You have been investigating the unintended negative consequences and effects, both local

and global, of a particular state or federal policy on a given population. Now, drawing on

your readings and discussions, you must draft a proposed change to address those

consequences.

Reflect carefully on the global context and diversity attributes of the populations

impacted and provide a rationale for change that stakeholders will support. To engage

cross-system stakeholders, you must determine their positions on the existing policy and

on your proposed change. You must also establish a process for evaluating the

effectiveness of the change.

Instructions

Using your chosen state or federal policy, list the steps necessary to bring about a change

in this policy for the benefit of your client population. Be sure to clearly identify the

current policy and attach a copy of it as an appendix. To avoid unintended consequences,

begin by considering the diversity of your client population and identify pertinent social

justice issues.

In a 5 page paper, complete the following:

● Analyze the intersectionality of attributes, including:

○ Policy analysis for unintended consequences to impacted population

based on diversity attributes and global context.

○ A discussion of the specific steps necessary to avoid a negative

impact on the vulnerable, including a rationale for your

recommended changes to the policy, referencing the literature.

● Identify local, regional and, possibly, federal stakeholders. Examine their stakes

in the change (whether for or against) and describe one strategy per

stakeholder group for engaging them to support your proposed change.

● Describe how you would evaluate the effectiveness of your change on each

level: micro, mezzo, and macro
