Letter to the Editor: Population Health Policy Advocacy

Develop a letter to the editor of a peer-reviewed academic or professional nursing journal based on the policy proposal that you created for Assessment 2.

Choose from one of the journals on the Ultimate List of Nursing Journals and go to that journal’s Web site to find out the requirements for submitting a letter to the editor, such as format requirements, topics, and word counts. Make sure you select a nursing journal that covers the topic about which you are going to write.

If you want to use another journal that is not on this list, please make sure the journal does address health care, because this is the purpose of the assessment.

The goal of your letter is to be informative about the policy that you developed for Assessment 2, while also being persuasive about the need for and benefit of similar policies in other health care settings.

The bullet points below correspond to the grading criteria in the scoring guide. Be sure that your submission addresses all of them.
