Component 4: Letter to a Policymaker

Note: Before completing this component of the Final Project, please familiarize yourself with the Week 8 Final Project Rubric, located in the Course Information area of the course navigation menu.

The last component of your Final Project is to write a letter to the policymaker that focuses on your support or opposition to a health care policy issue you select. Your letter should be written in a respectful tone and focus on the evidence supporting your position, rather than merely expressing your personal thoughts and opinions. You should provide evidence from the peer-reviewed literature to support your position and utilize information from Components 2 and 3.

The Assignment

You will submit your Final Project, including the following: a standard APA formatted title page and the letter that you submitted to the policymaker.

Note: If you received an email confirmation from the policymaker, indicating that your letter was accepted, you may submit that as well (although this is not required).

General Guidance on Assignment Length: Your Assignment should be 2–3 pages, excluding a title page and references. Refer to the Week 8 Final Project Rubric for grading elements and criteria. Your Instructor will use the rubric to assess your work.
