Program Planning Documentation
Suicide prevention in middle-aged male veterans teams uses PROCEDE-PROCEED for program H.E.R.O. There are several reasons we choose to use this planning model. (1) It is hypothetically base and combines a series of phases in the planning, implementation, and evaluation to acquire the quality of life to the target population; (2) “It is the most widely known model in program planning” (Green & Kreuter, 2005); (3) This planning model starts with consequences and determines its cause; once the cause is known, an intervention will design to reach the desired outcomes; (4) “PRECEDE is helping to predisposing, reinforcing, and enabling constructs in education; PROCEED helps in policymaking, controlling and structural constructs in educational development” (Green & Kreuter, 2005, p. 9).
"In phase 1 is called the social assessment, the model seeks to state the quality of life of the target population to know problems and priorities of those population so that team can identify the desired outcomes" (Green & Kreuter, 2005). It analyzes the situation and allows the employee and employer the assessing the needs for achieving the quality of life. In phase 2, epidemiological assessment, we use data to determine the risk factors or causes of health in the population's genetics, behavioral patterns, and environment and rank the health goals and problems identified in phase 1. we use this phase to plan the health program. Phase 3, educational and ecological assessment, helps identify and classify the many factors into three categories: predisposing, reinforcing, and enabling. These three categories help provide social benefits such as appreciation, relief of discomfort or pain, or tangible rewards like avoidance of cost to get quality of life in the target population in the H.E.R.O program. In phase 4, the intervention alignment, we aim to compare the strategies and interventions from the previous phase and bring needed changes to the policies. Administrative and policy assessment helps determine what resources are available to carry out the health promotion intervention, what time the invention can conduct, there are financial resources to buy needed stuff for an employee or not, what organization and administration will support the H.E.R.O program. After identifying the intervention, we determine the availability of program resources; in phase 5, we begin the implementation, and in Phase 6,7 and 8, we evaluate the program's composition based on the objectives that we create during the assessment phase (Green & Kreuter, 2005). We focus on the availability of educational components for the employee, evaluate the changes of behavior in employees, reduce the incident, and focus on increasing productivity. PRECEDE PROCEED explains how the planning model relates to our topic to meet our goals to reduce the suicide rate in middle-aged veterans and our audience who will help us make our intervention successful.
Identify which behavior change theory(s) and/or theoretical constructs your program will employ
Cite examples of other successful programs related to your topic and audience that have used a similar planning process and similar behavior change theories/constructs. Include any lessons learned or implications for programming from previous programs. Also consider what factors must be taken into account for an intervention to be successful.
There are many behavior change theory; we can use for the program H.E.R.O. According McLeroy, Bibeau, Steckler, and Glanz (1988) identify the behavior change in five-level. We have chosen the behavior change theory and theoretical constructs Health Belief Model (intrapersonal level) and Social Cognitive theory (Interpersonal level) for H.E.R.O employ.

(2) a rough draft of your program rationale & program planning documentation
Suicide is a public general medical problem in America, and it excessively influences the people who are serving or who have served in the United States military. The US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has made suicide counteraction its main clinical need. VA is resolved to forestall suicide among the whole populace of the individuals who have served our country in the military, whether or not they utilize any VA administrations or advantages. Suicide can be forestalled through the utilization of a general wellbeing system accepting accomplices at all levels. Following a public technique, VA has set out on a work including the use of a general wellbeing procedure joining both clinically-based and local area centered intercessions.
