In November we posted presentations by the Spirit of 1848 caucus at the 2008 American Public Health Association annual meeting. We also felt it was important to share some of the presentations on trade and health that have been posted by the Center for Policy Analysis on Trade and Health, CPATH. These represent cutting edge work on how trade agreements are impacting upon health.
Here is a listing of presentations, most with links to the actual slides or posters. You can also download them from the CPATH website.
