Unit 6 assign: population health intervention proposal part 2: population-based intervention

Instructions

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 Wheel. 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 carriers 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.
