2. Diagnose and investigate health problems and hazards in the community (e.g., Epidemic investigations/ state public health labs).]]> 2018-01-27 15:15:46 UTC https://padlet.com/lopezd2012/tsp8g9yhsbyk/wish/225298423 lopezd2012 https://padlet.com/lopezd2012/tsp8g9yhsbyk/wish/225301888 The main goal of policy development as stated in its name is to develop evidence based recomendations and analysis of options to help guide implementation. There are three main essential services under policy development:
1. Inform, educate, and empower citizens about health issues (e.g.,health education campaigns)
2. Movilize community partnership and action to identify and solve health problems (e.g.,lead control programs).
3. Develop policies and plans to support individual and community health efforts (e.g., newborn screening & follow-up programs for genetic and congenital diseases).
