| dc.description.abstract | Abstract In comparison to other public health disciplines, such as epidemiology and social sciences, the significance of law in promoting population-level health advances is relatively underutilized and less well-studied. Black-letter methodology, also known as doctrinal research, traditionally used in legal studies, focuses on the systematic analysis of legal texts and statutes. Black-letter methodology indicates the fundamental components of legal study that are not subject to dispute or uncertainty. It is generally recognized by the majority of justices in a specific jurisdiction. The fundamental sources of law, such as legislation, are the focus of the black-letter analysis. In public health, the objective of black-letter methodology is to acquire an understanding of the ways in which the legal determinants, including various laws, procedures, systems, and provisions, affect the health of the people involved. This methodology can be adapted to public health research to examine the impact of laws and regulations on health outcomes. This viewpoint explores the application of the black-letter methodology in public health, highlighting its potential to provide robust insights into the legal determinants of health. Keywords: Black letter methodology, doctrinal research, public health, legal determinants of health, Nepal, Health | |
