Powis L. 2021. Big P little P policy overview. [Washington, DC]: Association of Maternal and Child Health Programs, Innovation Hub,

Annotation: This video explains the differences between big P and little p policy in public health settings. It discusses how big P policy refers to government-enacted policies at federal, state, and local levels through legislative, judicial, or executive branches, while little p policy encompasses policies developed outside government entities, including workplace policies, nonprofit guidelines, and program implementation protocols. The video provides interactive examples for viewers to distinguish between the two types and highlights the role of Title V programs in influencing policy through advocacy, development, implementation, and stakeholder engagement. It also references the CDC's policy process as a systematic approach to addressing public health problems and encourages public health professionals to recognize their participation in policy work regardless of their formal role. Length: 3 minutes, 7 seconds.
