Public Policy Leave Behind Materials
Public policy affects me as a citizen and especially as a health professional. With a country that struggles with nutrition and health related diseases, it is my responsibility as a health professional to research and understand current nutrition-related public policy issues. This assignment provided me with the opportunity to prepare an email to my state legislator, expressing my views related to the "Treat and Reduce Obesity Act". I also prepared leave-behind materials that would be given to the state legislative office. This project helped me become more aware of the current nutrition-related policies and taught me how I could become involved.
