According to the UCR data for 15-24 year olds, the male homicide rate in 2013 was 18 times higher for Blacks than for Whites. Recent programs like “Becoming a Man” developed by Chicago nonprofit group Youth Guidance and policies like “My Brother’s Keeper” initiated by President Obama have made use of the data regarding Black crime rates in an attempt to find potential solutions. Read the following two articles that present recent crime data regarding urban youth crime and potential preventive measure that can be taken. Read “Youth Exposure to Violence Prevention Programs in a National Sample” and “Preventing Youth Violence: Opportunities for Action.” In an essay of 750-1,000 words, address the following: According to David-Ferdon and Simon (2014), why is youth violence such a critical problem, and what are the costs? Describe the study design used by Finkelhor et al. (2014). Include the sample population, and data collection and analysis methods. What were the limitations of this type of study? What were the findings? Overall, what does the evidence show to be true about youth violence prevention programs, and how should they be implemented in the future to be most effective?

Who are the stakeholders in this scenario, and what are their roles?

There are two principles that health care providers rely on when set the rates for their services. The first principle is cost, and the second is based on third-party reimbursements, especially from Medicare. As the chief operations officer of your hospital, you have been asked by the board to make a presentation on how the hospital sets the price for the services that it provides. Create a PowerPoint presentation of 6–8 slides with speaker notes that analyzes the different services provided by the hospital and the rationale for charging patients for them. In your presentation, consider the following: Who are the stakeholders in this scenario, and what are their roles? Describe the practice of price discrimination and its objectives. What role does the cost of the doctor’s education and malpractice insurance play in costing health care services? What is the role of third-party payers such as Medicare and Medicaid in pricing health care services? How does the uninsured population impact pricing? How does the use of emergency services for nonemergency situations impact pricing? Document recommendations for improvement based on your economic analysis. Ensure that you integrate economic terms, frameworks, and models throughout the review.
