Please read the attached Word document as serious as possible. Here is the basic information of this paper.
Read the following case study. You will be assigned to a stakeholder group from the group below and you will need to defend your stakeholder position on how to prevent the spread of Zika Virus in Miami, FL. For this assignment, you will write a letter to the Florida Governor. You will then orally defend your position in a mock state health department meeting open to the public.
Stakeholder groups are:
• Lead Scientist for Florida Public Health Department – you have a fixed budget and high level of concern with in the public. Many are very concerned with Zika and want to see “something” done.
You are to write a 2-3 page letter (Times New Roman 12 point font, double spaced, 1 inch margins), to the Governor of Florida, detailing the intervention you would advocate relative to your stakeholder perspective. You can take whatever position you desire with your stakeholder perspective but you need to defend it with three distinct evidence based points. The first paragraph will introduce you and your position (you can be creative here and even make up a character). The next 3 paragraphs will each make a separate and distinct point that backs up your position in the first paragraph. You must justify your point with fact/science (not just an emotional plea). The last paragraph will contain your summary and your recommendations to the Governor on what actions you think s/he should take. The quality and clarity of your three talking points along with proper grammar, sentence and paragraph structure and spelling will be assessed for grading purposes. The paper requires at least three (3) mainstream references. Mainstream means a peer reviewed science journal, government agency, an article in a major magazine or newspaper, a science based advocacy group or information posted by industry. You may use a separate page for your citations that will not count against your page count or you can use footnotes but you must follow APA citation style.
