In the healthcare sector, several interest groups influence health policies. In the US, the American Heart Association is an example of an interest group, and it has several roles in the policymaking process. One of the roles is conducting a formal assessment on clinical trial feasibility, where it comes up with evidence of required public health interventions for cardiovascular diseases (Magid, Aziz, Cheng, Hazinski, Hoover, Mahgoub, & Lavonas, 2020). Policymakers integrate the provided evidence-based interventions when making health policies. Another role is coming up with healthcare principles that policymakers should address when coming up with health policies. These principles ensure every individual in the US has access to affordable and adequate healthcare. The association also project the cost and prevalence of cardiovascular diseases and present their findings to policymakers. Policymakers use the given forecasts to come up with health policies that promote prevention strategies of cardiovascular diseases.
