KEYSTONE HPSR Initiative// Module 6: Policy analysis //Session 1: Introducing Health Policy This is the first video session of Module 6: Policy analysis, of the KEYSTONE Teaching and Learning Resources for Health Policy and Systems Research Click here to access videos sessions and slides for all modules: http://bit.ly/25vVVp1 Module 6: Policy analysis This module focuses on the policy analysis approach to understand who makes policy decisions (power) and how and why these decisions are made (process). As a field primarily preoccupied with understanding decision-making, contemporary policy analysis approaches place actors at the heart of systems, problematize policy content, are attentive to context, and can see implementation as a series of social relationships rather than as an obvious consequence of policymaking. Popular frameworks in the policy analysis domain encompass the interplay of ideas and interests in decision-making, theories of how actors operate as networks and groups, and models of agenda-setting, policy formulation and implementation. Key debates in policy analysis include: rational vs incremental forms of decision-making, top-down vs bottom-up approaches of implementation, and the import and significance of different forms of power. There are 4 videos in this module.

KEYSTONE is convened by the Public Health Foundation of India in its role as Nodal Institute of the Alliance for Health Policy and Systems Research (AHPSR). The inaugural KEYSTONE short course was conducted in New Delhi from 23 February – 5 March 2015. In the process of delivering the inaugural course, a suite of teaching and learning materials were developed under Creative Commons license, and are being made available as open access resources. The KEYSTONE teaching and learning resources include 38 videos and 32 slide presentations organized into 13 modules. These materials cover foundational concepts, common approaches used in HPSR, and guidance for preparing a research plan. These resources were created and are made available through support and funding from the Alliance for Health Policy & Systems Research (AHPSR), WHO for the KEYSTONE initiative.
