Instructions:

Step 1: Choose an Intervention

Choose from the interventions you wrote in the Week 9 Community Health Needs Assessment Assignment that you would like to develop further into a proposed project.

Step 2: Research Your Intervention Idea

Social Factors: Research your chosen community’s social factors that relate to the identified health need. Some of this information can be found at City-Data.com.

Literature: Locate research literature related to your chosen community health need and suggested intervention.

State/Local Laws and Policies: Identify state and local laws and policies to support and empower the community in this endeavor.

Health Indicators: Identify quality health indicators (found on the HealthyPeople2030 website) that measure outcomes of the intervention.

By relying on this research, and citing and referencing the research appropriately, you are enacting evidence-based practice.

·        Address major risk factors, health disparities, predisposing factors, and socioeconomic factors of the population you are working with.

·        Outline your proposed project

·        Describe how you will measure its community health outcomes.

·        Provide statistics and data to convince readers that your project will work to improve the community health need you chose in your Community Health Need Assessment.

 

Note: References are required and must be from scholarly sources and government websites. The paper and references must be in APA format.
