To the extent feasible, public health measures should secure the voluntary compliance or participation of affected individuals, allowing individuals the autonomy of informed consent. Beyond political complexities, there are also practical barriers to evidence-informed health policy making. Therefore, public health policy is the collected laws, regulations, and approaches taken to making decision and implementing policy that affects the health of the wider community.

Ideas and criticisms may be more useful for policy agenda setting, to obtain attention on policy problems and provide possible solutions. The conflict is no longer between individual freedom and domestic population health, but between individual freedom and global population health, as demonstrated by the rapid spread of HIV, Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), and pandemic flu via air travel. By way of example, public health policies, particularly those targeting risk factors for chronic disease, frequently intervene on the market through taxation or regulation. Therefore, public health policy is the collected laws, regulations, and approaches taken to making decision and implementing policy that affects the health of the wider community.
