Description
After reading Chapter 7 and the required resources for this week, consider the following scenario:
HIV Help-Inc., a non-profit organization focusing on the prevention
of HIV/AIDS just received a $10 million grant to fund several projects.
The organization is currently located in an older building that needs
extensive repairs. The organization is using outdated office equipment
In addition, one additional staff member is needed in order to keep up
with incoming phone calls and requests for presentations and community
outreach activities. A portion of the grant – $2 million – is allotted
for business improvements which can address one of these three areas:
repairs to building, outdated office equipment, and more staff. The
remaining $8 million is to be used to further enhance the continuum of
care level to provide access to preventive health services.
- Section A: Create a cost benefit analysis for an
update that will improve the business: structural, office equipment, or
staff. You can be creative in determining what the business needs. The
cost will use the full amount of funds allotted to this improvement ($2
Million), so you can only improve one of these three needs Note: Your work must include Steps 1-4, as outlined in section 7.2 of your course text.
- Section B: Create a cost effective analysis to
determine how to best spend the $8 million portion of the grant funding
on education and other preventive services. The organization currently serves the community and
clientele with community education classes at schools and community
centers, as well as the distribution of condoms and educational
materials. They wish to expand their current services to reach the
neighboring community (4,000 residents), add social media advertising
and messaging to reach the younger population, distribute educational
material and condoms to homeless shelters in the area, and add HIV
testing to at-risk individuals. Select two of the potential services and
determine how the money can be best spent to have the greatest outcome
for the HIV+ population in the community.Note: Your work must address the costs as well as the anticipated benefits, as outlined in section 7.2 of your course text
- Section C: Based on the CDC website (Links to an external site.), analyze how cultural norms impact the risk of getting HIV. Explain one method or action on how to address this challenge.Your initial contribution should be 250 to 300 words in length. Use proper APA formatting for in-text citations and references
