The goal of the paper is to synthesize the literature review around the health experience and
your personal biography. 10 page paper (double-spaced).
Reflect on the lived health experiences of people close to you: yourself, your family and/or your close
friends. Use these experiences as a foundation for understanding some aspect of health, healthcare, and/or
health policy. Please refer back to Paul & Elder, 2008. The Miniature Guide to Critical Thinking. Using
research and academic literature, write a 10 page research paper that synthesizes the lived health
experience with the literature to research a health issue and/or healthcare policy. Strong papers will consider
potential public health consequences, their policy implications and possible solutions or alternatives.
