Health policy that addresses a population health risk

Select one health policy that addresses a population health risk or disparity. Policies to consider may be at the unit, organizational, community, local, or state level.

Assess the congruence of the policy with current national population health goals and objectives (such as the Healthy People initiative, or another national initiative). Based upon your analysis, consider recommendations to further address the health risk or disparity, as well as interprofessional opportunities to enhance health outcomes.
