence presented and improve minor grammatical and formatting issues - Policy statement does not meet guidelines, lacks or improperly cites scientific evidence, arguments presented are biased or one-sided; contains major grammatical and formatting errors. i Public health ethics can be subdivided into a field of study and a field of practice. As a field of study, public health ethics seeks to understand and clarify principles and values which guide public health actions. Principles and values provide a framework for decision making and a means of justifying decisions. Because public health actions are often undertaken by governments and are directed at the population level, the principles and values which guide public health can differ from those which guide actions in biology and clinical medicine (bioethics and medical ethics) which are more patient or individual-centered. As a field of practice, public health ethics is the application of relevant principles and values to public health decision making. In applying an ethics framework, public health ethics inquiry carries out three core functions, namely 1) identifying and clarifying the ethical dilemma posed, 2) analyzing it in terms of alternative courses of action and their consequences, and 3) resolving the dilemma by deciding which course of action best incorporates and balances the guiding principles and values.

12 ii Health equity is achieved when every person has the opportunity to attain his or her full health potential and no one is disadvantaged from achieving this potential because of social position or other socially determined circumstances. Health inequities are reflected in differences in length of life; quality of life; rates of disease, disability, and death; severity of disease; and access to treatment. CDC. Chronic disease prevention and health promotion. Health equity. Available at: Accessed March 18, iii Economics is the study of decisions the incentives that lead to them, and the consequences from them as they relate to production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services when resources are limited and have alternative uses. CDC uses economics to identify, measure, value, and compare the costs and consequences of alternative prevention strategies. CDC.
