Policy Issue Summary

    Write a SPECIFIC data and research around mental health policy/disparities in Alaska. I submitted this to paper help previously and got a very vague and general paper written. I put the assignment at 2 pages because I am hoping to get some good research/data added into the paper, not start from scratch. Please let me know if another page needs to be added. I've also attached the current paper and the rubric feedback. "You will create (individually) a five to seven page “problem statement and policy context” brief around your chosen issue for Alaska Policy Makers, such as the Legislature. In this brief, summarize the history and current status of health policy issues around a 2030 Healthy People Topic (Objective #1) and use health data to support an argument that this area needs to see a policy change (Objective #3). This assignment should highlight health disparities present in the current policy environment (Objective #3) and identify and describe ethical issues related to this policy issue (Objective #2). Ethical issues may include the Belmont Report identified issues of “Respect for Persons,” “Beneficence,” and “Justice” or disparities in health outcomes or funding, among other issues. Focus on describing how (if) the status quo is increasing/decreasing health disparities and addressing other ethical issues. Your brief should identify: Who are the key players involved in this issue? What health data exists around this issue? What health disparities (if any) exist in this health policy area? How is the status quo increasing or reducing disparities? What ethical considerations are related to policy in this area? How are they being addressed? What kind of information will policy makers need to inform policy decisions going forward?"
