Assignment: Final Project: Health Policy Analysis Part II

The Final Project for this course is a two-part health policy analysis of a topic provided by your instructor. Be sure to review the required learning resources for more information about the content, voice, and structure of a professional policy analysis. Pay specific attention to the five essential components of a policy analysis as described in Chapter 14 of your textbook: problem statement, background, landscape, options analysis, and recommendation.  In Module 4 you completed the first three components. In Module 5 you complete the remaining components.

Keep in mind that both too long or too short will negatively impact the quality of your analysis, so pay close attention to the page guidance and make sure you focus your information on the specific location pre-assigned by your instructor.  Do NOT do a general overview of the topic. This paper should be the result of the analyses you are doing on one place and around one topic, using the data of that place on the specific assigned topic.

Your assignment must include the following items and be comprised of approximately 6-7 pages not including the title page and references.

• A title page, with name, date, course and section, and the title and you must include section headers for each section, below.
• Options Analysis:
  • Identify three alternative actions that your policymaker might take to address the issue
  • Analyze the pros and cons for each identified option
• Recommendation:
  • Choose one of the options you identified as the recommended course of action for the client and discuss why this option is better than the others despite the cons associated with the option
  • Identify one action that may be taken to ameliorate the cons associated with the option
  • Include a take home message about the impact of these options on public health and health equity
