Abstract:
This study develops a decision model aimed at prioritizing public policies to combat violence against women, considering the conflicting objectives involved in the decision-making process. The research combines value-focused thinking for problem structuring with the flexible and interactive tradeoff (FITradeoff) method for preference modeling. The objective is to develop a ranking of actions based on decision-maker preferences. Data were collected in a single interview through a semistructured discussion with the gender training manager at the Secretariat for Women of the State of Pernambuco, Brazil. Using FITradeoff, partial preference information was gathered, leading to a preliminary recommendation of 11 ranking levels. A complete ranking of 20 alternatives was later established. The findings offer insights for optimizing public policies.

Decision Making: P-value Method
First, a specific claim about the population parameter is proposed. The claim is based on the research question and is stated in a simple form. Further, an opposing statement to the claim is also stated. These statements can act as null and alternative hypotheses: a null hypothesis would be a neutral statement while the alternative hypothesis can...
