· What social problems might be created by giving the mothers cash grants as described in the case study?

· As described in the case study, do you think the resources were ethically distributed? (Think about stereotyping.)

· What changes do you think should be made to the Progresa/Oportunidades program, if any?

· If the Progresa/Oportunidades program were to be discontinued for any reason, what could you, as a nurse, say that might help to maintain funding?

· Do you think a similar program, one like the Progresa/Oportunidades program, might work in your community? Why or why not?
