Define the public health issue you choose and the public policy about this concern. Describe how this issue is addressed, whether federally, by states, locally, by private groups, or by some combination of these. If this particular issue is relevant to only certain locations or handled differently in different areas, explain this variance. How are various entities responsible for and address (or don’t) the problem and the difficulties involved? Conclude with your analysis on the importance of the issue, and, propose how the issue might be better addressed. It is essential that you do contemporary, authoritative research, and as much as possible, provide new insight and analysis of this public health problem, instead of reciting only the obvious. Go ahead and take an unusual or controversial position, or come up with a real solution (and the funding) for an age-old problem.

Include at least 3 authoritative sources to support your analysis and recommendations.

Some citing of newspapers, magazine articles etc. is acceptable, particularly peer-reviewed articles; however, the bulk of your research should include current authoritative sources from acceptable authorities on your chosen subject as well as current data.

The paper should be a minimum of 2000 words, double spaced. Use APA or MLA Style for your paper format.
