Write the section of your final capstone paper that gives examples of POLICIES related to the public health problem in your population.
These can be local policies, organizational policies, state policies, or federal policies.
For example, policies to fight childhood obesity could include:
A local school district banning soda machines in the schools
A USDA (federal) policy improving the quality of school lunches
A city passing a fast-food zoning ordinance to improve the built environment
A state law creating more parks and playgrounds in low SES areas
A national ban on child-directed junk food advertising
A soda tax at the local or state level
Create a report discussing at least three (3) policies that address your health issue. For each, be sure you are addressing:
Goal of the policy
Description of the policy
Where, when, and how was it implemented?
Source of funding
Impact
Political context—Was it a struggle to get the law passed? It is widely supported?
