Overview: you will address the critical elements in the Evaluation of Policy section of your final project and write a letter to the stakeholders involved to describe and defend your proposed policy. Stakeholders could include policy makers, healthcare providers, insurers, and healthcare consumers.

Your letter should include background on the key health issue and your assumption of the positive and negative impacts inferred by existing policies (e.g., unintended consequences or public reaction). The document should not be based solely on emotion, though it should not be divorced of sentiment, as it needs to rouse the proper energy to effect change. The goal of the document is to convince the reader that your proposed policy will improve the U.S. healthcare system in terms of quality, costs, and accessibility.

Is Medication Effective at Treating Childhood Obesity? 
The widening scope of the obesity problem has prompted medical professionals to rethink old conceptions of the disorder and its causes. As researchers Yanovski and Yanovski (2002) have explained, obesity was once considered “either a moral failing or evidence of underlying psychopathology” (p. 592). But this view has shifted: Many medical professionals now consider obesity a biomedical rather than a moral condition, influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. Yanovski and Yanovski have further noted that the development of weight-loss medications in the early 1990s showed that “obesity should be treated in the same manner as any other chronic disease . . . through the long-term use of medication” (p. 592).
