Assignment 5:
Research and report on the advocacy process for one health policy issue at your state level. Detail the steps taken to move this issue forward legislatively. Examine the collaboration of interest groups and stakeholders in this process. What were the barriers? Where is this policy issue now? Is it law? Did it fail to pass? Interviewing nursing leaders/advocates, research articles, and other sources will bring this process to light. Nursing organizations are valuable resources and have background stories on these processes; feel free to call and discuss the legislative issue with them.
Create a PowerPoint presentation with a minimum of 20 slides, including a title, introduction, conclusion, and reference slide, with detailed speaker notes. Use at least six scholarly sources.
