Description

Review the policy-making process. Analyze three different opportunities for individuals to influence the policy-making process. What are the pros and cons of each approach? Which individuals are most likely to use which approach? How can policy makers consider this information and weigh input from a variety of individuals?

In your final project for this course, the policy memorandum, you will conduct a policy analysis and make recommendations. Review each of these prompts:

Issue Prompt One: Language

Issue Prompt Two: Immunizations

Issue Prompt Three: Access and Enrollment Assistance

One of these prompts will be the basis for your final project. In your journal assignment, discuss which prompt interests you and why. How will you identify key stakeholders and their needs?

As you review the prompts, consider that competing interests, needs, and values can make it difficult to implement a policy or recommendation that meets stakeholder needs. Which prompt strikes you as the most challenging in this regard?
