Policy Brief Instructions
The policy brief assignment involves creating a policy brief from you, the Secretary of Health, to the Minister of Finance. As you write the brief, you must put yourself into the role of the Secretary of Health.

The policy brief should answer the following questions:
• What is the nature and magnitude of the problem?
• Who is affected by it?
• What are the determinants of and risk factors for the problem?
• What are the health, economic, and social consequences of the problem?
• What few priority steps do you recommend be taken to address the problem, at least cost, in doable, sustainable, and fair ways? What is your rationale for these
recommendations?
Write the summary and the topic sentence as if it is the only thing that the Minister of Finance is going to read. Your evidence-based story line should include who gets the disease, why they get it, why the reader should care, and how the problem can be addressed in the fastest, least- expensive manner possible. When you make your argument, give information about the relative cost-effectiveness of your proposal with evidence
