Families in Society is Accepting Policy Briefs! What is a Policy Brief? It is a short 4-6 double-spaced document that summarizes a current topic/issue or social problem in a critical area and presents recommendations for policymakers. The Policy Brief will serve as a way to provide evidence-based policy advice. The Policy Brief should clearly describe the issue or problem, the cause, effects, and perspectives on evaluating the problem. It should detail findings in plain language and link clearly to policy recommendations/initiatives. In our Editorial, https://lnkd.in/gwPxQPU8, we detail the importance of this work. Please consider contributing to the policy discussion and sharing this opportunity to have your policy brief peer-reviewed and published. You can find information here about our new submission format for Policy Briefs. https://lnkd.in/gM7-dqSQ
