Describe the process of policy development, implementation, and modification.

Learning Goal: I’m working on a public health discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

The process of policy development and implementation is one in which an idea is conceptualized, developed, adopted, and evaluated. Policy development is rarely a linear process; instead, the domains of the policy cycle overlap or occur out of order. Ideally, a problem is defined, potential policy solutions are identified, analyzed, and prioritized, and then the best solution is implemented.

Based on what you learned this week, address the following requirements:

• Describe the process of policy development, implementation, and modification.
• Discuss transition from policy to a legislative proposal.

Embed course material concepts, principles, and theories (which require supporting citations) in your initial response along with at least one scholarly, peer-reviewed journal article. Keep in mind that these scholarly references can be found in the Saudi Digital Library by conducting an advanced search specific to scholarly references.
