Sampling Methodology
It is incumbent on the researcher to clearly define the target population. Sometimes, the entire population is small enough to be included in the study. In other instances, the population is too large for the researcher to attempt to survey all of its members. Therefore, a small, but carefully chosen sample is used to represent the population. The sample is the actual group targeted either directly or indirectly and reflects the characteristics of the population from which it is drawn.
Using the South University Online Library or the Internet, research, analyze, and select at least two articles on sampling methodology used in public health research studies.
Note: The articles should not be more than two years old.
Based on the articles identified, create a 2- to 3-page Microsoft Word document that includes the following:

  • A synopsis on the perspective of the sampling methodology used in your selected articles related to public health research studies.
  • Your opinion on whether the sampling method used in each of your chosen articles is appropriate for its target population. Justify your response.
  • An explanation of the potential advantages and disadvantages of the sampling plan used in your selected articles.

Support your responses with examples.
Cite any sources in APA format.

Community & Public Health, Population-based
Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP)
Assignment Overview
Now that you have conducted a community health needs assessment and identified a priority health concern within your county, you will explore and create a portfolio of evidence-based interventions that address the community’s primary health concern and vulnerable population. You will also share information about existing programs, services and partnerships in place in your county to address the primary health concern. The assignment includes a 6-8 page scholarly paper in APA format. This is an individual assignment, based on the results of your Community Health Assessment (on your county).
Suggested Resources for Evidence-based Interventions
Begin with the CDC Community Health Improvement Navigator, Database of Interventions to identify interventions that work in four action areas—socioeconomic factors, physical environment, health behaviors, and clinical care. Review the Database of Interventions Glossary to refine your search to describe a minimum of three interventions to improve the health of your target population across various action areas and settings.
