- Details and background on a limited/focused/local environmental issue or problem
- Two solutions to the problem – fully explained
- At least 4 costs and 4 benefits associated with the solution 1 – explain each cost/benefit
- At least 4 costs and 4 benefits associated with the solution 2 – explain each cost and benefit
- A recommendation of the best solution, based on your analysis of the costs and benefits – incorporate the costs and benefits to argue for the best solution – be absolutely clear if solution one or solution two was recommended
Be sure to not make your topic too broad. It should cover a specific town or area, not the entire world or a country, but does not have to be the particular town or area where you live. Please stay away from global issues.
As an example, runoff from a coal mine may be contaminating the groundwater of a nearby town. A solution to abating the contaminated groundwater could be to shut down the coal mine but at the cost of everyone losing their jobs. A benefit to this solution could be clean drinking water for the community. Notice that the topic is not all coal mines but rather this one very specific coal mine. Identify the location when presenting the introduction and explaining the problem.
There are a host of other costs and benefits associated with the solution to the above example. There are also many alternatives for solutions, none of which would make everyone happy. It is your job to find these costs and benefits for whatever solutions you choose. Do so through reading, watching, and summarizing your findings. You need research to support each cost and benefit. Then, analyze each solution’s costs and benefits to determine which is the best solution. Remember when considering costs and benefits, they go far beyond dollar values (e.g., loss or gain of jobs, land use, recreation, convenience, public health, habitat loss or gain, pollution).
Include a slide with the title of your presentation, then 1-2 introduction slides describing the environmental problem in detail. The main body of the presentation should describe the solutions and the costs/benefits of the proposed solution and give recommendations based on the cost/benefit analysis. Be sure to use APA style citations and include a reference slide.
A PowerPoint presentation is really just an outline (with topics, subtopics, and bulleted statements), so it only contains the main points (just like you make an outline when writing a research paper). If you have never used or, there are many tutorials on the internet that explain how to create a presentation. It is better to have a detailed, well-organized, well-written presentation than a lengthy one that rambles off of the topic.

Outlining the public health financing process is an intuitive phase. Many public health officials start drafting the program budget along with the planning phase just to have some idea of the funding needed to support such a venture. Later, financial analysts are consulted to form a detailed plan of action and develop multiple financial options and a cohesive financial planning mechanism.
In this assignment, you will continue working on sections for your final project assignment. You will conduct a budget analysis for this assignment.
Using the readings for the week, the South University Online Library, and the Internet, write a 23-page budget analysis. Select 23 scholarly references on public health program financial plans to use in support of your response. Make sure to include evidence-based information and scholarly references.
Complete the following:
- Begin by reviewing the assigned reading materials and the information about implementing and monitoring budgets.
- Next, review the previous assignments you completed on your selected health issue or health disease topic.
- Develop a cohesive budget to include types of cost analyses. Your budget analysis should be developed using an Excel spreadsheet. Review the readings for this week for examples.
- Include the following components in your budget analysis:
- Selected Categories
- Total Budget
- Cumulative Expenses
- Dollar Variance
- Amount Left to Spend
- Percent of Unspent
- Percent of Variance
- Be sure to calculate the total expenditures, revenue total, and final budget total.
In a 1-page summary in Word format, provide an overview of your budget that includes a mini-synopsis of the significant points. Approach your budget analysis as a practical application and assume you are going to submit it to public health officials to solicit funding for your health program. For this assignment, you will have two deliverablesthe summary in Word format and the Excel spreadsheet with your analysis.
Since Microsoft Word and Excel are interconnected programs, you may embed your Excel spreadsheet in your Word document. The Microsoft Office Word Help Guide/Assistance can provide further information about how to embed or link documents.
Submission Details:
- Submit one document with both assignments, the overview and the budget, combined in a Microsoft Word
