Policy Brief

 

 

Research public health issues on the “Climate Change” or “Topics and Issues” pages of the American Public
Health Association (APHA) website. Investigate a public health issue related to an environmental issue within
the U.S. health care delivery system and examine its effect on a specific population.
Write a 750-1,000-word policy brief that summarizes the issue, explains the effect on the population, and
proposes a solution to the issue.
Follow this outline when writing the policy brief:
Describe the policy health issue. Include the following information: (a) what population is affected, (b) at what
level does it occur (local, state, or national), and (c) evidence about the issues supported by resources.
Create a problem statement.
Provide suggestions for addressing the health issue caused by the current policy. Describe what steps are
required to initiate policy change. Include necessary stakeholders (government officials, administrator) and
budget or funding considerations, if applicable.
Discuss the impact on the health care delivery system.
Include three peer-reviewed sources and two other sources to support the policy brief
