HCA415 Community & Public Health-WK2-A1:Community Health Roles
Complete The Community Health Roles worksheet.
Part I:
Start by reviewing the articles on quasi-government and non-governmental agencies in your REQUIRED course materials. Then: Provide solid definitions of governmental agencies, quasi-government, non-government agencies. Please do not copy your definitions from a dictionary or any source. You
must explain these in your own words. Copying and/or direct quoting will result in 0 points on this portion of your assignment.Explain the difference between public health and medical services. Part II:
INSTRUCTIONS: Complete the chart below. In each box in column 1, you need to select four public health concerns from the list below. (You might want to review
information on some of the suggested health topics in Chapters 5, 6, 7, and 9 in your textbook, listed in RECOMMENDED course materials.) Your task is to find health-
related organizations/agencies and a link to their website that address these issues at three distinct levels: Governmental Agencies (column B)Quasi-Government Agencies (column C)Non-Governmental Agencies (column D). Then, in column E, write in one or two sentences explaining why this issue is a public or community health concern. Remember that public/community health focuses on
populations, not individuals. Think back to your explanation in Part II outlining the differences between public health medical services. You are required to review
scholarly research to determine the role of public health as it relates to these issues. Each description MUST include a citation. Please note that your description of the importance to public health should not be rooted in the individual medical health care. Public health focuses on populations,
not individual care. See the example below to help you with your worksheet responses.

Assessment of Community-Level Barriers
Assessment of Community-Level Barriers
For the second written assignment of the course, you will continue in the design of your proposed model program by demonstrating your understanding of your selected
population’s challenges, which negatively impact this group’s health and well-being. Based on this week’s research, conduct an assessment of the barriers, limitations,
and other distinguishing features, as they exist within your community.
Prepare a recap of the model program for your community that you originally shared in the week 2 written assignment. As stated in the Week Two directions, changes to
the potential program can be made as you research and develop the focus of the program.
Analyze and discuss at least three critical barriers that impact the health and well-being of your chosen group; one must be a micro-level (individual) barrier that is
financial, one must be a macro-level (community/state) barrier that relates to access and funding for care, and the third barrier may be one of your choosing.
Discuss at least one proposed solution for each barrier. Your solution for the micro barrier must include an analysis of various potential funding options (both
independent and integrated). Your solution for the macro barrier must include an analysis of financing resources for health care.
Research and analyze the regulatory, legal, ethical, and accreditation requirements and issues for the service(s) offered in your proposed program. Discuss how each
will impact the management of the program.
Your assignment should be a minimum of three pages in length (excluding title and reference pages) and should include a minimum of three scholarly sources cited
according to APA guidelines as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. Please note: All assignments in this course are progressive; therefore you should use the same
population selected in your Week Two assignment. The Week Two assignment’s contents do not need to be re-submitted with this assignment.

Managerial Economics Case Study/Summer 2017, CSU East Bay.
Managerial Economics Case Study/Summer 2017, CSU East Bay.
This document outlines the case study that will be due by the end of finals week, Friday, September 1,
2017. The case study is worth 15% of the course grade, and asks you to apply the tools and analytical
approaches we’ve been learning in class to a real world scenario. With the exception of the discussion
about market structure, this is a non-technical exercise designed to require the conceptual application of
the concepts involved in optimal managerial decision-making and strategic managerial choices.
Completion of the case study and the display of a correct understanding and application of the concepts
we have discussed are the primary means for evaluation.
Expectations
First, find a company that made a news headline in recent years for an action that they had taken. These
decisions should be related to one or more of the topics we have discussed throughout the quarter
(decision-making over time, profit maximization, cost minimization, long-run adjustments, strategic
interaction, etc.). Excellent sources include The Wall Street Journal, The Economist, The New York Times,
CNN, etc. Begin by describing the news headline – what was the action being taken, who was taking it,
and why was it considered newsworthy?
A fun way to do this would be to find something related to an aspect of sports and entertainment that
you are interested in.
Second, describe the firm you have identified, including a report concerning what they produce and what
market they are in. Provide some analysis of the structure of that market – are they perfectly competitive,
a monopolist, or somewhere in between? How do you know? If the firm produces many products in
multiple different markets, focus on the market most relevant for the news headline you have chosen.
Use the tools we’ve discussed in class and other evidence/analysis you can find to support your argument.
Third, analyze the action taken in light of what we have discussed in class. Although we do not know all of
the relevant circumstances and information underlying the decisions made by the company’s
management team, use the information presented in the article and what else you can learn about the
company – from statements and documents produced by the firm or other articles that you can find – to
learn as much as you can. This analysis should include answers to the following questions:
What was the motivation for the action, and did it appear to be successful?
How does the action relate to a topic discussed in class? For example, was it an example of a firm
exercising some price-setting power or strategy? Was it an example of a firm restructuring or
reducing costs to increase competition? Was it a strategic move? Explain.
Given what you’ve learned in class and what you’ve learned about the case, identify what you
suspect to be the issues that the firm was likely to have been considering when making the
decision to take the action being analyzed. Can you think of any strategic reason why the firm may
have taken the action? Explain why these considerations would have been important.
I expect a formally written document, complete with citations and a works cited page
for any sources you
use (including, of course, the original article). The only data analysis I expect is in your analysis of the
market structure. It will likely help to bring in other analyses, reports, and articles to inform and support
your analysis. I expect the final write-up to be between 4 and 6 pages excluding the works cited page.
crime rate trends?
Chapter 1
Can a single standard of ethics be applied to all criminal justice agencies? Or is the CJ system too complex to legislate morality and ethics?
Describe the differences between the formal and informal justice systems. Is it fair to treat some offenders informally?
What are the layers of the criminal justice “wedding cake”? Give an example of a crime for each layer.
What are the basic elements of each model or perspective on justice? Which best represents your own point of view?
Chapter 2
What factors account for crime rate trends?
What factors are present in poverty-stricken urban areas that produce high crime rates?
It seems logical that biological and psychological factors might explain why some people commit crime. But if crime is based on individual traits, how would we explain
the fact that crime rates are higher in the West and South than in the Midwest and East?
Considering the patterns victimization takes, what steps should you take to avoid becoming a crime victim?
accounting 2 discussion
Pretend you are again a manager of your favorite manufacturing company. You have been asked to determine whether a product (one of your choosing) should be
manufactured in-house or outsourced to another vendor. Discuss the relevant costs you would consider for this decision as well as irrelevant costs and sunk costs. How
would you use differential analysis to arrive at this decision? Are there any other items that should be considered when making this decision?
Natural Hazards 2
Read (Natural Hazards, Unnatural Disasters, The Economics of Effective Prevention Chapter 5, 6, and Memorandum to a concerned citizen) and provide an approximate 1000
-word overview and explanation of the important concepts in the readings to include 6-7 references. Assume that you are writing for an uninformed reader that knows
nothing about the topic and has not read what you read. Provide an introduction that gives the background of the resource that you are reviewing, so the reader will
understand what they’re reading and why. Consider the following topics for inclusion in this week’s discussion:
– What is the role of insurance? Is insurance sustainable in an environment of increasing risk?
– How are cities inherently hazardous?
– What role will climate change play in future disaster planning?
– How would your perspective of disaster change if a disaster similar to those described happened to you?
DO NOT list out the topics or questions and answer them.
macroeconomics discussion
David Ricardo was the first economist to elaborate the theory of comparative advantage in his book On the Principles of Political Economy and Taxation. Ricardo wrote:
Under a system of perfectly free commerce, each country naturally devotes its capital and labour to such employments as are most beneficial to each. This pursuit of
individual advantage is admirably connected with the universal good of the whole . . . It is this principle, which determines that wine shall be made in France and
Portugal, that corn shall be grown in America and Poland, and that hardware and other goods shall be manufactured in England. (1817, p. 188)
Read more at On the Principles of Political Economy and Taxation
Think about the 10-year historical period you chose for your final project. Identify trade policies of the time and discuss the following points:
What are the main goods and services the United States traded internationally?
What trade barriers were in place during that decade?
What are two pros and two cons of the trade barriers used?
Play devil’s advocate and attempt to debunk two peers’ opinions on the advantages and disadvantages of an open economy.
Presenting Your Strategic Plan
Presenting Your Strategic Plan
As a professional, you will be called upon to present information for decision making. Based on your Capstone Project, prepare 5–6 PowerPoint slides (not including
your title or reference page) that you would use to present the strategic plan you developed for your Capstone Project. You are encouraged to use pictures when
appropriate. You should either record and embed audio of you presenting (no longer than 5 minutes) or provide text in the notes section of the PowerPoint.
The Assignment (5–6 slides):
Develop a short presentation of your strategic plan from your Capstone Project.
Include no more than 5 minutes of audio or text in the notes section of your PowerPoint.
