Summative project, you will prepare a policy brief on a health or medical issue that outlines scholarly research on the topic; on current policies related to the issue; on the role of culture, politics, and social inequalities in the issue; and on evidence-based suggestions for future policies and practices related to the issue. The final brief will consist of four parts:

current scholarly research on the topic
current policies related to the issue
the role of culture, politics, and social inequalities in the issue
evidence-based suggestions for future policies and practices related to the issue
Based on instructor feedback from your outline, write a 3300-3960 word about the issue you have chosen, using at least 10 scholarly sources. Be sure to develop the fourth section about evidence-based suggestions that you did not outline for the midterm. This is the section that shows that you can apply what you have learned in this class to critically think about and develop solutions to issues in the sociology of health and medicine.
