PHE5010 Environmental and Occupational Health

Week 5 Project

Final Project: Final
Paper

This week, you will
describe the range of options that are available to address the problem.
(Defining a core list of reasonable options is a critically important part of
the process of developing a solution to a problem.) You will also formulate a
concise argument for your recommendations for the problem

For this assignment:

Review a reputable
source of information on developing options and resolving conflicts when
solving problems.

Study the range of
options that have previously been proposed or tested for solving your chosen
environmental health problem. Create additional potential options based on your
own judgment and knowledge. Identify potential advantages and disadvantages of
each option.

Write a 15- to
20-page, double-spaced paper in Word format addressing the following:

State the 2- to
3-sentence problem statement you submitted in Week 2.

Briefly introduce the
topic of generating options when solving a problem. Describe a formal method by
which the advantages and disadvantages of potential options can be evaluated by
stakeholder groups to rank the potential options and to resolve conflicts when
ranking options.

Describe and analyze
several options to address the problem (options). Include solutions for
populations with disparities, if applicable.

Limit your
consideration to three to four major options. Briefly describe each option and
the main advantages and disadvantages of each major option for solving the
problem, including:

The likely
effectiveness of the proposed solution

Costs in terms of
dollars as well as effort and other resources (the exact costs are not needed
but options should be described in semiquantitative terms ranging from
“very expensive” to “relatively inexpensive” or ranging
from “most expensive” to “least expensive”)

Time required for the
option to bring about the desired result

Stakeholder issues
(limit this section to the key stakeholder groups you identified in your Week 4
landscape paper. Discuss your three to four proposed options with regard to
acceptability to certain stakeholders, lack of acceptability to other
stakeholders, and common ground for all stakeholders)

Potential unforeseen
consequences of the proposed solution or difficulties in implementing the
solution

Summarize your three
to four chosen options

Clearly identify which
option is favored.

Describe why this
option is preferred over the other options. Explain why, despite the drawbacks,
this is the best action to take.

Identify what, if any,
actions may be taken to mitigate or to overcome the negative aspects of your
recommendations.
