Developing a Health Behavior Change Intervention: Final Project Part I—Introduction & Needs Assessment

Think about the program you’re proposing, the target population and its specific needs, and how you would achieve implementation and uptake, the latter of which will be addressed in future assignments.

• Needs Assessment: Describe the target population and the need that the program addresses. Provide ample statistics and references to existing literature supporting the need for the program. Discuss existing resources (or lack thereof) and how your program will fill a specific gap/need. Tables and figures are welcome. Attach a separate reference page at the end of the document.
