Unit 5 assignment: population health intervention proposal part 1: problem identification

Instructions

The first step in addressing any population health issue is clear identification of the problem. Identification of a population health problem typically makes use of population data, which can be generated locally – such as by a specific practice, health care, or public health system – or through regional or state data aggregation such as through the County Health Rankings. Once researchers use data to amass compelling evidence of a health problem, interventions can be designed to address that problem.

A group or mass of distinct or varied things, persons, etc.:an aggregation of complainants.

Collection into an unorganized whole.

Biology, Ecology. a group of organisms of the same or different species living closely together but less integrated than a society.

Directions for the Population Health Problem Identification Paper

The Population Health Problem Identification Paper assignment is a formal, scholarly paper written in APA (7th ed.). A typical Problem Identification 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 “Problem Identification Paper”)
  • An introduction to the population that you utilized for the week 1 discussion and the week 4 presentation assignments.
    • Describe the population where the problem exists. The population can be defined in a variety of ways such as by geographical location (e.g. those who live in a certain zip code, city, or county), by SES (e.g. family income at or below the poverty level), a combination of demographic descriptors (e.g. men over 65, Latinas under 21, prisoners), by disease or disability (e.g. sickle cell, obesity, autism), or by any combination of these factors.
  • A sufficiently detailed description (using the data you sourced about the population) of the health risk or health-related problem/issue you identified for this group from the week 1 discussion assignment and/or any additional data that you have accessed or reviewed since week 1.
  • A conclusion discussing the implications of the health risk or health-related problem/issue. What could it mean if the problem is not addressed?
  • A reference list with sources matching all text citations.
