Introduction
For this assessment, you will be required to develop and thoroughly analyze a public policy in
order to advocate for one that improves the health of the public and/or the nursing profession globally (local, state, national, or international). To do this, you will reflect on several aspects of
being a policy maker within the nursing position. A few things to consider are:

individual, families, and/or communities?
• What are the values and the ethical positions that underpin your perspectives?
• What are the criteria you will use to evaluate the success (outcomes) of your proposed policy
change?
By using both a top-down and a bottom-up approach, you will analyze and bring the nursing
perspective to policy makers and stakeholders. Identifying the values and ethical perspectives
that underpin your position, you will develop criteria to evaluate the success of your work. This
will lead to a created a policy brief that can be sent to decision makers and created a plan to
work with an organization/community to promote policy change at the local level.
To guide you to your conclusion, using nursing research to support your position is vital. This
should include principles of community-based participatory research (CBPR).
Requirements
Your submission must be your original work. No more than a combined total of 30% of the
submission and no more than a 10% match to any one individual source can be directly quoted
or closely paraphrased from sources, even if cited correctly. An originality report is provided  when you submit your task that can be used as a guide.
Professional Communications is a required aspect to pass this task. Completion of a spell check
and grammar check prior to submitting your final work is strongly recommended.

What are some factors that make some people healthy and others ill? Healthy People 2020
identifies five determinants of health that influence the health of individuals and populations.
Healthy People 2020 describes them as “a range of personal, social, economic, and
environmental factors that influence health status” (U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services, 2018, About Determinants of Health, para. 1). Determinants fall into five categories,
including (a) policy making, (b) social factors, (c) health services, (d) individual behavior, and (e)
biology and genetics.
Choose one of the five determinants other than individual behavior (as we are all aware of how
individual behavior impacts health). In your post, describe this determinant and its importance.
Discuss how a community health nurse (CHN) could use one of the 17 intervention categories
from the Public Health Intervention Wheel to address this determinant (Nies & McEwen, 2019).
