Discussion 1: Evidence Base in Design

When politics and medical science intersect, there can be much debate. Sometimes anecdotes or hearsay are misused as evidence to support a particular point. Despite these and other challenges, however, evidence-based approaches are increasingly used to inform health policy decision-making regarding causes of disease, intervention strategies, and issues impacting society. One example is the introduction of childhood vaccinations and the use of evidence-based arguments surrounding their safety.

In this Discussion, you will identify a recently proposed health policy and share your analysis of the evidence in support of this policy.

To Prepare:

  • Review the Congress website provided in the Resources and identify one recent (within the past 5 years) proposed health policy.
  • Review the health policy you identified and reflect on the background and development of this health policy.

Post a description of the health policy you selected and a brief background for the problem or issue being addressed. Which social determinant most affects this policy? Explain whether you believe there is an evidence base to support the proposed policy and explain why. Be specific and provide examples.

maternal mortality and prevent discrimination in maternity services through training healthcare
workers. According to the proposed healthcare policy, the HHS should focus on evidence-based
services to protect infants, expectant, and postpartum women (Maternal Health Quality
Improvement Act, n.d.). Furthermore, the policy recommends that the HHS use independent
research institutions to propose training to reduce healthcare discrimination. Lastly, the policy
highlights the importance of including infants and women in public awareness activities
(Maternal Health Quality Improvement Act, n.d). Thus, the policy seeks to provide grants that
