PHE5010 Week 3 Assignment 2: Bisphenol A (BPA)

Consumers (patients and their families)
Clinicians (individuals in a variety of disciplines, practice groups, and hospitals)
Payers (insurers)
Businesses (e.g., pharmaceutical or medical device manufacturers)
Policymakers (e.g., medical organizations and government)
Advocacy and education groups (e.g., patient advocacy groups, societies devoted to a specific health issue, such as the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society or the March of Dimes).
Others

In an environmental problem, the same general categories of stakeholders are represented, although the members of the consumer and other groups are specific to the environmental problem.
The political climate can be loosely defined as the combination of past and present public stances, often conflicting, of the key stakeholder groups as well as the prior attempts to solve the problem.
When planning to begin a program or to conduct an intervention to address a public problem, a certain intervention may be effective from a technical standpoint but unpopular with stakeholders. If stakeholders’ needs and concerns are not addressed, the program will fail on various levels.
For this assignment:

Review the following example of stakeholder involvement in addressing an environmental concernthe Amchitka Island site:

A military airbase was established on this Alaskan island during World War II and underground nuclear bomb testing was conducted during 1965-1971 (Giblin, Stahl, & Bechtel, 2002). These events and subsequent stakeholder participation are summarized by Rutgers University faculty members in the abstracts of several journal articles.

Using the South University Online Library, review the following two abstracts:

Burger, J., Gochfeld, M., & Pletnikoff, K. (2009). Collaboration
versus communication: The Department of Energy’s
Amchitka Island and the Aleut Community.Environmental
Research,109(4), 503-510.
Burger, J., & Gochfeld, M. (2009). Changes in Aleut concerns
following the stakeholder-driven Amchitka independent
science assessment.Risk Analysis,29(8), 1156-1169.

One of the stakeholder involvement activities was participation in sampling of wildlife and other biota at the site during an independent external scientific assessment of the site by the Consortium for Risk Evaluation with Stakeholder Participation (CRESP) (access photos athttp://www.cresp.org/amchitka_photos/amchitka_phase2/apia/index.html).
An advocacy group involved in the controversy was GreenPeace. GreenPeace was founded in 1971 during a voyage to protest nuclear weapons testing on Amchitka (accessible athttp://www.greenpeace.org/international/en/
