Public Health Legislation Paper- Signature Assignment Description
For the final paper, students are required to write a minimum five-page paper (not including title, references, or abstract) that reflect knowledge and understanding gained in your coursework.
Identify a legislation (passed in the United States) that has had a significant impact on the burden and distribution of disease, injury, and affects health disparities.
Students are advised to only look at policies that have been in effect for more than three years so that data may be collected and reported, enabling you to compare the policy impact, even preliminarily. The selected legislation could impact behavior, social determinants of health, or the environment in the context of where people live, play, or work. Your text is a wealth of information that includes many different policies and associated references.
When choosing the policy to write your paper on, consider the significance of a piece of legislation in terms of impact. In general, the broader or deeper the impact on a population, a health issue, an important health disparity, or social or economic aspects, the more significant it is. For example, legislation that has resulted in setting legal blood alcohol concentration levels has positively impacted health outcomes and decreased economic costs. It is not recommended to select legislation that is disjointed, or does not have a large amount of readily available information for you to review (this should tell you that the impact of the legislation is not necessarily significant). It is suggested that different topic should be chosen.
Components that need to be addressed and included:
escribe the health problem that the legislation was intended to impact and provide descriptive statistics (incidence, prevalence) related to the health issue in the jurisdiction (State, county, nation, zip code, etc..) of the law before legislation was enacted. The statistics you provide should be appropriate to the level of government that the policy was intended to address. For example, if it is a statewide policy, include statistics that are relative to that state.
escribe public health legislation (law, policy, ordinance) in the United States. Through description of the specific legislation (policy) and the level of government (federal, state, local jurisdiction) that enacted the legislation.
- Describe the group(s) (adults, children, elderly, gender, etc.), communities (ethnic, socio-economic status, urban, rural, etc.) and municipalities, state or governments it is intended to impact.
- Describe how has it made an impact on the burden and distribution (across age groups, ethnicities, SES, gender) of disease or injury and its impact on populations, whether it is a specific community, a municipality, an entire state or the nation.
ompare the burden and distribution of the disease, injury, or health problem using statistics that this legislation was intended to address before and after the legislation was enacted. How did/has it changed?
dentify and describe health disparities among populations (differences across groups) that exist prior to the policy being enacted and after policy implementation. Did the implementation have a positive or negative impact?
xplain the financial impact of the disease and the impact the legislation has had. Include research that shows the burden of cost before the legislation was enacted (health care costs, productivity, etc.) and show the difference or make a comparison on the cost savings after the law was adopted. Economic impact can be inferred from other economic data related to the problem, population or policy.
orrectly identify and use primary and secondary data to support the impact assessment of the burden of disease and financial costs.
ntegrate course concepts into your analysis. Students are expected to use concepts learned in this course, such as, policy description/understanding; advocacy, etc/p>
onclusion: Your critical analysis (backed by facts) is key to this paper. (For example, when you are comparing impacts, think about what did it impact, to what degree, what factors might have played a complementary role, why did this occur.) You might also pose what might have improved this legislation or what some of the problems and recommendations you might make.
ou should have at least 4 scholarly sources cited and referenced in your paper. You are required to use at least 2 scholarly sources for the impact on the burden and the distribution of disease or injury, and at least 2 scholarly sources for its impact and Public Health Advocacy and Communication. Information from the textbook, assigned readings or prior courses is encouraged and may count towards one of your 4 sources.
