Within the context of public health, policy development includes the advancement and implementation of public health law, regulations, or voluntary practices that influence systems development, organizational change, and individual behavior to promote improvements in health. Public health professionals play an important role in policy development by conducting policy-relevant research, communicating findings in a manner that facilitates action, developing partnerships, and encouraging the efficient use of public resources (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2015, para. 2). Policy analysis plays a critical role of the policy formulation and implementation process by facilitating understanding of the policy’s purposes, expected outcomes, and how it interacts with other policies as well as assessing the effectiveness of the implemented policy and to determine and initiate necessary modifications.

For this assignment, assume that you are a healthcare policy analyst for your state or local health department. Visit the Online Library to find a peer-reviewed article published within the last 10 years pertaining to public health research and practice or health policy reform. Utilizing the public policy analysis and public health research skills you acquired in this unit, write a three-page critique of the selected article that includes the following information.

a) Briefly introduce and summarize the article.

b) Explain if the author or authors’ arguments support the main point.

c) Define and critically analyze the major public health issue in the article.

d) Illustrate how you can utilize the information in the article to influence the policymaking process and public health policy and practice in your state or local health department.

e) Identify a relevant policy evaluation model you can employ to determine the best possible policy solution to the issue in the article.

Use APA format for your paper, including all references and in-text citations.

Write three paragraphs  fully addressing  what confirmation bias is

Primary Task Response: Within the Discussion Board area, write 350–500 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear and use examples to reinforce your ideas.

Find resources on transformational and transactional leadership. Respond to the following questions:

• Which leadership style do you think best describes Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Warren Buffet? Justify your answer. 
• Do you  define yourself as a transactional or transforming leader? Justify your answer

In addition to addressing all requirements of the assignments, model answer includes the following:

• Answers may vary on which style is related to each leader. However, your  justification should be based on clearly identifying the differences between transactional and transformational leadership. Transformational  leaders are very charismatic and impact change or transform people,      movements, or organizations by inspiration or motivation. Transactional leaders use exchange principles to lead and get compliance through reward and punishment.
• Transactional  leadership is appropriate when the leader needs compliance from a team,      and transformational leadership is appropriate when you are trying to make major changes in people, systems, or organizations.
• Reflect upon your leadership style. Your responses should be correctly linked to  literature-supported definitions of the leadership styles.
• Properly cite the required reading materials.

Before a Crisis

The American Red Cross, along with the Salvation Army and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) are the first national-level responders to many disasters in the United States and, depending on the scope of the disaster, sometimes abroad. Many professional associations coordinate with the American Red Cross, including the American Counseling Association, the National Board of Certified Counselors, and other national, state, and regional professional associations. Additionally, local first responders, fire fighters, police officers, and medics contribute to response efforts. Planning for crisis events is the first step in any response to a crisis. Thinking through a future crisis before it occurs facilitates communication and cooperation among agencies, which provides a strong foundation for a successful crisis response.

To prepare for this Discussion:

• Review Chapter 17 in your course text, Crisis Intervention Strategies, paying particular attention to local and national agencies involved in disaster response.
• Review the article, “Five Years after Katrina: Progress Report on Recovery, Rebuilding and Renewal,” to identify state and local Mississippi agencies that responded to Hurricane Katrina. Consider the importance of knowing what agencies are available for your use prior to a crisis/disaster. Then consider how similar agencies in your area might respond.
• Review the article, “The Proof of the Planning is in the Platting: An Evaluation of Florida’s Hurricane Exposure Mitigation Planning Mandate,” and think about the various planning issues these authors studied. Then consider how you would use the information offered if you were planning for a crisis or disaster.
• Review the article, “Disaster Planning and Preparedness: A Human Story,” and pay particular attention to the importance of planning and inter-organizational cooperation.
• Select three crisis-response organizations that operate within your state and analyze the roles of each and the relationships among the three.

With these thoughts in mind:

Post by Day 4 a brief description of the three crisis-response organizations you selected. Then describe the roles of each organization as well as the relationships between and among them. Be specific and provide examples.
