West Virginia University Social Detriments of Health Policy Paper

Selecting one of the Social Determinants of Health from “The Solid Facts” reading and a health outcome of your choice, you will use peer-reviewed journal articles and other reputable references to explain how these two factors are related to one another. You will then make a policy recommendation that would address this relationship and how it could lead to better health outcomes. This project will be split into multiple assignments, listed below. Additional details of each assignment will be distributed along the way

Use the headings in your outline and provide the following information in each section:

Background

Provide an initial summary of the context surrounding your selected health outcome. Make it clear what your chosen health outcome is. Make sure your selected Social Determinant of Health is also identified and included in your context summary. Include your Problem Statement (last sentence of this section).

Policy Options

(Subheadings: Option 1 – [Name of Policy or Intervention]; Option 2 – [Name of Policy or Intervention]; Option 3 – [Name of Policy or Intervention])

Identify your three (3) potential policies or interventions. Provide a brief overview of each. Forthe outline assignment, you do not need to include how each could potentially impact your health outcome. You also do not need to complete Step 6 for the Outline.

Conclusions and Implications

For your outline, you do not have to pick your policy option yet, but do begin a brief comparison and contrast of the three options you identified.
