Preventing Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome Within The Opioid Epidemic: A Uniform Facilitative Policy, Jeremiah A. Ho
Preventing Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome Within The Opioid Epidemic: A Uniform Facilitative Policy, Jeremiah A. Ho
Faculty Publications
The United States is currently in the midst of an opioid epidemic that has hit states in the southern New England regions particularly hard — with Massachusetts as one primary example. One of the many unfortunate results of the epidemic is a dramatic upsurge in cases of opioid dependency by expectant women that result in children born with Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS). NAS is a clinical syndrome that occurs when a newborn suffers withdrawal symptoms as a consequence of abrupt discontinuation of prenatal substance exposure. The expenses of treating and rehabilitating these drug-dependent newborns, predominantly shouldered by state taxpayers, are …

Truvada®, an antiretroviral medication originally approved to treat HIV, is the first drug to receive FDA approval for use by HIV-negative individuals to actually prevent infection. The prophylactic use of an antiretroviral such as Truvada is a pharmacological prevention method called “HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis” (or “PrEP”). With an efficacy of over ninety percent when used as prescribed, Truvada as PrEP has been embraced by the public health community, and implementation is under way across the United States. Truvada as PrEP is currently indicated for adult use only, but it may also be prescribed off-label to at-risk youth. In this Article, …

Collective Corporate Knowledge, The Federal False Claims Act, And The Future Of Federal Health Programs, Sam F. Halabi
Collective Corporate Knowledge, The Federal False Claims Act, And The Future Of Federal Health Programs, Sam F. Halabi
Faculty Publications
While recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions have drawn focus to whether what corporations “say” is protected by the First Amendment or what they “believe” is protected by the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act, the more relevant inquiry for a wide range of statutory and regulatory regimes is what corporations “know.” At the core of that question is what guides information relevant for legal compliance (including product safety, employee welfare, and material risks considered by investors) from its source to any given point in the firm, including decision-makers. This Article analyzes the federal False Claims Act as an underexploited resource in …

The Scope Of Preemption Under The 2009 Family Smoking Prevention And Tobacco Control Act, Sam F. Halabi
Faculty Publications
The 2009 Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act endeavored to alter the regulatory regime for tobacco products in the United States by allocating authority to regulate tobacco products to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

That provision allows tobacco manufacturers to submit applications to label products as “reduc[ing] the harm or the risk …
