Nurses in Political Leadership

A policy brief is a concise summary of a particular issue, the policy options to deal with it, and recommendations on the best option. Policy briefs must deliver critical information to the stakeholders who can influence a specific policy. For assignment 3 you will develop a policy brief building on your policy issues and theory explored in assignments 1 and 2.
The assignment should include:
- Title: A good title quickly communicates the contents of the brief in a memorable way.
- Introduction: This would be one paragraph that to include your health policy issue and the proposed policy action.
- Context or Scope of Problem: This section communicates the importance of the problem and aims to convince the stakeholders of the necessity of policy action.APA
