first assignment 

Planning Models

TO: Agency Health Education and Health Promotion Personnel

FROM: The Director

RE: Planning Models

I am concerned that we always seem to be a day late and a dollar short in implementing our health promotion programs.

1. I’d like for you to develop a PERT chart for a community based smoking cessation program.
2. I also am not sure that the diagnosis stage of our planning is adequate. Use the PRECEED model to prepare an educational diagnosis of lung cancer.

Thank you.

In addition, create a mock budget for your program. What resources will you need? Staff, supplies, space, marketing, incentives, etc? Please use the sample budget template in ‘Doc Sharing”’ to create your proposed budget.

Present your assignment as a 2-3 page Microsoft Word document. Please include APA-style formatted references in the body of the paper and as a reference list. Upload the document to appropriate Unit dropbox by the due date.
