Academic Writing Expectations Checklist
Rubric
This Assessment requires submission of one (1) document for all six parts of
your Final Assessment. Save your file as LE002_firstinitial_lastname (for
example, LE002_J_Smith).
There are many ways that regulations, policies, and special interest groups
affect the daily lives of individuals and health care organizations. The
following six scenarios relate to these issues and demonstrate the impact
policies have on our lives.
This assessment has six-parts. Click each of the items below for more
information on this Assessment.
Part One: State Legalization of Medical Marijuana and the Policy-Making
Process
o
o
Research the process by which state legalization of medical
marijuana in California (Proposition 215, the Compassionate Use
Act) occurred. Using the six-part policy-making process outlined
below, describe what happened at each stage. Please refer to
“Medical Marijuana Policy in the United States” provided with the
Assessment documents. You may identify another state that is
considering legalization of medical marijuana and is in the process
of going through this policy process, and where in the process they
currently find themselves.
The Six Stage Public Policy Process:
▪ Problem Identification: Problems that may potentially make
their way onto the public policy agenda are recognized. (1–2
paragraphs)
▪ Agenda Setting: Problems that are deemed worthy of attention
are placed on the agenda. (1–2 paragraphs)
▪ Policy Making: Various policies are crafted to deal with the
problem that has been set on the agenda and an official policy
is agreed upon. (1–2 paragraphs)
▪ Budgeting: The amount of money to spend on a policy must
be determined. (1–2 paragraphs)
▪ Policy Implementation: The public policy that has been
officially agreed upon is put into action. (1–2 paragraphs)
▪ Policy Analysis and Evaluation: The implemented policy is
evaluated for its effectiveness. (1–2 paragraphs)
For more information about the six steps, review the following website:

“Motorcycle Helmet Use—State Laws,” and the “The Effects of Michigan’s

review data on states with partial helmet laws.

o
Describe at least two impacts on injuries when Michigan weakened
its helmet use laws. (2–3 paragraphs)

bystanders. In what ways does not wearing a helmet while operating
a motorcycle impact the health and safety of other citizens? (1 page)
Part Three: Policies on Mandatory HIV Testing and Counseling
•
After researching this topic, describe at least one cost and one benefit
of mandatory HIV testing and counseling. Include ways it may or may not
increase population health. In addition, describe at least one barrier to
HIV testing and HIV counseling, and describe how overcoming these
barriers might increase population health. (1–2 pages)

from infection, and what impact these policies had on public health.
(1 page)
o Provide a rationale for these kinds of policies to someone who
argues that they infringe too much on individual liberties. (1 page)
Part Five: Healthcare Policies: Advocacy and Civic Engagement
•
•
Choose one of the following three issues and research the role advocacy
and civic engagement have played in advancing these issues:
o Prevention of smoking cigarettes in public spaces
o Reduction in child obesity rates
o Increased penalties for drunk driving
Describe the role that advocacy and civic engagement played in
advancing these policy-making efforts for the issue you selected. (1–2
pages)
Part Six: Special Interest Groups and Public Policy
•
•
How do special interest groups seek to affect public policy? Choose two
special interest groups and explain their purpose. (1 paragraph for each
interest group)
Choose an issue for each of the special interest groups and explain the
impact the special interest group has had on this issue. (2 paragraphs for
each interest group) (examples: American Hospital Association, American
Medical Association, NAACP, Coalition to Stop Gun Violence)
Go to National Interest Groups to find more special interest groups

Part Seven: Healthcare Policies: Advocacy and Civic Engagement
•
To better understand public perception of public health practices, interview
a friend, family member, or colleague regarding the advantage perceived
by state laws or state recommendations on one of the following topics:
o Prevention of childhood obesity through a healthy diet in school
meals,
o Adult immunization for COVID-19
o Required helmet laws for motorcyclists
Describe the topic you selected. Then, describe your interviewee in terms of
gender, age, and geographic location. Finally, explain your interviewee’s
perspective on public health practices, how that perception might be
influenced by his or her age, gender, or geographic location and whether you
shared any common concerns with your interviewee.
