I posted about policy analysis/deconstruction. You should follow the outline format to organize your paper. Be sure that your citations match the information you are providing, if you are quoting be sure you use quotation marks ” ” and the page # along with the citation. If you have other questions let me know – but if you have questions you can email me.
Here is the copy of the assignment:
Policy Project
For this project you will select an issue and revise/rewrite a corresponding piece of policy. You can select any issue as long as it relates to aging. Use something of interest or personally, professionally, academically. You may decide to examine mental health policy (funding, treatment provision) services – senior centers, hospice, health policy, nursing homes, etc.
When selecting a policy, you need to only review a small portion of it not necessarily the entire policy (some policies can be hundreds of pages). The policy project should consist of an outline and overview of the issue or problem that precipitated the policy, the policy itself, critique/analysis and recommendations.
While this is not a traditional paper and you can use non-scholarly resources you should have some in there. You must use APA format and cite within the text as well as reference at the end. Please use the outline type below

Policy and Policy Deconstruction –
How we view, develop, analyze and deconstruct policy is important. Policy should be like a shark if it is not moving (evolving) it dies or meaning it has outlived its usefulness. I am a fan of Eugene Bardach’s Eight-fold Path to Policy Analysis. Over the years it seems I was the only one who was a fan. For your reading pleasure I have added in the content an earlier version of the book. It is nearly 200 pages long – here is a very brief synopsis that I have come up with:
Steps to Policy Analysis – Eugene Bardach – Eight Fold Path to Policy Analysis
1. Define the Problem: The problem should discuss the undesired gap between as-is condition and to-be condition. The most important policy problems are ill-structured, wicked problems that are difficult to resolve. It is important to note that if you misdiagnose the problem, the policy solution is likely to fail. What Bardach is saying is that this is crucial that if you do not define the problem correctly everything else that follows will fail.
2. Assemble Some Evidence: To communicate the problem to the audience, you need to be sure that there is evidence that the problem does indeed exist. This evidence should be strong enough to make your audience care about the problem and want to read further about solutions to address the problem. (Audience can be defined as a board of directors, legislators, community groups, government…)
3. Construct the Alternatives: Alternatives should be ways to address or eliminate the policy problem. In constructing alternatives, one can utilize several techniques: (1) copy an existing policy without modification, (2) copy an existing policy and modify it to fit your needs, (3) build a policy utilizing generic tools, and (4) build a policy from scratch with creativity and brainstorming. Alternatives should be tightly linked to your problem definition, specific enough to be actionable, relevant to your client’s resources, and materially different from one another. You should try to include at least three to five alternatives and at least one of these should be a “do-nothing” option. It is important not to choose dummy alternatives or pick a favorite alternative, as this will disrupt the analysis’s validity and reliability. (This provides you with the opportunity to test things out – almost like a pilot to be sure that you have it right or you are on the right path – this does not happened in a vacuum – you need to involve others)
4. Select the Evaluation Criteria: Criteria are used to measure the outcomes and impacts of each alternative. Bardach describes them as the “mental standards for evaluating the results of action.” The criteria should be measurable and quantifiable. There are several criteria commonly utilized by policy analysts: (1) efficacy, (2) cost, (3) equity, (4) administrative feasibility, (5) unintended consequences, (6) sustainability, and (7) political feasibility. The criteria will enable you to evaluation each alternative across the same metrics in order to ultimately determine the best policy option. Therefore, criteria should be chosen based on outcomes and impacts policy leaders would like to see from a policy option.
5. Project the Outcomes: Evaluate each policy alternative based on the criteria. Sometimes, this process will enable you to clearly eliminate policy alternatives that do not produce desired outcomes and impacts. However, it is often difficult to pinpoint the most effective policy alternative from this process.
6. Confront the Trade-Offs: As a clear policy “winner” is often not produced from the above analysis, it is important to look at trade-offs between the policy alternatives to identify the best alternative. This includes conducting a cost-benefit analysis, cost-effectiveness analysis, or multi-attribute analysis. Ultimately, you should be able to produce 2-3 crystal clear sentences on what your clients gets and gives up from choosing a certain policy alternative.
7. Decide: Choose a policy alternative based on your analysis.
8. Tell Your Story: In recounting the process to the client, it is important to clearly tell the story; trade detail for brevity. You should consider three types of audiences, (1) those that will spend 30 seconds reading your analysis, (2) those that will spend 3 minutes, and (3) those that will spend 30 minutes. Your analysis should provide enough information to satisfy all three types of readers and enable them to understand your process and ultimate recommendation. By following these steps, you will ensure that you effectively and efficiently assess a policy before implementation or making alterations. This will guarantee that policy leaders understand all of the potential positive and negative outcomes from a specific policy choice and action. The idea is that policy is like a shark – if it doesn’t move (evolve) it dies or it’s usefulness dies out. It is essential to constantly reevaluate the policy to see if: 1. The problem/issue still exists 2. If the policy/intervention is still meeting the needs of the clientele 3. Have the clientele changed and/or have their needs changed This is why defining the problem is essential and you need to involve all of the stakeholders in this process. Who is impacted, who has access to resources who are going to be the leaders? You can not do this from the top down. It is vital that it be grassroots – the people that are most affected. If there is not buy-in – if people feel that they are not acknowledged, not listened to, don’t have a seat at the table the policy is meaningless and will have either a very short life-span or do more harm than good. I have added Bardach’s book but you are not required to read it.

The emission of industrial air pollution and its influence on respiratory illness mortality.
The supporting research reveals a strong link between industrial air pollution and respiratory illnesses. Pollutants emitted by industrial operations, such as particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, and sulfur dioxide, have been shown to impact respiratory health negatively, leading to a rise in death rates. The research also emphasizes the disproportionate burden of respiratory disorders in populations near industrial zones with greater pollution levels.
The need to identify the precise impact of industrial air pollution on respiratory disease-related mortality is the issue that my research will address. While prior research has proven a broad link between air pollution and respiratory health outcomes, there has been a lack of detailed investigations concentrating on the influence of industrial emissions on death rates. By addressing this issue, my research hopes to add to the body of knowledge and guide policy choices to minimize industrial pollution’s negative consequences.
My research examines the link between industrial air pollution and respiratory illness mortality. I want to provide evidence-based results that illustrate the scope of the issue and its public health ramifications. My work aims to promote awareness, advise preventative actions, and encourage the development of tailored treatments to minimize respiratory disease-related mortality by identifying the unique dangers associated with industrial emissions.
My study will address a gap in the literature by doing extensive research on the direct relationship between industrial air pollution and respiratory illness mortality. While previous research has examined the link between air pollution and respiratory health, few have explicitly examined industrial emissions’ role in death rates. As a result, my study attempts to fill this void by offering particular insights into the influence of industrial pollution on respiratory disease-related fatalities.
Air pollution has been thoroughly researched, and the health consequences are well documented. Mueller, Nieuwenhuijsen, and Rojas-Rueda (2020) investigated the quantitative health effect and illness burden linked with traffic-related air pollution. Their results highlight the negative impact of air pollution on human health, namely respiratory disorders. Similarly, Raguraman and Sundarabalan (2023) used statistical models to study the influence of environmental variables on air pollution-related respiratory disorders, stressing the link between air pollution and respiratory health. These studies lighten the negative consequences of air pollution on public health. Additionally, projections on the impact of integrated policy action on air pollution-related mortality highlight the critical need for effective measures to improve air quality and mitigate its negative consequences (The Economic Benefits of Air Quality Improvement in Arctic Council Countries, 2021).
My study’s research questions (RQs) are as follows:
What links industrial air pollution and respiratory illness death rates?
What role do various industrial pollutants play in respiratory disease mortality?
Is there any particular demographic or location that suffers disproportionately from industrial pollution-related respiratory illness mortality?
What are the viable treatments and policies might successfully decrease industrial air pollution-related death rates?
My investigation is supported by a paradigm that combines environmental health, epidemiology, and public health views. Using these disciplines, I want to investigate the health effects of industrial air pollution using rigorous scientific techniques, evaluate the data gathered, and make evidence-based suggestions to address the issue successfully. This paradigm will thoroughly understand the complicated links between industrial emissions, respiratory illnesses, and mortality and guide future research and policy initiatives in this area.

Prepare a 1–2-page justification for an IND amendment requesting permission from the FDA to supply sodium chloride (saline) for a pivotal Phase III study from an alternative manufacturer located outside the United States.
Background Information:
Getafix Pharmaceuticals plans to conduct a placebo-controlled study to assess the prognostic efficacy of IMP for diagnosing coronary artery disease. The protocol has been registered in ClinicalTrials.gov, with a Form FDA 3674 and clinical study protocol submitted to an effective IND. In addition to IMP, the protocol calls for intravenous administration of sodium chloride to all study participants. From many standpoints, Getafix is well-positioned to begin dosing patients, however, due to the impact of a recent hurricane on ABC Healthcare manufacturing facilities in Florida, current supplies of saline will soon expire. Following discussions with ABC Healthcare representatives, Getafix
is unsure of when saline supplies from Florida will be available. Since ABC facilities in Europe were not impacted by this natural disaster, Getafix would like to request use of Europe-manufactured saline for the Phase III study.
Communications between Getafix and the FDA Drug Shortage Division (which assists with commercial supply) and relevant IND review division have confirmed submission of an IND amendment requesting import of saline from outside the US is appropriate, and that the request should include detailson saline source, specification, and package insert.
Prompt:
Submit an IND amendment requesting permission to import saline to participating US sites. The request may be submitted via Section 1.11.4 Multiple Module Information Amendment

to locate details of an ex-US manufacturing facility that would be supportive of this request, for example, facility name, address, FDA Establishment Number, and DUNS. Describe the rationale for the request and importance of the clinical
study. Based on enrollment projections, provide a total estimated volume of saline for import.
Prepare the saline supply request in accordance with CTD format, supplemented with a cover letter and completed Form FDA 1571. Within the cover letter, briefly describe additional supporting documentation included within the IND amendment.
