Policy Window – When Lyme is in the Limelight
2019
This case from the Western Public Health Casebook 2019 provides a situation in which a policy analyst is providing key information on Lyme Disease for the Minister of Health. The Question Period notes need to provide information on the upcoming roundtable discussion, the Action Plan on Lyme Disease, while also being clear, concise, and jargon-free. The ultimate goal of the discussion is to provide a future direction for the Public Health Agency of Canada’s response to Lyme Disease, the development of which requires stakeholder engagement and consultation. The overall goal of this case study is to underline the importance of stakeholder analysis and management in defining future policy directions and program implementation.
This case contains guidance for instructors, including learning objectives and discussion questions. It is part of a 14-case collection written by students in the MPH class of the Schulich Interfaculty Program in Public Health at Western University, Canada.
