health promotion plan

Welcome to your first assignment. As part of completing this course you will be participating in learning experience in the form of a Hypothetical Health Promotion Plan addressing a health concern affecting members of your community.  Your first assignment provides an opportunity for you to develop a hypothetical PowerPoint presentation with a voice over and speaker notes to complete the final assignment (Assignment 4). This 3-5 page assignment needs to be completed prior to initiating Assignment 4 in this course.

The first step in any effective project or clinical patient encounter is planning. This assignment provides an opportunity for you to plan a hypothetical learning experience focused on health promotion associated with a specific hypothetical community health concern. Such a plan defines the critical elements of who, what, when, where, and why that establish the foundation for an effective learning experience for the participants. Completing this assignment will strengthen your understanding of how to plan and negotiate individual or group participation. 

 

This assignment MUST be satisfactorily completed to initiate Assignment 4 (hypothetical presentation of the plan). 

 

 To start this process, you will choose a health concern based on one of the following topics:  Bullying, teen pregnancy, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SID), LGBTQIA+, immunizations, or Tobacco use (vaping, e-cigarettes, hookah, chewing tobacco, and smoking) cessation for a HYPOTHETICAL individual or group in your community (NOT IN A FACILITY). No other topic will be approved for this assignment. 

 

You will describe the hypothetical population, establish expectations, and goals of the plan. These goals should focus on what will be evaluated in assignment 4, the education session and the collaborative goals. Remember that goals must be realistic, measurable, and attainable for the participant(s).  

 

 Here is an example on how to combine these goals: By the end of the education session, (Time-bound), patients will identify 3 (measurable) strategies they can use to (specific) decrease their tobacco consumption.   

 

Please review the assignment scoring guide for more information.  

Based on the health concern for your hypothetical individual or group, discuss what you would include in the development a sociogram. Take into consideration possible social, economic, cultural, genetic, and/or lifestyle behaviors that may have an impact on health as you develop your educational plan in your first assignment. You will take this information into consideration when you develop your educational plan in your fourth assignment. Please make sure to carefully review the assignment criteria and grading rubric for further detail.

This assignment needs to be submitted to SafeAssign as a draft to determine whether you work matches existing sources published elsewhere. You will be provided an opportunity to review these matches and correct them so to avoid plagiarism concerns. A good rule of thumb is to review the highlighted areas and ask yourself if you cited correctly. If most of your sentence is highlighted, ask yourself if you need to use direct quotes, or paraphrase it. Once you determine that you are okay, submit the final draft to the assignment link for grading. You may submit your assignment to the draft area as many times as you wish for revisions, but only once to the assignment link for grading. Directions to SafeAssign are in your course.
