Abstract

Abstract This chapter examines how interventions designed to research, oppose, advocate against, regulate, and change the practices of corporations can be made. History demonstrates that corporate practices have long challenged health. These practices include regulation of wages and working conditions, laws to reduce adverse environmental and health impacts of harmful products such as cigarettes and alcohol, and other harmful practices. Researchers, journalists, activists, politicians, and public servants have worked over time to mitigate the harms of these products and practices to the end of protecting and improving population health. This chapter identifies key interventions that could help protect population health from the negative impacts of the commercial determinants of health (CDOH). It also focuses on the structural drivers of ill health and argues that, ultimately, the decision to address CDOH must be taken collectively and will not result from individual actions alone.
