HBSLP2

By now, you have identified and done some literature search on your Module 1 session long project (SLP) topic/health behavior and target population. In short, you have assessed the need for a program or intervention to address the health behavior you previously identified. For Module 2 SLP, you will again conduct a literature search utilizing peer-reviewed journal articles, books, professional organization articles, etc. to help you identify evidence-based strategies to best address the health behavior in your target population.

Write a paper (3 pages in length) summarizing your findings on evidence-based strategies specific to the health behavior.

SLP Assignment Expectations

The following items will be assessed in particular:

1. Using the same topic from Module 1 SLP, describe your program’s overall goal and at least two 1 learning objective and 1 behavioral objective for your specific target population. Your objectives must be specific, measureable, achievable, realistic, and time-phased (SMART). Make sure that you have read the required readings and completed the required 30-minute tutorial before developing your goal and objectives.
2. Based on your literature search, provide a summary of evidence-based strategies that have been shown effective in promoting or reducing the behavior in your target population.
3. Identify two (2) evidence-based strategies that you will use to implement your program or intervention. Provide an explanation why you have chosen these strategies and defend your choices.
