1) What type of policy is it (i.e., is it an institutional policy like a campus policy or corporate policy? Is it legislative like a local ordinance or state/federal statute? Is it a regulation?)
2) What is the process that would be required to get the policy passed (i.e., would it need to be created by university administrators or the executives of a corporation? Would it need to be voted on and passed by a legislative body like congress or a local board of supervisors? Would it need to be promulgated by an agency like the FDA/FTC/USDA/etc. under the administrative rule-making process?)
3) What level of support and opposition is likely from stakeholder groups?
4) What are the tradeoffs (i.e. costs/benefits) that are presented by the policy?
5) How likely is the policy to be effective at addressing the particular health issue?
