indigenous health outcomes.
Paper details:
For this paper, i am giving the writer freedom to write a better title but the specific topic of interest is indigenous health outcomes. in the attached file i have a small annotated bibliography with some sources you can add to your methods section if you feel they fit nicely. the overarching goal is to show that there are poor health policy and outcomes for indigenous people in Canada (specifically) and examine the details. by details i mean make sure that in your essay you break down the topic into paragraphs- i.e. healthcare, education ect…discuss each determinant of health and the policies around it. please let me know about any clarification you need, i have a previous paper (research) that i received from this service and it was done very well, i’m hoping for the same result here. i would like to stress that you cite the information you write because this has to be able to pass turnitin. below i’m copying the assignment instructions and marking rubric as a guide for you to work.
In your final essay, you will:
1) Identify, describe and analyze a health policy issue/question of your choice
2) Identify the values that underlie the development of the policy (e.g., the belief
that all people should have access to publicly funded health care).
3) In your analysis identify the equity dimensions of the policy (e.g., Does the
policy impact different groups in society in different ways. Does the policy
discriminate against particular groups or individuals?).
4) Give an assessment as to whether or not the policy that has been developed has
been a success, a failure, a partial success, etc. and why you have come to that
conclusion. Make a suggestion about what would strengthen the policy
response.
The final essay will be expected to be 2000 words (approximately 4-5 pages double
spaced not including references) and should demonstrate the ability to apply the
material learned in this course plus the use of relevant secondary literature to analyze a
topic related to health policy.
