Policies in Countering Drug Abuse Analytical Review Students will be required to write a Policy Brief on a topic of their choice. This assignment will

contribute to building Competency 3 – helping students to present the knowledge that leads to

action, on critical policy issues. In the process, students will also strengthen their policy analysis

skills, learning how to analyze current policies and their contribution to addressing specific

issues, how to present their analysis, and how to use it to develop effective changes.

The policy brief will be 4-5 pages long (excluding references), and will address the following:

(1) Identification of policy issue addressed – magnitude, scope, population affected;

(2) Identification of the human rights violated by this issue;

(3) Brief analysis of past and current policies in relation to the identified issue – students will

discuss the contribution of such policy responses to addressing the issue;

(4) Proposed changes – students will conclude with recommendations that will improve current

policy responses, and contribute to address the identified issue.

In preparation for this assignment, students will be provided with several examples of policy

briefs, and specific structures they can follow in developing their own briefs.

Not counting the reference page, I need at a minimum 4 full pages.

I will do a heavy plagiarism check, this needs to be original.

Quality matters.

Please only bid if you have the expertise to take on this assignment. Social work, policy, advocacy, social science, writing experience only please.

Also please clear policy with me first because I do not want a paper on something I am not in support of or that leans towards something I am against.

Most of all, thank you for considering, bidding, and/or taking on this assignment for me. I am readily available for questions.

COMMUNICATION is key.
