Milbank Quarterly Webinar: Regulating Consumer Products to Improve Mental Health

What: Consumer products like alcohol and cannabis are associated with disease and injuries and can affect mental health. Despite their effects on health, these products are not regulated at the federal level and are unevenly regulated by states. 

Join us for a Milbank Quarterly webinar focused on two articles about regulating consumer products from our special issue, Mental Health and Substance Use Challenges Facing the United States: What Can State Policymakers Do? The issue’s co-editor, Magdalena Cerdá of the NYU Grossman School of Medicine, will moderate the discussion with the authors and a state official. 

When: Friday, July 25, 1 p.m. – 2 p.m. ET 

Panelists:

• David Jernigan, Boston University School of Public Health, author of the forthcoming “Alcohol Problems and Policies: The States Have the Power, But Will They Use It?”
• Beth McGinty, Weill Cornell Medical College, coauthor of the forthcoming “The Impact of Medical Cannabis Laws on Cannabis and Opioid Use Disorder Treatment and Overdose-Related Healthcare Utilization Among Adults with Chronic Non-Cancer Pain.”
• Dana Moncrief, Center for Tobacco Prevention & Control, Maryland Department of Health
