Policy models provide the framework for moving policy forward. However, not all policy models will be effective for all priorities. Therefore, it is important to appraise policy models with the specific advocacy priority in mind.
For this Assignment, you will choose from four policymaking frameworks, the one that best fits your advocacy priority. You will construct a written response, with evidence, explaining the selected framework, providing specific detail regarding how it is the best fit and will move the priority forward.
To Prepare
• Review the twelve policy models outlined in Health Policy: Applications for Nurses and Other Health Professionals (Chapter 10, pp. 119-125).
• Consider which of the four models might best fit your priority determined in Week 2.
The Assignment: (2 pages)
Submit a 2-page written response detailing your selection of one policymaking framework that best supports your priority—particularly, getting your priority on the agenda.
In your response, explain why the framework best describes how you might proceed in effectively moving your advocacy priority forward in the policymaking process.
Support your response with evidence.
