Health Policy Assessment

Create a PowerPoint presentation summarizing your assessment findings and recommendations on your chosen health policy issue. You will need to provide a written transcript of your presentation; if you choose, you may also record voiceover narration to go with your PowerPoint presentation. Use the work you completed in your Module Three and Module Seven Project Two Preparation assignments, ensuring you have implemented all feedback for these assignments from your instructor, to help you complete this presentation.

      • Who are the people and/or groups who will be primarily affected by this issue, either positively or negatively?
      • How might vulnerable populations and underserved areas be affected by this issue?
