You are required to complete a term project for this course, in which you will apply the information you have covered throughout the course.

In preparation for your term paper, research and compare different health policies or programs in the U.S., on the local, state, or the federal level. Next, choose one policy or program. Write a paper exploring the planning, implementation, and evaluation that went into the policy or program.

The final term paper will describe the Program planning and policies process including the benefits of incorporating components of various approaches to conducting a needs assessment, selecting the appropriate statistics for analysis of data and the target audience for the program and how this is relevant to the Saint Leo University Core Values of Excellence and Integrity in the context of health care policy analysis. There will be only one topic per student. To prevent duplication of papers, please post your paper topic under the Module 2, Project Topic item in the navigation tree no later than 11:59 PM on Sunday of Module 2. You may post your topic earlier, if you wish. Please review your peers’ topics before posting yours, to ensure you do not duplicate one already selected by someone else.
