Compare and Contrast Health Promotion Program Planning Models

Chapter 3 of our textbook describes various health promotion planning  models that can be used to create a health promotion program. Each  planning model has unique strengths and weaknesses. It is important to  understand the differences and be able to determine which model is most  appropriate for the health issue being addressed. For this assignment,  you will compare and contrast the strengths and weaknesses of two  different health promotion planning models and explain how each of the  models were used to develop a health promotion program.
To  begin, select two of the health promotion program planning models  described in chapter 3. Provide a brief description of each model in  your own words. Explain the key constructs and phases of each model.  Then, using the Ashford Library, identify two scholarly journal articles  that discuss health promotion interventions that utilized the health  promotion planning models you selected (one article for each model).  Examine how the planning model was used to create the intervention.  Then, compare and contrast the usefulness of each model in creating a  health promotion program. Summarize two strengths and two weaknesses of  each model and how they compare to the other model. Finally, explain the  best strategy for determining how to select the most appropriate health  promotion program planning model for an intervention.

describe the policies that already exist in your state and explain how your initiative might alter these existing policies.

Discussion: Social Policy: Child Abuse and Neglect

Protecting children from abuse and neglect is a cornerstone of the social work profession. Social work professionals strive to ensure that children grow into healthy, well-developed adults. They also develop, implement, and evaluate policy initiatives regarding child welfare. Such initiatives should aim to not only reduce child abuse and neglect, but also provide support for children’s development and resources that will enhance their well-being. As a social worker, to what extent do you understand the existing policies addressing child abuse and neglect? In addition, how prepared are you to propose new policy initiatives in this regard?

For this Discussion, review the resources, including the NASW’s policy statement on child abuse and neglect on the NASW website. Pick one of the NASW positions and consider a policy initiative you would introduce to further that initiative. Be sure to think about the policies that already exist in your state and how this initiative might alter existing policies.

Post

1-a brief description of the position you selected from the NASW policy statement on child abuse and neglect.

2-Then, describe a policy initiative you might introduce to further that position.

3-Finally, describe the policies that already exist in your state and explain how your initiative might alter these existing policies.

Support your post with specific references to the resources. Be sure to provide full APA citations for your references.

Assignment: Journal Entry–Intersection and Religious Discrimination

When pieces of cloth are sewn together, you might have trouble discerning the individual pieces of cloth that make the final garment, but by looking carefully, you can find the seams. You may have experienced similar difficulty in the first week of this course when asked to explore the individual aspects of culture that combine to create your unique self-identity. Forms of oppression can come together often in almost imperceptible ways to form the complex environment in which you and your clients live and interact. As a social worker, you must examine carefully the intersections between religious discrimination, sexism, classism, and racism so you can respond accordingly.

To prepare: Consider this week’s resources that describe how religion intersects with other forms of oppression.

Submit an assignment of 2-3pages 

1-your response to those resources and analyze what you think is the role of religion in reinforcing sexism, classism, and racism.

2-Provide at least one specific example for each -ism (sexism, classism, and racism).

3-As a social worker, how can you address these issues on a micro and macro level?

MAPP Model Needs Assessment and Identification of an FOA Presentation In this assignment, you will complete a public health needs assessment MAPP matrix template. Next, you will utilize the FOA that addresses the public health intervention that addresses your chosen topic. You will then create a PowerPoint presentation that demonstrates your chosen public health intervention and provides information about your MAPP matrix and the pertinent FOA.

Part I: Conduct an MAPP Matrix Needs Assessment

Conduct a public health needs assessment using the MAPP model. It will result in a MAPP matrix, which identifies a public health need in which you are personally interested.

All MAPP information can be obtained from the National Association of City and County Health Officials (NACCHO) Web site at the following:

  • National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO). (2012). Mobilizing for action through planning and partnerships (MAPP). Retrieved from http://www.naccho.org/topics/infrastructure/mapp/index.cfm

Four assessments of the MAPP model and the issues they address are described below:

  • Community Themes and Strengths Assessments: This assessment results in a deeper understanding of the issues that residents feel are important by answering the questions:

a. What is important to our community?

b. How is quality of life perceived in our community?

c. What assets do we have that can be used to improve community health?

  • Local Public Health System Assessment (LPHSA): This assessment focuses on all the organizations and entities that contribute to the public’s health. The LPHSA answers the questions:
    1. What are the components, activities, competencies, and capacities of our local public health system?
    2. How are the essential services being provided to our community?
  • Community Health Status Assessment: This assessment identifies priority community health and quality-of-life issues. Questions answered include:

a. How healthy are our residents?

b. What does the health status of our community look like?

  • Forces of Change Assessment: This assessment focuses on identifying forces such as legislation, technology, and other impending changes that affect the context in which the community and its public health system operate. This answers the questions:

a. What is occurring or might occur that affects the health of our community or the local public health system?

b. What specific threats or opportunities are generated by these occurrences?

Part II: Identify Funding Opportunity

After you have completed your public health needs assessment matrix template, you will create a presentation that addresses the following:

  • Identify your chosen public health intervention that relates to your MPH coursework.
  • Explain how (using the MAPP Model) you completed the matrix template to identify your chosen public health intervention. 
  • Explain why the intervention is an important initiative.
  • Identify whom the intervention will assist (target audience).
  • Explain the general requirements of the FOA.
  • Describe, at a high-level, your intended approach in response to your chosen public health intervention, if awarded this grant.

Develop an 8–10-slide presentation in Microsoft PowerPoint format. Be sure to use speaker notes at the bottom of each slide to provide detailed information. If you know how to insert an audio file, feel free to use that approach as well. Your goal is to fully inform your audience about your chosen public health intervention and chosen FOA. Utilize at least 3–5 scholarly sources in your research and be sure to include a references page. Cite all sources on a separate page using APA standards. Write in a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources; and display accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_W3_A2.ppt.
