Introduce & identify the problem (health topic) and discuss why it is a social problem important, while providing a historical and current overview of the problem
The purpose of this paper is to provide you with the opportunity to analyze health policies or proposals designed to address a social problem of concern in the healthcare service setting. This is your chance to explore an important issue and see how policy and health advocacy can be used to address that issue. Please refer to the CDC Policy ToolKit and Health Advocacy Toolkit for resource as you work on Part 1 of your project.
There are two parts to this project and each is outlined below. In preparing this paper, students will be expected to follow proper principals of grammar and syntactic structure so as to demonstrate appropriate communication skills.
1. Identify the problem and provide context/background
a. Provide information about the problem (ex: access to health services, healthcare cost, and health disparities etc.)
b. Include historical development and present-day description of the issue.
2. Response to the problem
a. Provide information on previous and current efforts to address the issue
b. Introduce your health policy here and how it addresses your health issue 
3. Describe the landscape
a. Who are the individuals/groups affected by this issue?
b. Who are the individuals/groups who have attempted to address the problem in the past?
c. Discuss the political players trying to modify or influence your selected health policy.
d. Discuss how health service administrators can address this problem
4. Discuss the levels, branches, and institutions of government (federal, state, local) involved with making and implementing this policy.
5. Discuss the pros, cons (unintended consequences), and health implications of this policy.
6. Describe how or if this policy should be modified and what needs to happen in order for the modification to occur to lend to a positive health outcome.
a. Discuss how health service administrators can advocate for the continuation/modification of this policy
7. Conclusion –provide a general summary and takeaway of the overall paper
a. 1-2 sentences to summarize each question
b. Then two sentences on why health service administrators must understand the role of health policy in shaping health outcomes and how they can participate in advocacy
For each question, you must use at least 2 credible support resources (ex: peer-reviewed article, credible organization website. Avoid “.com” websites and instead use “.gov, .org, .edu)
– Paper should be formatted in accordance with APA 7th edition
– This is a formal paper, so avoid “personal pronouns” in your writing. Avoid writing “fluff” to answer your questions and instead provide evidence-based responses
o Also, though the questions are numbered, be sure you format your paper in paragraphs. (Indenting each new paragraph)
– Avoid overuse of “quotations”. Work to summarize and synthesize your responses as informed by various support material. Each competency provides stellar resources you can use in addition to ones you find.
– Organize your paper appropriately
o Label sections appropriately as these provide a “hint” of what each section is about (see how the articles in your modules are organized & labeled)
o Use the general headings on the next page to organize your paper. You will notice each aligns with the “topic” for each question.
▪ You are welcome to use additional second level headings that align with each question “bullet”
o Arrange and organize your paper based on the question order given.
▪ Write your paper in order; example don’t’ answer “question 4” before answering question 3
▪ Be sure your paragraphs “flow” well and stay focused on the question/bullet being answered. To do this, be sure your first sentence in a paragraph in some way connects with the last sentence from the previous sentence. This first (or last) sentence is a “segway” sentence that connects to sections or paragraphs
▪ For example, the last sentence in your question 5 section should help “segway” into Question 6
• (last sentence in Q5) this policy has increased access to substance abuse treatment by ensuring coverage for individuals with related disorders.
• (first & second sentence in Q6) This policy has had both positive and negative implications especially for individuals living in rural areas who usually have access to primary healthcare doctors. Therefore, this policy should be modified to include the integration of substance abuse treatment into primary care services. 

valuate the current state of the quality of care and outcomes for a specific issue in a target population.
Look back to the data or scenario you used in your previous assessment to address this criterion.
Analyze how the current state of the quality of care and outcomes for a specific issue in a target population necessitates health policy development and advocacy.
Justify why the developed policy will be vital in improving the quality of care and outcomes for a specific issue in a target population.
Advocate for policy development in other care settings with regard to a specific issue in a target population.
Analyze the ways in which interprofessional aspects of the policy will support efficient and effective achievement of desired outcomes for the target population.
Communicate in a professional and persuasive manner, writing content clearly and logically with correct use of grammar, punctuation, and spelling.
Integrate relevant sources to support assertions, correctly formatting citations and references using APA style (or the journal’s preferred style).

SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS
The submission requirements for your editorial will depend on the journal you choose. To find out the requirements, go to the journal’s Web site. There should be a section regarding submissions that will address how to format letters to the editor, and whether there is a word count limit (there usually is a limit).
If the journal does not have submission guidelines for the number of resources required, use 3–5 sources.
To be sure that your faculty knows the submission and formatting requirements for your letter, include the journal’s guidelines on a separate page at the end of the document you submit for this assessment.
