Students will write a 1-2 page Policy Recommendation for Prevention of one Communicable or Non-Communicable Disease
Step 1: Define the Problem
Choose one communicable or non-communicable disease
What is the issue or the problem? Why is it important? Why now? Who is impacted and who cares? When defining your problem, be specific to your audience and clearly frame the issue.
Step 2: Identify the Target Audience.
The target here is the State’s Director of Health and Human Services. However, students can choose to use several target audiences and stakeholders. Who has the influence to make a change that will address this problem? If the audience is expected to be policymakers (and their staff), community leaders, industry, or nongovernmental organization executives, the problem should be defined in terms relevant to their policy intervention, respectively.
Step 3: State the Policy for Disease Prevention
Identify one specific policy action that will address the problem. Make your case by displaying and describing relevant data using 1–2 figures or tables.
Step 4: Discuss the Impact
Briefly discuss the implications of both action and inaction; analyze estimated pros and cons of the policy action; consider intended and unintended consequences; address opposing arguments. Conclude with a restatement of how this policy specifically addresses this problem.
