1) Throughout this semester, we explored how policy has historically, (and presently) been influenced by
personal beliefs, political discourse, religious ideology and the impact it’s had on marginalized
populations.
In the Chapter “Leading From Science to Policy to Practice”, of the book entitled: My Quest for Health
Equity: Notes on Learning While Leading by former US Surgeon General David Satcher, one of the
takeaways is: “The dynamic interaction between science, policy and practice is basic to progress to
healthy living”.
Considering that statement and course content, please provide a critically thought out and written
response regarding this country’s commitment (or failure of commitment) to allowing social
welfare policy to be driven by scientific evidence to pursue “healthy living” for its inhabitants.
Since the response is based solely on your opinion, to properly respond to this question, you must
thoroughly defend your position and provide clear examples that are supported by references from the
reading. A good response will consist of at least one full page of narrative. Deductions will be made for
responses that are too brief. (BE CLEAR and SPECIFIC)
