Corporations and Health Watch
May 2008



In an opening commentary, Corporations and Health Watch founder Nicholas Freudenberg highlights how the business decisions of tobacco, food, alcohol, and other industries influence the differential burden of disease by class and race/ethnicity.

 In our resource section, Corporations and Health Watch summarizes a selection of recent peer-reviewed studies that describe and analyze how corporations target selected populations for marketing of unhealthy products, assess the impact of these practices on differences in health behavior and health, and explore other ways that corporate decisions maintain or exacerbate health disparities.
