evaluation of a public health intervention and social policy and its impact on health inequities
Evaluate the public health intervention which is reclaiming public space transformation in Bogotá Colombia and its impact on health inequities.
It is important to clearly link this intervention to issue of health inequities (for example it could be aimed at reducing health inequities between neighborhoods and as a result between social groups).
Answer these questions and try to incorporate them into the essay
-What was the aim of this policy? Was it about reducing pollution? And/or was it about promoting physical activity? It’s important to have a clear idea about this.
-Which political actors came up with this intervention (e.g. politicians and/or civil society organizations and anti-pollution campaigners)? What is the background of the intervention and how it was influenced by political actors
-Do you think that the policy has been (or will be) successful in reaching this aim? Why, or why not? Could there be any unintended consequences that have an adverse effect on health? E.g., has polluting traffic mainly been diverted to other areas (e.g. poor neighborhoods), rather than really reducing traffic?
-Which neighborhoods and social groups benefit most from this intervention? Is it mainly the rich or the poor areas that were transformed?
Try not to focus on the environmental and economic impact or if included to be discussed in relation to health outcomes so as not to go off topic

Think about which health inequities (e.g., between educational groups; between men and women; between urban and rural areas, etc.) are most interesting to consider in the specific case of the country and the intervention of your choice.
Try to use a mix of policy documents, empirical evidence and theoretical literature to inform your answer.

It is important that the essay is set out in paragraphs using subheadings and with a high standard of spelling and grammar.

The essay should end with a conclusion that does not only summarize what you have been doing, but also goes beyond your initial argument, shows what has been learned and critically assesses the limitations of the evaluation provided in the essay.
