Policy Evaluation

Purpose

The purpose of this assignment is to evaluate an existing health policy based upon dimensions of effectiveness, unintended effects, acceptability, cost, equity, and feasibility. Students will develop a professional presentation to share policy evaluation findings, as well as a recommendation to strengthen the impact of the selected policy.
