identify and investigate the details of a health policy related to PEDIATRIC MENTAL HEALTH.
Although this is an individual assignment team members should coordinate to avoid duplicative efforts. I recommend that each team identify policies at the local (Bronx), state (NY), and federal level, and each team should take care to not repeat the same legislation within the team members. (You can pick which legislation but please let me know so I can inform my team members). Each team member’s individual results will add to the final team project. Group your individual posts in a team “thread”, but look over and comment on any of the other postings in the class (Pro tip: respond to other students’ postings by responding to their evaluation, go outside your group and review the entire class’ submissions).
- Identify policy related to your team focal area – include the name
Pro tip: use the library resources to find information on policy. It is also ok to google “health policy …” - Describe the policy
- Identify the policy level – federal, state or local.
- What is the focus/aim? What is the relationship to your focal area – does this provide funding or establish legal restrictions?
- How is it funded, and who manages distributing the funds or oversees the programs?
- How is it evaluated, and is it a permanent program or one that needs regular renewal?
Pro tip: many health policies have programs with dedicated websites where you can get more information –
