traffickingAssignment:Population Health AdvocacyHuman trafficking, extreme poverty,
preventable diseases, the opioid crisis and the lack of adequate low-income housing are a
few current societal concerns worthy of social change. Nurses and healthcare leaders are in
a good position to shape and influence health care policy.Think of a cause you believe in
strongly. Access the website of your elected officials either at the local, state, or federal level
using the following link: https://www.usa.gov/elected-officials/or use the website of your
choice. Explore some of the issues and committees your legislators are involved in and
select at least one that interest you or align with your beliefs. You may also contact your
legislator’s office and speak to his or her legislative assistant by calling the U.S. Capitol
switchboard operator at (202) 224-3121 for the Senate and (202) 225-3121 for the House.
Legislator assistants are very knowledgeable about the legislator’s agenda and can provide
a wealth of information.This assignment will be at least 1500 words or more. This week

stakeholders, and the policy making process and write a paper that addresses the
following:Describe the policy issue, policy problem of interest or a particular bill that your

to strengthen the policy?Briefly define the role you would play as an advocate for the
healthcare consumer and healthcare professionals.Explain how the policy impacts the

Include a title page and reference page in APA format. These do not count towards the
minimal word amount for this assignment. Your essay must include an introduction and a
conclusion.References: Use the appropriate APA style in-text citations and references for all
resources utilized to answer the questions. A minimum of two (2) scholarly sources are
required for this assignment.ORDER NOW FOR ORIGINAL, PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPERSYou
must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and
grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect
your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical
mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before
handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend
proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to
uncorrected mistakes.Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface.

2. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to
read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to
compress it into fewer pages.Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-
spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between
letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are
unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.The paper must be neatly
formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each
page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If
it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
