Explain whether you believe there is an evidence base to support the proposed policy and explain why
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.
By Day 3 of Week 7
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.

Interview & Field Report
Please see the full description of this project before you begin.
In this stage, you will select a person from a different generation than you to interview about how they have used technology throughout their lives. (It is recommended that there be at least a 10-15 years age difference between you and the person you are interviewing in order to capture possible generational differences in viewpoint.) Be sure to consider both digital and non-digital technologies. You can choose someone older or younger than you, and you can talk with a relative or friend or find someone outside of your immediate circles to interview. If you are choosing someone younger, be sure to choose someone old enough or mature enough to reflect thoughtfully on the impact of technology on themselves. After your interview, you will write a report highlighting three things you learned.
Your interview can be formal or informal. A formal interview has an established set of questions you have prepared ahead of time and do not deviate much from during the interview. An informal interview involves talking with someone about the topic in a more general way and asking specific questions as topics arise.
Some suggested question you can consider working into a formal or informal interview include:
1. Do you associate any form of technology with a significant event or time in your life? Tell me more about that event or time.
2. What kinds of non-digital technology do you frequently use, or have you frequently used throughout your life?
3. Has there been any specific piece of technology in your life that helped transform the way you think about something in the world?
4. How do you use technology in your everyday life? Your creative life? Your work life?
5. Is there any specific digital or non-digital technology you would have a hard time living without? Why?
6. How has technology changed throughout your life?
7. Is there any technology you wish had not changed? Why?
8. Has there been a specific form of technology that contributed to who you are today? Tell me more.
9. How are you a different, better, worse, enhanced, safer, etc., person when you use a specific form of technology than when you don’t?
10. How has your self- worth or self-conception been affected by technology?
You can modify these questions or ask other questions that are appropriate for your interview situation. The above list contains suggested starting points. The idea here is to find connections between your interviewee’s life experiences, self-identity and technology.
After you conduct your interview, write a 750–1000-word field report in which you do the following:
1. Write an introduction in which you briefly describe the person you interviewed. Include some general relevant about their demographic background (year of birth, gender, where they live, etc.)
2. Indicate the date when the interview took place. This should be during the current semester.
3. Identify and describe three things you learned from your interview about the impact of specific artifacts or kinds of technology on this person. Do not relay a transcript from your interview. Choose the three things you think are most relevant to the theme of technology and human experience and that you think had the greatest personal significance to your interviewee.
4. Write a 5-7 sentence conclusion that reflects on your interviewee’s relationship with technology in general. You can consider some of the same kinds of things you did in part one for yourself. Would they be the same person they are today without a specific piece of technology? Did any of the technological artifacts they talk about change them during a specific time of their life? How is technology in general a part of who they are?
