Prenatal and neonatal development

The prompt is below. I attached the textbook to cite (CH 3 & 4) in addition to the PowerPoint to make it easier. Thanks!

Government Support

The United States has no real system for supporting couples or individuals through pregnancy and the first years of a babys life. This is not the case in many other countries. For example, France (Moore, 2006) and Sweden (De Bernardi, 1995) provide special incentives and support for people who wish to conceive and raise children.

Using the reference below, in addition to your own individually researched research citations, investigate 1-2 particular countries maternal and family support plans and present their findings. Discuss the implications for these support plans. Finally, how might you work to encourage these plans in the United States?

Michelle has asked you to send her a memo that explains the target market for MMs new product. Because a global market is under consideration, she wants you and Elena to meet for an in-depth discussion of the different characteristics of your target market before sending her the information.

Elena meets you for coffee the next morning to explain her reasons for advocating the global market. As you finish your discussion, Elena stops and says,

“We’ve discussed a lot of different market segments to target with the new product, but the choice comes back to you,” says Elena. “What’s your final decision on the target market that we should focus on? Are you going to propose that we try to market this product globally?

You sigh, knowing this is a key decision in your marketing strategy. “I appreciate our discussion today. I’m going to have to do some more research to determine the exact market and if we should go global or not.”

You know Michelle is expecting a detailed description of your targeted market segment including justification for selecting the market. You also need to remember to include your recommendation for or against marketing globally.

What are the demographic characteristics of your target market and why are they important?

Where is your target market located geographically and why is that important?

What psychographic characteristics define your target market? How do these impact your marketing strategy?

What behavioral characteristics are shared by your target market? Why are these important?

Clicking for a Cause: Researching an Online Campaign
An activist uses Twitter during protests in EgyptActivism on the Internet has had a number of notable successes and several notable failures. Some have argued that online activism has a powerful impact that shapes and transforms online communities, while others have claimed that online activism is more about feeling good than actually doing good. For this assignment, you will choose one new media activism campaign to research and evaluate in order to determine whether you believe online activism has a transformative effect and achieves real and lasting change. Some examples include:

  Kony 2012
  #bringbackourgirls
  ALS Ice Bucket Challenge
  Anonymous hacktivism

Writing Requirements

For this assignment you will write an essay. It will be composed of two parts, each will be completed in approximately 2 pages. Please address each of the bulleted points in your essay.

Part 1

Using your selected campaign, research 3-4 credible sourcessuch as academic journals, books, magazines and newspapersand examine the campaigns goal, the methods it used to try to reach that goal, and whether the campaign was effective. Please refer to the assignment tip sheet (Links to an external site.) [PDF, File size 158 KB] and subject guide (Links to an external site.) to help you accelerate your research.
Did the campaign achieve its goal? What made the campaign effective or ineffective?
How were online communities or networks involved in spreading the campaigns message?
Would the campaign have been as effective if it had used only traditional media?
Part 2

Then, using what you have learned from how this campaign was organized, select an issue of importance to you and briefly propose how you would organize a new media activism campaign to achieve a goal related to that issue. Be sure to identify the goal you hope to achieve, the new media you would use to achieve that goal, and why you feel this would be a successful way to reach your goal.
Finally, reflect briefly on the impact of online activism. Does participating in online activism reinforce or shape individuals sense of being engaged and active citizens? How does it reflect, shape, or determine how individuals think about or participate in social and political causes?

Timberline Health, an integrated delivery system serving residents in five counties in eastern Washington, is considering new opportunities to increase community awareness of the organizations outpatient health services. As the new business development manager of hearing health services, Jack Andrews is responsible for evaluating the feasibility of marketing activities for the hearing service line and must allocate resources to promotional activities that forecast positive return on investment. One option under consideration is to sponsor the health and wellness pavilion at the Spokane County Fair. Research from comparable markets has shown

that wellness fairs are not only effective at educating communities about potential risk factors for health problems, including hearing loss, but also increasing consumer awareness of new or existing health services provided by local health organizations. These activities are essential to Timberline Healths mission within the community.

Since little is known about the hearing status of residents in the market area, Jack enlists the services of his organizations epidemiologist, Dr. Ruth Litchfield, to help him evaluate the potential return on investment for this marketing campaign. Dr. Litchfield incorporates several factors into her analysis. She reviews public health data on hearing loss, occupational and age distribution data for local residents, as well as a query of Timberline Healths patient databases. Based on this research, she estimates the prevalence of hearing loss in the five-county service area at 18 percent, slightly higher than the national average (NIH, 2010). Jack receives information from the fairs sales and marketing department to help in his calculations. Specifically, sponsorship consists of an investment of $50,000 for the design and production of promotional materials and rental of pavilion space for the duration of the twelve day fair. Data from the previous three years shows on average 250,000 people attend the fair, of which 1% visit the wellness pavilion and participate in health screening services.

If Timberline Health is to offer mobile hearing screening, the organization must invest in new portable audiology equipment. Jack receives a quotation from his supplier and estimates the total investment in new audiometers and audiometric booths at $16,000. Timberline Health will use existing diagnostic equipment to test people who have failed the initial screening (i.e. test positive for hearing loss), so it is unnecessary to invest in additional equipment for the hearing centers. Vendor specifications for the screening and diagnostic equipment are indicated in Table 1.

Furthermore, Jack calculates that he must provide coverage for three 6-hour shifts per day and each shift must have three audiologists to meet demand for screening tests. He anticipates hiring nine people to provide coverage for the duration of the fair. The hourly rate for audiologists is

$37.50.

People who fail the initial screening at the fair are referred to an audiologist for a diagnostic test. Jack assumes in his calculations that all people who are referred for diagnostic testing follow up with an audiologist in one of Timberline Healths hearing centers. Initial screening tests at the fair are free; however, Timberline Health charges $57.00 for a diagnostic hearing test, which costs the organization $24.00. Using past sales data and industry metrics, Jack forecasts that of

the total number of people diagnosed with hearing loss at hearing centers only 20% will purchase hearing aids (NIH, 2010). He reviews sales and margin data from the prior year to identify the product mix for his calculations as indicated in Table 2.
