This section of the website will provide guidelines for teachers and students of Global Health on the preparation of policy briefs. This section includes an outline of the objectives of the briefs, the content requirements for the briefs, the required format of the briefs, and the criteria against which the briefs might be graded. This section also includes model papers on nutrition, womens health, childrens health, and infectious diseases that have been prepared by students of the George Washington University. These are meant to serve as examples for teachers and students of policy briefs for a Global Health course that uses Skolniks Essentials of Global Health as its textbook. For the Student Content Objectives for the Brief: Each paper should be written as a policy brief from you, the Secretary of Health, to the Minister of Finance (through your own Minister, of course). As you write the brief, it will be helpful to put yourself into the role of the Secretary. Each paper needs to be written in a manner that will allow the aide of the Minister of Finance to brief him on it in about 3 minutes in a car on the way to some meeting, since that is what often really happens. The writing style of these briefs has extensive real-world application because it is very similar to the briefs you will write in many different types of jobs when you graduate. An explicit aim of this assignment is to help you learn to write such briefs. Each paper should be written about a country in a different region of the world. This will allow you to use the papers to explore health and development issues in a variety of settings. The paper should answer the following questions: What is the nature and magnitude of the problem? Who is affected by it? What are the risk factors for the problem? What are the economic and social consequences of the problem? What few priority steps do you recommend be taken to address the problem and what is your rationale for these recommendations? For the Student Required Format: Papers must all be in the same format: each paper should be four pages long, double-spaced, in 12 point Times New Roman font. The paper should have no typos and no grammatical errors. The paper should be written in a very clear and very crisp manner, with short sentences, short paragraphs, and as few words as possible. For the Student - Outline of the Brief: Each paper should follow the outline below and address each of the following topics. Introduction Nature and Magnitude of the Problem Persons Affected Risk Factors Economic and Social Consequences of the Problem Recommended Cost-effective Action Steps and Your Rationale for Recommending Them Please also note, however, that in the real world you would also have to tell the minister how much your recommendations would cost and how he might pay for them. You will not need to do that for this assignment, since this is an introductory course!! For the Student - How to Write an Introduction for your Brief: Each paper should start with a single paragraph that summarizes for the minister all of the points you want to make in the brief. That summary paragraph would read something like the following: About xxx people die every year of TB in our country. The incidence of TB is YYY. About UUU people in our country get drug-resistant TB every year and about HHH% of those who are infected with HIV have active TB disease. TB affects largely the urban and rural poor and stems from poverty, general ill health, and the lack of coverage of our health services. TB causes illness for an extended period, stops people from working, causes them to spend large amounts on health, and leads many families into poverty. DOTS is a low cost approach to TB diagnosis and treatment that we are not using sufficiently. We must immediately expand our DOTs program, starting in the north, where the disease burden is highest. We must also pay special attention to the diagnosis and management of drug resistant TB and to TB/HIV co-infections. I expand on these comments below. For the Student - Paper Topics: Paper number 1 will summarize, for a country of your choice, the key nutrition issues faced by the country, who they most affect, key risk factors, their link with health and economic development, and what might be done to address them in cost-effective ways. Paper number 2 will summarize for a country of your choice the key issues in womens or childrens health, who is most affected by them, key risk factors, the links between these issues with social and economic development and what might be done to enhance the health of women and children in the poorest countries in cost-effective ways. Paper number 3 will summarize for a country of your choice the burden of a particular infectious disease, the people most affected by this disease, key risk factors, the economic and social costs of this disease, and what might be done to address this disease in cost-effective ways. (Faculty should note that these topics are the ones used in Professor Skolniks course.) For the Faculty and Student - Grading and Brief Standards: The briefs will be graded on the basis of: Following the guidelines of the assignment Clarity Appropriate use of evidence and data, both about the country about which the student is writing and comparative countries Reasonableness of the students conclusions and recommendations     PAGE  PAGE 1 2010 Jones & Bartlett Learning, LLC 4OPZ   G H  - 7 E G   01LTU}+02׹ h 6hjh hnh1uh 6 hjh hs"h 6 h1uh h h 5h1uh 5hL4&h|56 h|5h1uh|5CPi   G H   -.EF & F gd  & Fgd gd $a$gd Fqr01TU'(MN`ano & F gd gd  & F gd 23\]}~PQ  & Fgd  & Fgd gd gd ]o}~OPQo{!*M\fy߼Ȳߐߐߐߐߐߐzjh$0JUh|jh|U h aJhjh 5hjh 56\] h \]hjh \]hjh 5KHaJhjh KHaJhjh 56aJhjh aJh1uh 5 h 5 hjh h .gh]hgd$ &`#$gd|  & Fgd h h|0JmHnHuh|h$jh$0JU h$0J.:p / =!"#$% 666666666vvvvvvvvv666666>6666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666hH666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666@@@ 1uNormalCJ_HaJmH sH tH DA@D Default Paragraph FontRi@R  Table Normal4 l4a (k(No List BOB 1uOutline1$ & FKHaJ@O@ 1uOutline2  & FKHaJ@O@ 1uOutline3  & FKHaJ@O"@ 1uOutline4  & FKHaJ6O26 1uOutlineKHaJ8A81u Current List1 FDRD L4&0 Balloon TextCJOJQJaJ*a*1uStyle1 F<q< L4&0 Char CharCJOJQJaJ4@4 $Header  !4 @4 $Footer  !.)@. $ Page Number0PiGH   -.EFqr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!H!!!!!!y!PiGH   -.EFqr0 1 T U     ' ( M N ` a n o 2 3 \]}~PQg0000000000000000000000 00 00 00 00 000000000000 00 00 00 00 00 000000000000000000000000 0 0 0 0000000000000000000 00 000@0@000@  IIILF  L!!w{<E3 ( N o ; 1:1K4x},%άLL.+r;-, ]7,LJ?<#pAyd]B1F1)Nx},N1u\1c^1h^`OJQJo(hHh^`OJQJo(hHohpp^p`OJQJo(hHh@ @ ^@ `OJQJo(hHh^`OJQJo(hHoh^`OJQJo(hHh^`OJQJo(hHh^`OJQJo(hHohPP^P`OJQJo(hHp^`pOJQJo(hH^`OJQJo(hHop^p`OJQJo(hH@ ^@ `OJQJo(hH^`OJQJo(hHo^`OJQJo(hH^`OJQJo(hH^`OJQJo(hHoP^P`OJQJo(hH h^`OJQJo( ^`OJQJo(o pp^p`OJQJo( @ @ ^@ `OJQJo( ^`OJQJo(o ^`OJQJo( ^`OJQJo( ^`OJQJo(o PP^P`OJQJo(p^`pOJQJo(hH ^`OJQJo(o pp^p`OJQJo( @ @ ^@ `OJQJo( ^`OJQJo(o ^`OJQJo( ^`OJQJo( ^`OJQJo(o PP^P`OJQJo(p^`pOJQJo(hH ^`OJQJo(o pp^p`OJQJo( @ @ ^@ `OJQJo( ^`OJQJo(o ^`OJQJo( ^`OJQJo( ^`OJQJo(o PP^P`OJQJo( hh^h`OJQJo( ^`OJQJo(o pp^p`OJQJo( @ @ ^@ `OJQJo( ^`OJQJo(o ^`OJQJo( ^`OJQJo( ^`OJQJo(o PP^P`OJQJo( hh^h`OJQJo( ^`OJQJo(o pp^p`OJQJo( @ @ ^@ `OJQJo( ^`OJQJo(o ^`OJQJo( ^`OJQJo( ^`OJQJo(o PP^P`OJQJo(^`o(. ^`hH. pL^p`LhH. @ ^@ `hH. ^`hH.
