The information you provided in your PowerPoint presentation on Threats to the Global Environment has led to productive debates at the United Nations General Assembly! Hence, they are now asking you to create an additional analysis report to respond to the issues raised in these debates.
Your fourth project as a consultant for the United Nations is to develop a report that addresses the issues raised by some of the member states of the United Nations.
Step I. Consider the Issues
In Assignment 3a, you were asked to create a PowerPoint identifying the four most critical threats out of eight threats provided in the table below.
Energy sources
Civil war
Globalization
Poor health of entire populations
Lack of educational opportunities
Cultural taboos
Inappropriate uses of technology
Climate change
There are four remaining threats that you did not discuss in your PowerPoint. This assignment will focus on those four. Here are the specific tasks you will complete:
Step II. Prepare Your Report
The UN has given you the following guidelines.
Introduction
Briefly introduce the topic of the analysis (about 100-150 words).
1. If you were hired as the new manager of a public fitness facility in a small community, what are some of the goals and objectives you would like to develop? Why?
2. What would the goals and objectives be if you were the facility manager of a large stadium used by a professional baseball team? Why?
Please answer ALL of the following four questions (submit one document containing four individual answers, one to each question):
1. Discuss the difference between an invention and an innovation using the example of PrEP. Use appropriate academic sources to support your arguments.
2. Researchers have described PrEP as a “gamechanger” in the fight against HIV. Discuss with reference to course materials, and the notion of incremental and disruptive innovations.
3. One criticism towards the Cyclic Model of Innovation is that it underestimates the role of culture in the success or failure of innovations. What cultural factors play into the success or failure of PrEP as a healthcare innovation? Discuss and support your argument(s) through examples.
4. Has PrEP crossed the chasm (Rogers, Moore)? What groups of stakeholders could facilitate the further dissemination of PrEP among relevant target groups? How could they do that?
Case Study information:
PrEP is a pill containing two antiretroviral drugs (emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate) that, when taken daily, is up to 99% effective in preventing HIV-negative people from contracting the virus (Grant et al. 2010; Molina et al. 2015).
New HIV diagnoses fell by 80% at the UK’s biggest sexual health clinic in London between 2015 and 2017 (Dean St, 2017). This dramatic drop is part of a broader trend, as Public Health England (2018) have also recorded double digit declines across the country. Research recently published by the Lancet suggests that “a major contributor to the decline in diagnoses is the use of HIV pre- exposure prophylaxis (PrEP)” (Nwokolo et al. 2017, p.482).
Please watch the following two videos:
Teaser: What is PrEP?
TED Talk about PrEP
Then, make yourself knowledgeable about PrEP and the state of PrEP availability, diffusion, and adoption in the United Kingdom. Start with these resources:
I Want PrEP Now Campaign by the Terrence Higgins Trust (national HIV/AIDS charity):
PrEP Impact Trial (currently running) in England: https://www.prepimpacttrial.org.uk/ PrEP resources of 56 Dean St. (largest STI clinic in UK): http://dean.st/prepshop/
The Prepster Project: https://prepster.info/
PrEP information by the San Francisco AIDS foundation: https://prepfacts.org/
In addition to these resources, please do your own research to make yourself knowledgeable until you feel comfortable answering the four case study questions (provided above).
