SECTION TWO: Proposal Outline - Final Project Initiative Proposal

Write 2-3 paragraphs comparing and analyzing your city or county data with US data (or your country).

Similar diseases affect both San Diego County and the Nation, some of these diseases are cancer, heart diseases, stroke, Alzheimer’s diseases, Accidents (Unintentional injuries), Diabetes mellitus, Suicide (intentional self-harm), Influenza and pneumonia. Only 2 diseases that affect the national population are not popular in San Diego County.

This is a clear indication that, most of the disease problems affecting San Diego are a national problem. Although, San Diego only has 0.9% of the total population of the United States of America which is merely less than 1% of the total population. San Diego is also a point of interest because it has people of different background, hence creating an equal platform to the data collection.

State the health issue you are choosing for your population health initiative (one – two sentences):

Taking into consideration the fact that cancer as a disease is the leading cause of death and highest recorded disease in the area, it has led to the best choice for population health initiative.

Explain why you chose this health issue (one – two paragraphs):

Cancer has been chosen as a health issue because it is a disease with the leading cause of death in San Diego, and the second leading disease causing death in the United States of America. One other aspect is because there is completely no cure for cancer. In addition, it is not only affecting people in San Diego County and the United States of America but also other parts of the world.

Describe your chosen population. Be specific by providing demographics to fully explain your population (provide two – three sentences to explain why these demographics are important):

The population of San Diego is a balanced population, looking at the gender indicator for male and female, it is practically 50-50, and when one looks at the ethnic background almost every community is represented in San Diego County, hence it is a perfect platform for data collection and a health initiative.

List and describe three objectives you hope to accomplish with your initiative (one sentence for each objective). Use the SMART topics as a guide. (SMART – specific, measurable, actionable, reasonable, time bound)

1. Increase the number of cancer hospitals and staff. Comment by skipandpatdeskin: Increase the number of hospitals!

2. Creation of public awareness on cancer.

3. Organization of seminaries and tests done to people voluntarily. Comment by skipandpatdeskin: This is the wrong word here, I think

Describe two – three activities you will use to accomplish each of these objectives (one – two sentences for each activity).

Directions: Write the activity on the line by the number and then use space underneath the number to provide specific discussion. Please be specific in describing the activity. For example, if you want to have a 10 K race, state details about the event.

1. Write a letter to the governor on the need of more cancer hospitals.
