Short Paper: Feasibility of Programs Based on Resources (Breast and Cervical Cancer: National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP))

Program : Breast and Cervical Cancer: National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP)

Overview: In Module One, you selected a public health issue and existing program on which to focus throughout the course, and you provided a rationale for your public health issue selection. In Module Five, you created a logic model to identify areas for improvement in your selected health program; you also analyzed your logic model to check for existing gaps. At this point, you should have a good idea of the resources you have and those you need. For this assignment, you will write a short paper addressing the feasibility of your alternative strategic approach based on resources.

Prompt: Write a short paper addressing the feasibility of your alternative strategic approach based on resources.

Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:  

- List available resources. This does not have to be a comprehensive list, but consider the resources that you might have at your disposal for this program. This will require a bit of creative thought, but consider what is reasonably, typically available. For example, resources include people, money, and time. Assume that you have a staff and all the resources that would have been needed to create the original program, and then go from there.  

- Describe resources that are needed. Are they all included in the list of available resources, or are there gaps?  

- Explain potential challenges in obtaining the needed resources. If you have all your needed resources, are there any challenges in implementation?

Guidelines for Submission: Your paper must be submitted as a 2- to 3-page (not including cover page and references) Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, one-inch margins, and at least four sources cited in APA format.
