Question

1. The article “Public Health Policy” describes reasons for challenges for the lack of effective implementation of global policies that favor public health. Please describe at least four in detail.

Answer 1

* Circumstances outside the implementing agency impose crippling restrictions.
Lack of time and adequate resources
* It is unlikely that all the prerequisites will be present at the same time
* It only takes the perspective of those at higher levels of government and neglects the role of other actors
The risk of overestimating the impact of government action (ignoring other factors)
* Difficult to implement when there is no single dominant policy or agency
* Policies change when implemented
* The required resource group is not available
