- Defining characteristics
- 1. emergency response situation leading to more power to certain institutions that have access to high levels of individual data. 2. data used for monitoring by law enforcement that then impacts ability to respond to public health threats

- health protection instead of promotion, reactive instead of proactive approaches

because access to data is utilized for political or law enforcement purposes, authoritarianism becomes increasingly common. this causes or enables less participation in the Health system, which ultimately changes the ability of public health to be population based and increases inequities.
