Public Policy on Teen Suicide
Who are the policy actors, and how do they influence your policy area? Policy actors in a particular area typically include formal and informal actors who are active in shaping policy. They include those who create policies, those who seek to influence policy and those who implement policy. Legislative committees, public agencies, interest groups, issue networks and research organizations are all examples of policy actors. Prepare a paper of 2-4 double-spaced pages (minimum 1000 words) that identifies and describes the actors in your policy area and how they influence your particular policy.
