How HLTH 252 Week 5 Case Study Analysis 2 is graded
Liberty grades Case Study Analysis 2 with the rubric attached to the assignment in Canvas, worth 70 points in the published guide. That is about 7% of the course's 1,010 points.

Course grades in HLTH 252 use Liberty's point scale: an A is 900 to 1010 points of the course total. Missing the length or source minimum usually costs points on several rows at once, which is why the checklist below starts with them.
Timing in the published guide: Each course module/week (except Module/Week 1) begins on Tuesday morning at 12:00 a.m. (ET) and ends on Monday night at 11:59 p.m. (ET). The final module/week ends at 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Friday. Check the due dates in your Canvas section, which govern.
The HLTH 252 Week 5 method, step by step
Read the case for facts, not impressions
List the facts of the case first. Analysis that rests on a misread detail is the most common way case answers lose points.
Name the central problem
Decide what the core problem is and say it plainly. The rest of the analysis should be organized around it.
Apply the course framework
Use the model or concepts from Drugs in Society to analyze the case. Name the framework, then work through it with the case facts, step by step.
Weigh the options
Compare alternatives before recommending one. Each option needs its advantage and its risk stated in the terms of the case.
Recommend and justify
Choose one course of action and defend it with evidence (2 to 3 scholarly references plus citations from the assigned reading). Include how you would implement it and how you would know it worked.
Answer every question asked
Check the case questions one last time. Each one needs a direct answer, clearly labeled, within 2 to 3 pages of body, plus title and reference pages.
A structure for HLTH 252 Week 5 Case Study Analysis 2
Word targets are planning numbers for about 1,100 words of body text, set by the length in the guide; the rubric decides where to spend more.
| Section | What it must do | Target |
|---|---|---|
| The issue | What the article reports. | ~180 words |
| Prevalence and evidence | Data. | ~290 words |
| Public health issues | Harms and responses. | ~290 words |
| Moral and biblical positions | Faith and the issue. | ~220 words |
| Conclusion | Your position. | ~130 words |
A topic angle that works
Chapters 10 and 11 include alcohol. If the article concerns drinking, consider binge drinking or alcohol policy, and weigh evidence on policies such as alcohol taxes and outlet density.
Model paragraph with notes
An original paragraph written by our desk to show the register that earns full rubric credit. It is study material: learn the moves, then write your own.
Public health research supports policies that change the environment rather than relying on education alone. Higher alcohol taxes and limits on the number of alcohol outlets are associated with lower consumption and fewer alcohol-related harms, while campus education campaigns alone show small effects.1 The article's focus on individual choice misses these population-level tools.2
- Environment over education.
- Evidence.
- Critiques the article.
Mistakes that cost points on HLTH 252 Week 5
- Summary without analysis.
- No biblical position.
- Missing title page.
