Describe new policies that you consider important for addressing your selected public health issue, and explain why.
Course Project: Community Advocacy Project—Health Policies
To prepare for this section of the Course Project:
• Review the Windome et al. article. Reflect on the authors’ seven lessons and how the lessons apply to advocacy work and policy formation.
• Consider existing policies that impact the public health issue (TOBACCO USE) you selected in Week 1.. For instance, if you have identified tobacco use as an issue within your community, think about community policies that would curtail tobacco use such as tobacco-free zones and high taxes on tobacco products.
• View the media titled “Improving Public Health Policy.” Think about new policies that might be enacted to address your selected public health issue. These policies must be able to be implemented. Do not suggest, for instance, that smoking should be made entirely illegal.
• Identify potential stakeholders in the development and passage of ideas for health policy change within your community.
The Project (1–2 pages)
