– Identify the policy level – federal, state or local.
– What is the focus/aim? What is the relationship to your focal area – does this provide funding or establish legal restrictions?
– How is it funded, and who manages distributing the funds or oversees the programs?

Pro tip: many health policies have programs with dedicated websites where you can get more information – be sure to include it on the REFERENCE LIST!
