Your problem (phrase):

Asthma in the Bronx.

List at least three public policy alternatives. Be sure that all of your public policy alternatives are at the same geographical level as your social problem. Each alternative must specify the actual government or government agency that will carry out the proposed action.

Three possible proposals for reducing asthma in the Bronx are:

1. Re-locate industry from the Bronx to another area of New York City. (city level)
2. Mandate that there must be a week-long program, in health class on asthma education in all Bronx schools (elementary, middle, high schools). (local city school district level)
3. Purchase and distribute thousands of pieces of medical equipment valuing $500,000,000 including spacers, nebulizers, peak flow meters and bed covers to prevent exposure to dust mites. (city level)
