diabetes in low-income and minority communities – paper
(1) identify a public health issue/threat (diabetes in low-income and minority communities) and justify its prioritization;
(2) identify causal pathways by which the problem affects your chosen population and pointing to specific points of intervention;
(3) evaluate the pros and cons of potential strategies (2-3) for using law and policy tools to address the problem; and
(4) (bulk of paper) describing your recommended strategy, justifying it in terms of the pros and cons of various approaches (with regard to effectiveness, ethical considerations, political feasibility, and any other considerations you identify), and thoroughly addressing matters of the relevant legal authority of identified actors and potential legal challenges by identified stakeholders.
The key substance of the completed paper will be your recommendation of a proposed health promotion or protection strategy that is facilitated or supported using legal tools. It might be helpful to think of yourself as an attorney/advocate who has been engaged to recommend a course of action to address a particular public health problem within a particular population.
