NU730 Population Health Intervention Proposal: Part 2 Population-Based Intervention

Part 2 of 3 (Part 1 attached below)

Once there is a clear identification of the problem an intervention can be developed and implemented to address the health risk or health-related problem/issue. For a population health intervention consider the categories of intervention on The WheelLinks to an external site.. An intervention could be health teaching, outreach, social marketing, coalition building, advocacy, etc. An intervention could involve a new technology such as an App.

Whatever approach you select, the intervention should target the health risk or health-related problem/issue you identified from analysis of the population health data you sourced.

Directions 

The Population-Based Intervention Paper assignment is a formal, scholarly paper written in APA (7th ed.) format. A typical population-based intervention paper is about 3-5 pages long.

The paper should include the following:

• A title that reflects the problem or issue (the title should not be “Intervention Paper”)
• An overview of information about the population and the health risk or health-related problem/issue you described in your week 5 Part 1 paper that you will be selecting an intervention for (see link in the “Instructions” above to access the  ‘Wheel of Intervention’).
• A description of the intervention using appropriate evidence and facts to support why you believe the intervention is an effective strategy to deploy to positively impact the health risk or health-related problem/issue.
• A discussion of how and where the intervention would be implemented. Provide enough specificity about the intervention such that your reader has a clear understanding of your intervention deployment strategies. 
  • For example:
    • Would it occur on Mondays in public gathering places like senior centers?
    • Would the intervention be administered via the internet? or an App?
    • Would it take place in scheduled monthly meetings with community organizers?
    • Would the intervention be taught to all the public health professionals in the targeted community?
    • Would the intervention consist of materials mailed to every household?
    • Would mail carriersLinks to an external site. enact the intervention on their daily route? etc.)
• A conclusion with a description of the anticipated effect of the intervention.
• In-text citations for all information from outside sources and a list of references that includes each source cited in the paper.
