Selection of one contemporary social issue of national magnitude.
The introduction should include the identification of the target population affected by the social issue. Use of recent research evidence, facts, and relevant statistics to demonstrate the severity of the social issue and its impact on the target population.
Identification of two federal policies that attempt to address the social issue for the target population. Provide a comprehensive overview of the two policies. This overview should include critical background information such as the year the policy was enacted, how the policy is funded, identification of the politicians, legislatures, and stakeholders that developed the policy. Also, provide information related to individuals and groups that actively oppose the policy, including the reasons for the opposition.
Use Jansson (2018) or CDC (2016) policy frameworks to analyze, interpret, and summarize the benefits and limitations associated with each of the two social policies. Discuss the need to address policy gaps and deficiencies. Use recent research evidence, facts, and statistics to support your analysis and interpretation of the two policies.
Use the CDC (2016) evaluation framework to assess each policy and compare and contrast the two federal policies. Use a table to create a visual depiction of the compare and contrast of the two policies.
Determine and discuss which policy presents the best legislative solution to help the target population. Likewise, discuss the policy that is least likely to support the needs of the target population in the long run. The CDC policy analysis table can be used as a tool to complete this section of the paper.
