Getting Started – Constructing Alternatives & Identifying evaluative criteria

• Briefly describe 2-3 policy alternatives that you are considering for part II of your policy analysis paper (2-3 sentences is adequate) and which evaluative criteria you are considering to use to assess your options. Note these should derive from policies in other states (or possibly policies that have been proposed but not yet passed in your state) – you should not start from scratch. Please include a clear statement/title that reminds me what problem you are addressing, including the state.
• For each alternative, indicate what type of policy it is (i.e. regulation, subsidy, new service, etc. from the learning activities above)
• For each alternative, identify which cause(s), risk factor(s) or contributing factor(s) from your problem definition that each alternative addresses.
• Identify at least 3 evaluative criteria that you are considering to assess your options (note these should be the same for each alternative and should come from the standard lists of criteria discussed in the learning materials).
• Include at least 3 credible sources of information (in APA format) that you have served as a basis for identifying or constructing your policy alternatives.
