A mid-term Policy Impact / Healthcare Narrative Interview will be due. The interviewee must be someone who has had health problems, or works with someone with health problems that impact their life expectations. The interviewee may be a family member, but not the student themselves! If you choose to interview a patient, do not violate any HIPAA policies or collect any protected health information (PHI). And if you choose to interview someone under 18, parents must be present during the interview and questions may be reworded as needed to be age appropriate for the child or parent.
Use the interview Template attached below and follow APA grammar and formatting as close as possible for the midterm interview.
The template provides a title page to fill in, an introductory section, questions to ask the interviewee, and your own reflective summary and analysis. You may add more questions as needed. While an in-person interview is most common, to accommodate busy schedules, the questions may be asked and answered via telephone, and even email. But you must document the appropriate title page information to validate your interview.
Due to the nature of interviewing, the interview content may use informal phrases and be written in first or third person, at the student’s discretion. Word count of the student and interviewee responses only is expected to be 1,000-1,500, and does NOT include references, title page, or the questions provided in the template.
