Include a table, graph, and/or figure display that includes relevant demographic data for your target population.
III. Comparison of Sentinel City Demographic Data

You can use Sentinel City Demographic data information provided in Module 2. It is also available within the the Sentinel City simulation.
IV. Key Health Concerns or Issues
Present a list of the top 3 health concerns for your target population.

To view recommended interventions, visit the TFCPS website at About the Community Preventive Services Task Force and select the topic you plan on addressing for your intervention. (Note: at the bottom of most topic pages on the TFCPS website there is a sample on how to cite the webpage. After reviewing the topics, click the “Resources” tab then click “Fact Sheets”. Here you may find fact sheets to share with your mentor at your practice learning site.)
Whether you modify an existing intervention or develop one of your own, you must discuss why this intervention will work for you target population or why you needed to modify it to make it work for your target population. Include advantages, population fit, and barriers in use of the intervention. You should include the long-term goals, two short-term measurable objectives, and the required resources such as: time, equipment, finances, etc. related to this intervention. [Note: you are not required to carry out your intervention but may present it to your practicum site mentor]
VII. Evaluation Plan
Describe your method for evaluating the objectives of your intervention (for example, pre/post-test, survey, questionnaire, phone interview). Include one long term goal and two short-term measurable objectives.
Example of goals and measurable objectives:
