There are various options for selecting a target value for objective indicators. For programs that are innovative, address rare health problems, or are highly tailored to the location, which target setting option(s) is recommended?

Set target for a statistically significant improvement compared to the current value.

Explanation:

For programs that are innovative, address rare health problems, or are highly tailored to the location a target of value of a statistically significant improvement compared to the current value is set. It is appropriate when there is credible data source and policy makers need to be convinced on an investment that is worthwhile. Also, change can happen anytime and planners must be able to set an argument that greater change will most likely occur by chance alone. The Z-test is used to determine the amount of change that is statistically significant. Very often, the significance level is set at p= 0.05 which implies that the probability of reaching the target by chance alone is 5% or less than 5 in 100 which translates to a Z-score of 1.96 which is used to estimate the target value.

even though you have attached neither the chart nor the generalizations, i have located them online. the right answer is d, since they are asking you about a generalization. you can only infer from the chart that between 2008 and 2009 the number of employed workers decreased significantly (from over 115 millions to 107 millions approximately), which signals some type of economic crisis.
