The “Compleat” Policy Analyst
In this article, the authors provide a list of the top 10 ways to become a “compleat” policy analyst, drawing on lessons from their own experience as policy analysts. The authors make no claims that their list is unique. However, they suggest the items included within it are supported in the academic and practitioner‐oriented literature. Counting down from number 10—“The compleat policy analyst knows how to skip steps”—the authors present and com…
Monitoring the Community Impacts of the Northwest Forest Plan
Use of existing data sources has made the social indicators approach an attractive method for anticipating the social and economic effects of policy changes on resource-dependent communities. Despite its practicality, this approach is severely limited by data availability and reliance on aggregate figures that obscure variation between smaller areas. A forest-dependent community in Washington State was studied in an attempt to discern the effects…
Compliance Costs of Small and Larger Businesses
Government Paperwork
Frustration with government-required paperwork is widespread among businessmen. Valuable time seems to be increasingly tied up in keeping records and submitting reports for a plethora of government agencies.

A variety of rest options were made available to the parents of handicapped children for purposes of revitalizing themselves to deal with their child's daily needs. The respite options included short periods of time varying from 2 to 15 consecutive days, i. e., taking a much need…
Alternative Arrangements for Cost Effective Pollution Abatement
After examining policies and proposals designed to achieve cost-effective pollution abatement, the authors argue that design of economically elegant solutions to pollution control problems needs implementation analysis if the policies are to be successfully carried out. They review some institutional obstacles to implementation and conclude that these impediments should not prevent adoption
A community alert for children with learning problems
Assessing and developing community-oriented programs for children with learning problems has been a complex and confusing task. Incumbent within such a process lies the problem of involving professionals from the domains of health, education, and the social services in addition to the parents. Given the polemic of trying to agree upon a similar definition of the problem, identifying interdisciplinary variations for similar symptoms, and conjointl…
Monitoring consumer satisfaction with the clinical services provided to 'exceptional' children
Given recent federal and state legislation mandating all necessary services for children with handicapping conditions, it is incumbent upon the providers of health care services to demonstrate accountability for their services to children with special needs. A procedure to assess the satisfaction of parents and community-based case coordinators with clinical services provided to such children has been demonstrated. By focusing on specific service…
