2. Policy analysis, including latent and manifest goals, benefits/services provided, eligibility and delivery systems, financing, and evaluation (section #2 is worth 30 points total)
A. Latent and manifest goals (10 points)
· What are the SPECIFIC goals (i.e., the manifest goals) of the policy you have chosen? (DO NOT COPY AND PASTE THE GOALS OR YOU WILL BE PENALIZED.)
· What are the secondary, perhaps unintentional goals (i.e., the latent goals) of the policy you have chosen? Did the policy you chose help/aid/benefit any other population outside of your specific interest?
B. Benefits and Services provided (15 points)
· What are the benefits of the policy for the population affected? (BE SPECIFIC!)
· What are the direct or indirect services that are provided to the population affected through the policy?
C. Eligibility and Delivery Systems (10 points)
· Who is eligible for the policy?
· How is the policy “delivered” or “rolled out?” (i.e., who oversees the policy? What delivery systems are in place for the policy?)
E. Evaluation and Recommendations (15 points)
· Is the policy, itself, strengths-based? How so?
· What would you change about the policy to make it more reflective of the strength-based approach and why?
