Questions

1. You have been hired to work for the county health department to complete a project that was begun by your predecessor and funded with money from a local foundation. The grant requires the health department to develop X number of programs on the topic of hepatitis and then to present these programs to X number of people representing specific priority groups in the community. After being hired, you discover that the administrator of the grant, your supervisor, has not adhered to the grant guidelines. Only half of the number of programs have been developed as the grant required. Further, the number of presentations is less than required, and presentations have been given to people not in the identified priority groups. In addition, your supervisor has taken some of the travel funds allocated to pay for your travel to and from presentations and has diverted them into his personal travel fund to attend a national conference in Las Vegas. It is now time for you to develop your year-end report, which will be sent directly to the local foundation office. Your supervisor provided you with a copy of the original grant proposal and says to make sure your figures agree with those in the proposal. What will you do?

2. As the director of a large corporate health promotion program, you have been asked to provide data to your supervisor that supports the effectiveness of your program. The trend in the company has been to cut programs that do not "carry their weight." The "bottom line" is important. In your review of the data related to your program, it is obvious the data are not strong. However, in fairness to you, the program has been in operation for only two years, and it is too early to see the type of results management is looking for. You are the only one who has access to the data, and no one will know if the data you submit are accurate. How will you handle this situation?

3. What if the goal of promoting or protecting the common good infringes on individual civil liberties or shared values of specific cultural communities?
