Health Promotion Program Plan Directions

This final project is an opportunity for you to synthesize the various concepts you have been exposed to over the past semester and how you will apply these concepts to a health promotion setting. Your task is to produce a hypothetical scenario where you will be implementing a health promotion initiative. To complete this, you will be producing a:

• 4 page written assessment
• In APA format (12 point Times New Roman, double-spaced, 1 inch margins all around) that will include specific concepts.

Specific concepts are:

• Cover page (not part of the 4 page requirement)
  • This should include your name, the course, and the assignment. This page must be included and is not included in your 4 page requirement for this assignment.
• Demographics
  • Please provide background on the organization receiving the initiative (name of organization, location, economic status of the organization, etc.), the target population (age range, ethnicity, gender ratio, etc.), and the various health issues you are seeking to improve.
• Theoretical Framework and health promotion components
  • Discuss what the intervention will be founded upon and why (health promotion theoretical frameworks), strategies/assessments to deliver the initiative, and components of the initiative. Examples, experiences, and citations will help to justify your position and strengthen your perspective.
• Initiative Justification
  • Throughout your discussion, cite sources and create a reference page to justify why you are taking the actions you are describing. What will the participant know and be able to do upon the completion of the curriculum to adopt and maintain a behavioral change. Provide at least 5 references and cite each at least ONCE within your paper. If you are not familiar with APA formatting, please refer to this website to learn how to set up an APA formatted paper properly and how to cite different references properly.

• Learning Outcomes
  • Create SMART goals to determine desired outcomes. How will you know learning outcomes are achieved? Please refer to this website if you are having trouble with SMART goals
    • http://www.hr.virginia.edu/uploads/documents/media/Writing_SMART_Goals.pdf
• Summary
  • Provide a closing paragraph that summarizes your program and its importance.
• Reference page (not part of the 4 page requirement)
  • This must be included and is not part of your 4 page requirement for this assignment
    • Minimum of 4 references (these should be peer reviewed articles, books, or credible websites – remember to look at the CRAAP test that Anita gave us.
    • You must have a minimum of four credible references.

Additional Information:

• MUST be uploaded as a Microsoft Word Document.
  • Double check before submission that it is in a format that I can open. If I have to email you to say I cannot open the assignment, you will automatically lose 1 point for not following this specific direction.
  • NO LATE ASSIGNMENTS will be accepted as this is almost the end of the end of the semester.
