This week you will be reflecting on key health determinants and the use of research and evidence-based practice which may impact the development of population health measures and policy initiatives. The article by Cook et al. (2014) titled, Support for smoke free multi-unit housing policies among racially and ethnically diverse, low income seniors in South Florida, is a prime example on key stakeholders setting an agenda, conducting a survey (research study), and facilitating change. Please address the following questions based on your analysis and understanding of the article:
Who are the stakeholders?
Based on your analysis of the literature review embedded in the study, do you think the authors do a good job in framing a policy change?
Do you think this policy change has potential implications at other locations/facilities? If so, how?
What do you think are next steps in this program of research and policy?
