The framework that Meacham introduces is about the type of analysis that informs policy. He categorizes this into a continuum loosely organized along the lines of where the analysis will occur to inform policy makers along the process model:
• Ex-ante policy analysis is considered to be prospective and examines a problem and the solutions prior to the policy debate and implementation.
• Policy Maintenance is analysis undertaken to assess whether policies were implemented as intended.
• Policy Monitoring is measuring and recording the operation of a policy implementation, and it helps with managerial and legislative oversight.
• Ex-post policy analysis is a retrospective way to determine the value of a policy, based upon whether it achieved its objectives through implementation.
following the health policy news. Choose one example of a health policy news article or issue brief that discusses one of these types of research on a health policy topic. There are two steps here. In 1PAGE or less, find a news article that discusses research on a policy topic. Second, answering the list of questions below. This https://www.nbcnews.com/science/science-news/largest-mask-study-yet-details-importance-fighting-covid-19-rcna1858
is a great example of what I am looking for as it is 1) healthcare news article, that 2) discusses research (in this case an RTC), 3) on a health policy topic (masking to prevent COVID transmission). Something like this issue https://www.healthsystemtracker.org/brief/how-lowering-the-medicare-eligibility-age-might-affect-employer-sponsored-insurance-costs/
would also work, as it presents research findings (from secondary data analysis) on a health policy topic (lowering Medicare eligibility age).
1. In the article/brief discussing policy research, what stage of policy analyses is this exemplifying? Choose from ex-ante, maintenance, monitoring, or ex-post. Provide supporting evidence as to your choice.
2. What research method was used? You can choose more than one from the types of study designs covered in the lecture and readings (i.e. cost–effectiveness). Provide supporting evidence as to your choice.
3. What was the quality of the data used in the research? Provide supporting evidence as to your choice.
4. Were the methodology used and data presented appropriate to the policy question? Why or why not?
