AB  - Gubernatorial executive orders (GEOs) are important, yet poorly understood, 
      public health tools. We analyzed health-related GEOs nationwide using a modified 
      legal mapping approach. We searched Westlaw's Netscan Executive Orders database 
      for orders issued between 2008 and 2014. Search terms were generated from the 
      Healthy People 2020 Leading Health Indicators (LHIs). GEOs were screened with 
      data abstracted and analyzed on the basis of LHIs, states, years, and 
      characteristics identified in previous literature. We found differences in GEOs 
      issued per LHI. Of the 303 unique orders, they ranged from 32 to 53 issued per 
      year and 0 to 45 issued per state. Most GEOs managed governmental public health 
      functions, required collaboration, and mandated studying problems. Fewer directly 
      addressed health equity, chronic disease, and resource deployment. Gubernatorial 
      authority and political and institutional factors appear relevant to GEO 
      issuance. GEOs offer means to institute public health policies and should be 
      considered by public health professionals.
