New Lesson Plan: Debating Policy to Improve Population Health

This new lesson plan pulls from the Collateral Damage episode and uses the Marshall Islands as a case study to debate policy approaches to improving population health. In the process, students explore the influence of power and lobbying on policy decisionmaking.

More lesson plans:
•   Disease and Social Policy in the American South: A Case Study of the Pellagra Epidemic
•   Place Matters: Exploring Our Neighborhoods
