Appraising Policy Framework Effectiveness
Policy models provide the framework for moving policy forward. However, not all policy models will be effective for all priorities. Therefore, it is important to appraise policy models with the specific advocacy priority in mind.
For this Assignment, you will choose from three policymaking frameworks, the one that best fits your advocacy priority. You will construct a written response, with evidence, explaining the selected framework, providing specific detail regarding how it is the best fit and will move the priority forward.
- Review the twelve policy models outlined in Health Policy: Applications for Nurses and Other Health Professionals (Chapter 9, pp. 119-125)
- Consider which of the twelve policy models might best fit your priority determined in Week 2.
- You are encouraged to search the literature for examples of how the selected policymaking model has been used in the past.
Submit a 2-page written response detailing your selection of one policymaking framework that best supports your priority—particularly, getting your priority on the agenda.
In your response, explain why the framework best describes how you might proceed in effectively moving your advocacy priority forward in the policymaking process.
Support your response with evidence.

What is the impact of contextual factors on advocacy and policy? Contextual factors can range from internal (the organization, the practice, the environment, the culture, etc.) to external (laws, policies, politics, regulations, etc.). However, whether originating internally or externally, contextual factors have the capability of advancing or hindering an advocacy priority.
For this Discussion, you will consider how contextual factors impact policy making, focusing specifically on how these factors might impact your advocacy priority. Consider what contextual factors might promote getting your priority on the agenda, as well as those that might work against it.
Post a response detailing the following:
- Which contextual factors will promote getting your advocacy priority on the agenda? ,
- Which contextual factors might work against it?APA
