Obesity Policy BriefPolicy Brief InstructionsIn general, a policy brief outlines the rationale
for choosing a particular policy recommendation or course of action in a current policy
debate. The purpose of the brief is to convince your target audience of the urgency of the
current problem and the need to adopt a particular policy or course of action. You must
choose a designated racial or social health disparity. You must analyze the problem,
examine several potential policies that may solve this problem, and provide your own
recommended policy solution. Please provide biblical support for your recommendation as
well. Describe how specific Scripture applies.Use any of the following official publications to
assist you in finding an appropriate health disparity on which to base your policy: CDC,
AHRQ, HHS, HRSA, WHO , OMH, 2020.Good policy briefs are 2-4 pages long, are focused on a
single issue, are evidence-based, and are persuasive in nature. A policy brief is different
from a traditional academic research paper in that it is written to a specific audience (either
the general public and/or decision makers). Policy briefs also typically include visuals.
Therefore, your brief should include at least one visual that adheres to principles of good
visual communication (is labeled well, explained in the brief, is referred to, appears on the
page in a way that is spatially appropriate, etc.).Please use the course document “Guide to
Preparing Policy Brief” to assist you.The Policy Brief should follow the CDC’s Policy Making
Process and include these elements:Title Page/ Title of the paperRequired Content:Step 1:
Problem IdentificationDescribe the problem/public health issue that triggered the policy
recommendation (write an evidence-based problem statement). Context and importance of
the problem. (what is the problem? Provide information related to the current debate
surrounding the issue. Why is the issue significant? Should include multiple areas of
evidence-based references and resources.Step 2: Policy AnalysisAnalyze at least three
policy options based on the evidence surrounding their potential impacts (intended and
unintended), ethics (including equity), costs, administrative feasibility, and potential
constituency support. Think in terms of what has been done – or proposed – about the issue
so far? Have other organizations addressed it? Are there pending legislative or regulatory
proposals?Step 3: Strategy and Policy Development:Discuss your strategy for drafting a bill
around your policy recommendation (e.g. Which stakeholders or policy actors will you

2. engage? What information will you need?)Identify at least 2 potential enablers and 2
potential barriers to policy enactment, including the mitigation strategies for the
barriers.Provide a culturally and ethically appropriate, evidence-based argument for your
policy recommendation. Describe its feasibility. Please provide biblical support for your
recommendation as well. Describe how specific Scripture applies.Step 4: Policy
EnactmentDescribe the official procedures for enacting/passing your policy at the state or
federal level (i.e. the legislative process)Step 5: Policy implementationIdentify the
stakeholders/agencies involved in implementing your policyIdentify the resources (e.g.
human, financial, material) needed to implement your policyAnticipate and describe at least
two rules or administrative decisions that may be developed by implementing agencies in
