The final policy paper requires students to conduct adequate research on a Maternal Child Health policy of your choosing. This policy can be on the federal, state or local level.
Students are required to interview at least one person who works directly in policy and provide insight to the background, fundamentals, implementation, policy and programs.
Furthermore, students must provide their own analysis and recommendations for bettering the policy.
