1. Identify policy related to your team focal area – include the name
Pro tip: use the library resources to find information on policy. It is also ok to google “health policy …”
2. Describe the policy
– Identify the policy level – federal, state or local.
– What is the focus/aim? What is the relationship to your focal area – does this provide funding or establish legal restrictions?
– How is it funded, and who manages distributing the funds or oversees the programs?
– How is it evaluated, and is it a permanent program or one that needs regular renewal?
Pro tip: many health policies have programs with dedicated websites where you can get more information – be sure to include it on the REFERENCE LIST!
