Coordinated and collaborative efforts to reduce health  disparities require culturally appropriate strategies to create the  changes necessary to improve public health.

To complete this Application Assignment, you will write  a 3- to 4-page paper that includes your P.E.R.I. information from Week  4. Select a strategy (consciousness raising, community development,  social action, health promotion, media advocacy, or policy change) from  the Promoting Health Equity (pp. 58–75) document to create, and  describe, the approach and theory of behavior change you recommend to  create a change in the at-risk population you identified. In addition to  your answers to questions 1–5 from the Week 4 P.E.R.I. Application  Assignment, be sure to add a description of:

1. The hypothetical community you will work with, including cultural issues that might impact your chosen health condition
2. The theory related to health behavior you selected
3. The community (or international) public health  organizations you would involve in the planning, and implementation, of  this intervention
4. How you would apply your theory-based behavior  change strategy to improve the social determinants of the health issue  in this community

Be sure to support your work with specific citations  from this week's Learning Resources and additional scholarly sources as  required. Refer to the Essential Guide to APA Style
