Draft Policy Analysis Parts 1-2

The Policy Analysis Paper Overview should be referenced for complete guidance on preparations for the section.

Purpose: The Final Project: Policy Analysis Paper provides opportunity for students to use a stepped approach to analyze a public health policy problem of their choosing. Students will begin by preparing a problem statement, process discussion, and refined problem statement (Part 1), background information about the policy problem (Part 2), a discussion of factors affecting policy development and implementation (Part 3), policy alternative options (Part 4), and one recommended policy action (Part 5). Sections of this paper will be submitted according to the course schedule.

Part 1: Problem Statement Analysis

• 1-2 pages double-spaced

• Begin Part 1 with the broad general problem statement presented in the form of a question.

• Communicate clearly the purpose of the policy analysis.

• Summarize the process you used to develop the problem statement.

• Conclude Part 1 with a final refined problem statement question. Reflect revisions from Week 9- 14. Part 2: Background

FEEDBACK TO WORK ON

there is a lot of good content in this draft!  I can tell you have been working hard.

Structurally, the paper is out of order right now.  Please closely follow my notes below to ensure that your paper is organized to follow the assignment requirements (see the Final Policy Analysis Paper Overview). 

-Part 1 is one sentence and the requirement  is 1-2 pages. Present the original statement from Week 09, then discuss how you worded the statement. Why did you include "sustainable" "measures" "implemented" "2021" "support" "victims" "domestic violence"?"  How does the client define such terms, to your knowledge?  Who are "community members?  Follow this discussion with your refined (revised) problem statement.

-Remove all person language. This analysis should include the word "I".

-There should be one return between paragraphs - no extra lines for this analysis. This is structured like a professional piece, thus, extra lines are incorrect.

-Add Headings for each Part of the paper with the title of the Part such as Part 2: Background.

-The content after your Problem Statement appears to be your "Part 2 Background".  Do not introduce the stakeholder groups, options, or any suggestion of your recommendation.  Again, remove all "I statements" as this is an analytical/professional piece.  The Background should be 3-4 pages.

-Next, add a heading for your Part 3: Landscape. Fact-support is lacking for this section currently.  Add factual content about each group.  For example, if you note "economic factors" include data from a financial report. Include five paragraphs for each stakeholder group (no need to add new paragraphs per factor). Include the discussion of factors (economic, social, ect) per group.  Remove all reference to options.  Stakeholders and policy options must be separated. The Landscape should be 3-4 pages.

-Next add a heading for Part 4: Options. Present 5 options that answer your Problem Statement. For example: change "Chicago PD 14th District to something like, "Implement a police-department led initiative." Then explain the option. Word each option title to clearly answer the problem statement.  Number each option. The content in the Options should reflect Part 2 research and Part 3 stakeholder factors.  Hope, read the statement and then read your option wording.  Does each option solve the problem?  If not, adjust option wording.  Analyze pros/cons for each option. The Options should be 2-3 pages.  

-Last, add a heading for Part 5: Recommendation.  Repeat your problem statement. Next, present the option you will recommend to the client. Justify your decision by explaining how this solution best answers the Problem Statement after analysis of the Background and Stakeholder Landscape. 1-2 pages.
