Week 4 Discussion 1: Advocating for Your Health Policy Brief

As you finalize your health policy brief and prepare to contact a local representative in week 6, share how you plan to advocate for change.
Class participation will be based on weekly participation in discussions. Participation will be measured for the quality (clarity, relevance, and factual knowledge) of contributions. You should use the week’s reading and scholarly resources, including assigned readings, to support your response.
