Education

Overview:
For this submission, due in Module Seven, you will submit your
program or intervention analysis (Childhood Depression).
In this submission, you should identify a local, national or
international program or intervention that addresses your
selected issue and assess its impact on the issue at the
respective level (local, national or international impact). You
should identify any contributions that have been made by public
health agencies, positions, or roles with regard to your selected
issue and discuss the impact that each had on program or
intervention outcomes. Then, evaluate the success of the
selected program or intervention, giving justification for your
evaluation. Identify the social and behavioral factors that the
program or intervention addressed, and evaluate whether or not
addressing these factors contributed to the success of the
program or intervention, making sure to justify your reasoning.
Similarly, identify the determinants of health that this program
or intervention addressed and evaluate whether or not
addressing the determinants contributed to the success of the
program or intervention, making sure to justify your reasoning.
Analyze the program or intervention’s use of public health
principles and theories to promote behavior change. What
principles and theories were used? How did the use of these
principles and theories promote behavior change? Discuss and
analyze any challenges that you feel the program or intervention
may have faced. If you feel that no challenges were
encountered, what do you think were some challenges that the
program or intervention could have faced? Finally, explain how
you feel the program or intervention could have been improved,
making sure to apply basic public health principles or theories
discussed in the course, and taking care to support your claims.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
I. Program or Intervention Analysis

A. Identify a local, national, or international program or
intervention that addresses your issue and assess the
impact
of the program or intervention on the issue at that level.
B. What contributions have been made by public health
agencies
, positions, or roles with regard to this program or intervention,
and how did their contributions impact outcomes?
C. Evaluate the success of the selected program or intervention
(whether it was successful or not). Be sure to justify your
evaluation.
D. What social and behavioral
factors
did this program or intervention address, and did addressing
these factors contribute to the success of the program or
intervention? Why or why not?

HCM 3305, Community Health 1 Course Learning Outcomes for Unit VIII Upon completion of this unit, students should be able to: 3. Recognize effective organization and promotion of health programming for community health on a global scale. 3.1. Assess the steps for organizing a community health program. 3.2. Identify steps needed to effectively evaluate the community health program. Reading Assignment Chapter 15: Systems Thinking and Leadership in Community and Public Health Unit Lesson In this unit, we will discuss systems thinking and community health programming. Community organizing is a process that involves the engagement of individuals, groups, and organizations. Program planning is not required in community organizing; however, it is often times used. Program planning is a process where a health intervention is planned to meet the needs within a population. Antiviolence campaigns and stress management courses are examples of program planning (McKenzie, Pinger, & Kotecki, 2012). When deciding which community health interventions to create, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) uses Guide to Community Preventive Services (Community Guide). The Community Guide is considered credible because it is based off the scientific systematic review process. The guide answers many questions that are critical to community health on subjects such as  interventions that have worked/did not work,  populations in which the intervention worked/did not work,  cost of the intervention,  benefits/risks of the intervention, and  future research recommendations (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2015). Community health programs are intricate and are a key factor in disease prevention, improving health, and increasing quality of life. Health status and behaviors are determined by personal, environmental, policy, and organizational influences. Community health programming is targeted at reaching the goals of Healthy People 2010. Community health programs are generally held within healthcare settings; however, other settings are becoming more popular. Programs are being held at schools, worksites, religious organizations, and within communities (Healthy People 2020, 2015). There are instances where healthcare organizations are collaborating with schools to offer health programs. For instance, nutrition and exercise programs are being offered at an increased rate. Employers see the value of employee health. Therefore, many employers offer incentives to employees who take part in employee wellness programs. It is not far fetched to hear about employers checking cholesterol, blood pressure, quality of life, weight, BMI, and sometimes glucose. The rationale is that healthy employees are less likely to call in sick with health-related conditions. Community health professionals must identify their health issue, and then create specific and measurable goals and objectives. ...

Process of Planning and Evaluation The process of planning and evaluation is cyclical and their activities are interdependent. The activities happen in stages; the end of one activity or program leads to the next. The ideas, insights, and learning derived from a particular stage are likely to affect the decisions and activities of the next stage. Despite this, the process of planning and evaluation is usually presented in a linear manner with sequential steps. The cycle is often affected by external influences. Planners and evaluators need to be flexible in responding to these influences Health Program Models Good health programs involve a good deal of effort and a well-developed model. These models provide direction and structure to the program to be built on. The models may not be used completely during the planning process, or various parts of the model may be combined to suit the program. There are some commonly used models in health program planning: · Predisposing, Reinforcing, and Enabling Constructs in Educational Diagnosis and Evaluation (PRECEDE)-Policy, Regulatory, and Organizational Constructs in Educational and Environmental Development (PROCEED): Commonly known as the PRECEDE-PROCEED model, it is the most well-known model in this field because it is theoretically grounded and comprehensive. Planning, implementation, and evaluation are all combined in this model. · The Model for Health Education Planning (MHEP) analyzes: · Planning through six phases · Content through three dimensions―subject matter, method, and process · The Comprehensive Health Education Model (CHEM) consists of six major steps and several suggested procedures within each step. · The Model for Health Education Planning and Resource Development (MHEPRD) is a less known model. The five major components of this model are―health education plans, demonstration programs, educational programs, research programs, and information and statistics. Each component represents the end result of the planning process. In this model, evaluation plays an integral part in each phase of the model. Written Assignment 1: Quality of Simulation Chapter 3 discusses methods to assess the quality of simulations. You learned about three different views of simulation quality. Suppose you lead a task force that is developing a simulation to provide strategic planning recommendations for property use zoning for a county of 750,000 residents. The zoning board and county commissioners want a simulation that allows them to assess the impact of various zoning decisions based on a variety of dynamic factors, including age, race, education, and income status. Submit a 2-page (double-spaced) paper addressing the following: 1. First, identify which of the three views discussed in the chapter that would provide the best quality assessment for the situation described above, and explain your decision. 2. Explain how would you ensure the highest level of accuracy with your simulation, and how w ...

A textbook must provide, first and foremost, information to assist the reader in better understanding the topic. Second, it ought to provide the information in a way that can be easily accessed and digested, and it needs to be credible. Textbooks that have gone through multiple editions continue to improve as a result of reviewers’ comments and readers’ feedback, and this one is no exception. Looking back over the efforts associated with this Fifth Edition, the old wedding custom of “something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue” comes to mind. We have built upon the solid foundation of previous editions, but then added “something new.” It almost goes without saying that we have “borrowed” from others in that we both cite and quote examples of program evaluation studies from the literature. “Something blue” . . . well, we’re not sure about that. Those who have used the Fourth Edition might be interested in knowing what has changed in this new edition. Based on reviewers’ comments we have: • Created a new chapter to explain sampling. • Incorporated new material on designing questionnaires. • Overhauled the chapter on qualitative evaluation. It is now “Qualitative and Mixed Methods in Evaluation.” • Reworked the “Formative and Process Evaluation” chapter with expanded coverage on developing logic models. • Added new studies and references; new Internet sources of information. • Included new examples of measurement instruments (scales) with a macro focus. • Inserted new checklists and guides (such as ways to minimize and monitor for potential fidelity problems—Chapter 13). • Revised the chapter “Writing Evaluation Proposals, Reports, and Journal Articles” to give it less of an academic slant. There’s new material on writing executive summaries and considerations in planning and writing evaluation reports for agencies. • Deleted the chapter on Goal Attainment Scalin

Step 1: Engage Stakeholders The first step in the CDC Framework approach to program evaluation is to engage the stakeholders. Stakeholders are people or organizations that are invested in the program, are interested in the results of the evaluation, and/or have a stake in what will be done with the results of the evaluation. Representing their needs and interests throughout the process is fundamental to good program evaluation. Typical Stakeholders in Public Health Key stakeholders for evaluations of public health programs fall into three major groups: • Those involved in program operations: Management, program staff, partners, funding agencies, and coalition members. • Those served or affected by the program: Patients or clients, advocacy groups, community members, and elected officials. • Those who are intended users of the evaluation findings: Persons in a position to make decisions about the program, such as partners, funding agencies, coalition members, and the general public or taxpayers. Clearly, these categories are not mutually exclusive; in particular, the primary users of evaluation findings are often members of the other two groups, i.e., the program management or an advocacy organization or coalition. While you may think you know your stakeholders well, these categories help you to think broadly and inclusively in identifying stakeholders. Potential Stakeholders in Public Health Programs • Program managers and staff. • Local, state, and regional coalitions interested in the public health issue. • Local grantees of your funds. • Local and national advocacy partners. • Other funding agencies, such as national and state governments. • State or local health departments and health commissioners. • State education agencies, schools, and other educational groups. • Universities and educational institutions. • Local government, state legislators, and state governors. • Privately owned businesses and business associations. • Health care systems and the medical community. • Religious organizations. • Community organizations. • Private citizens. • Program critics. • Representatives of populations disproportionately affected by the problem. • Law enforcement representatives. Introduction to Program Evaluation for Public Health Programs Page 13 Why Stakeholders are Important to an Evaluation Stakeholders can help (or hinder) an evaluation before it is conducted, while it is being conducted, and after the results are collected and ready for use. Because so many public health efforts are complex and because public health agencies may be several layers removed from frontline implementation, stakeholders take on particular importance in ensuring that the right evaluation questions are identified and that evaluation results will be used to make a difference. Stakeholders are much more likely to support the evaluation and act on the results and recommendations if they are involved.

Competency Develop examples of ethical and privacy concerns associated with data supporting business intelligence efforts. Instructions You work for a tourism board at a top destination within the United States that among other tasks, sends information out to potential visitors, performs direct mailing campaigns, solicits newsletter sign ups, and helps drive economic growth by attracting visitors to the destination. The direct mailing team for your organization accomplishes this through email blasts, mailing flyers, and texting campaigns. The address list the organization has in place is seen as a strategic advantage, as it has extensive information about potential and repeat visitors, and has been compiled from various sources over the years. The organization has recently developed a mobile application and hopes to leverage mobile devices and tablets to help make obtaining information easier for the visitors, as well as collecting more information on patterns of consumer behavior. Since the mobile application will have access to a great deal of personal information belonging to the users (email address, GPS data, phone number, etc.), it has been suggested this information be automatically uploaded to the direct mailing database, and signing them up for various promotional efforts and communications. It had also been suggested there may be an opportunity for the marketing department to partner with the local theme parks and attractions within the area, sharing the databases from each to form one large database to reach more users. The idea has been presented to the organization's legal counsel for review, as the IT team is fairly certain the end user agreement for the mobile application states the collected information can be reused and sold as needed. The public relations team has taken a different position and feels there is potential for backlash in social media as well as other public outcries should the data be sold to or shared with other organizations, and questions whether the data should even be stored since there are additional pieces of data being collected that have no purposeful use for the tourism board. They have asked for your input on the matter. The questions they are presenting you with include: What are the general practices surrounding data collection? How can privacy violations occur? Are there any risks, issues, or problems associated with collecting and storing data that isn’t needed now, in the event it may be needed in the future? What information do other organizations collect? The end user agreement says we CAN collect, reuse, and sell data as needed, but does that mean we should? Is there a level of ethical data collection and storage that we should be considering? The task: In addition to the presentation, prepare a memo to the head of the public relations department outlining any possible risks associated with collecting and using the data in the manner described. Your report should include general.

Competency Assess the development of societal standards in relation to social media and how this can alter social norms in everyday life. Instructions The prevalence of social media has had a huge impact on society in the area of how we tend to relate to each other and on what is considered to be normal in general. Taking a look at the ways in which social media changes attitudes and "norms" makes for an interesting study, and one that is applicable to understanding how society is slowly changing over time. For this assignment, you will first conduct your own research on the effects of social media on societal norms (Part 1), then you will examine what has been found through previous research conducted by others (Part 2). Part 1: Compare and contrast the attitudes of two cohorts of people; one that consists of five people that rarely use social media and one cohort of five people that uses social media 2 or more hours a day. Create a list of five people that you know that use social media at least 2 or more hours per day. This group of people will make up your first cohort. Then create a list of five people that you know that either do not use social media or use it very rarely. Take into account age when creating the cohorts, and try to keep the ages as similar as possible between the cohorts. Keeping a certain level of consistency in the two cohorts will help to negate the potential effects of generational differences. Provide a brief description of each of the ten people you are going to interview divided into their respective cohorts. In other words, list the five people in the social media at least 2 or more hours a day, and provide a brief description of each along with why you chose them. Then provide a list of the five people that rarely or never use social media, and provide a brief description of each along with why you chose them. Interview the participants to learn the similarities and differences between the two cohorts as it relates to attitudes, lifestyles, and relationships. Write a two-page paper comparing and contrasting what you learned about the two cohorts. Be sure to relate your findings to cultivation theory and socialization theory in the paper. Part 2: Now you will compare your research with research findings through previous research conducted by others. Look up at least 3 articles in the Rasmussen Library that relate to the topic of social media and its impact on society. You are not limited to articles that are strictly written on the specific topic of social media and norms. Articles that are covering social media and society are available from a wide number of angles. After studying these articles, write a two-page paper on what you learned on the topic of social media and its potential impact on societal attitudes, customs, and norms. .

Competency Checklist and Professional Development Resources An important and yet often overlooked function of leadership in an early childhood program is the ability to positively influence the people in the program. For this group assignment, consider the characteristics of a leader who can support and lead teachers in reflective teaching. This type of self-reflection is the first step to understanding how a supervisor supports teachers to accomplish their goals through mentoring. For this assignment, your group will need to address the following two components: Part 1 : Consider the following question as your group completes the competency checklist below: What might be evidence that a teacher leader possesses the competence to also be a mentor? You are encouraged to evenly divide the competencies among your group, so that each member contributes to providing brief examples of interactions while highlighting the characteristic(s) that demonstrates each competency. While this portion can be completed independently, you should then collaborate to ensure that each group member provides feedback before submitting the full collaborative document. competency checklist Part 2: Professional Development Resources Document –Early childhood programs have numerous curriculum options which may contribute to a need to support teachers and staff in a curriculum context they are not familiar with. Therefore, as we prepare to support protégés, we can refer to the National Association of the Education of Young Children core standards for professional development, to promote the use of best practices. These six core standards, briefly describe what early childhood professionals should know and be able to do. After reading each of the NAEYC Standards for Early Childhood Professional Preparation Programs (Links to an external site.) , focus on the first four standards: STANDARD 1. PROMOTING CHILD DEVELOPMENT AND LEARNING STANDARD 2. BUILDING FAMILY AND COMMUNITY RELATIONSHIPS STANDARD 3. OBSERVING, DOCUMENTING, AND ASSESSING TO SUPPORT YOUNG CHILDREN AND FAMILIES STANDARD 4. USING DEVELOPMENTALLY EFFECTIVE APPROACHES Directions: Each group will be assigned a different standard and each member will add at least one resource (such as yearly conferences, websites, leaders in the field, articles, blogs, etc.) that support that specific core standard. The resources will be organized on the attached Google Spreadsheet (which will also record who is submitting each resource). Through this group and class collaborative effort, you will be able to add resources from multiple perspectives that you can later include in your own mentoring portfolio.Be sure to include any relevant information and the following: the APA citation (article) or organization name/contact information (address, phone number, website). a brief description of their services in supporting early childhood professionals in their own growth and development.
