I’m trying to study for my Health & Medical course and I need some help to understand this question.
Assignment Overview: For this assignment, you will assume that you are employed by the local Health Department as a public health professional (any one of the five local counties in northern VA). You have been approached by a funder, called the Champion for a Healthy City Foundation, to submit a proposal for a grant. The Foundation is excited to fund programs that address specific, identified health needs within the local community. The Health Department recently compiled a summary of key health indicators that focus on health behaviors, morbidity and mortality. The information can be found on the community health dashboard. The Foundation is soliciting proposals for programs that will focus on improving the health of the community using the information on the website. You will use the Generalized Model for the planning of your program.
The Foundation has shared that grants will be awarded in the amount of up to $100,000 for a 12-month program.
Your Program Proposal will be broken down into four (4) written parts plus a presentation:
Program Proposal Part 1 will include a title, at least 5 references and a 2-3 page rationale that includes relevant and specific data and background on the health issue and community chosen, a health behavior theory or model and at least one evidence-based strategy.
Due 2/10/2020: Program Proposal Part 1 will include a title, at least 5 references and a 2-3 page rationale that includes relevant and specific data and background on the health issue and community chosen, a health behavior theory or model and at least one evidence-based strategy. This is worth 50 points.
- Your first step is to review the website (community health dashboard for your chosen county) and select a health topic. Everyone must pick a health topic identified on the site.
- After you identify a specific health topic (or problem), review the Community Guide website (or similar) to identify an evidence-based strategy or intervention. This will be the focus of your proposal.
- Find at least 5 references that you will use in developing your rationale. You will need tolist these 5 references in correct APA format. Your references will be reviewed for the variety of sources you are using, the titles of the sources you are using and the relevancy of the information to your topic.
- Write a 2-3 page rationale. This will include background and data on the health topic, a description of the community of interest, why the health topic is a problem, how you propose to address the health topic and expected outcomes/benefits.
Your papers are to be be typed, 12 pt. Times New Roman font, double spaced with 1″ margins and a .Word .doc or .docx. Any sources you use should be cited as per APA guidelines.
