The Eightfold Path and Health Policy Analysis
Instructions
Impact of drug and substance abuse of the treatment of HIV/ AIDS
Apply some of the tools of policy analysis to the major project.
Using the Eightfold Path and Weiner’s companion guide, identify Impact of drug and substance abuse of
the treatment of HIV/ AIDS a health policy issue of interest and outline the step-by-step approach (i.e.,
Define the Problem, Assemble Some Evidence, Construct the Alternatives, etc.) by which you would seek
to analyze that issue. You may prepare your outline (eight pages in all) in bullet-point format, but must
support the elements of your outline in a brief narrative. (Please outline each element on its own page).
The outline need not be “final,” but should incorporate a few elements for each of the elements of the
Eightfold Path. Do not spend a great deal of time projecting the last two elements – Decide! and Tell
Your Story – but at least spell out processes for how you would address those elements. This outline will
form the basis of the longer policy analysis paper you will turn in at the end of the course (Module 7).
Your topic/ issue analyzed might change by then, but the importance of this assignment is to understand
and practice how to do a structured policy analysis following a well-established process. The outline will
continue to expand over the rest of this course.
Your outline should be approximately 8 pages, in APA Editorial Format with proper reference citations.
