Overview
Prepare a 4–5-page review of recent research that examines
statistics on the primary health concern of a population,
describes the methods and tools used in the research studies,
explains the factors that affect health promotion and disease
prevention for a population, and recommends a health care
initiative
Note: The assessments in this course build upon each other, so
you are strongly encouraged to complete them in sequence.
The ability to locate, evaluate, and apply research is an
important skill for nurses to develop in order to provide
evidence-based care for individuals, families, communities, and
health care systems.
By successfully completing this assessment, you will
demonstrate your proficiency in the following course
competencies and assessment criteria:
•Competency 1: Explain the principles and concepts of disease
prevention and health promotion for diverse and vulnerable
populations. ◦Compare the statistics for a health concern of a
vulnerable or diverse population to the statistics for the general
population.
◦Explain the factors that affect health promotion and disease
prevention for a vulnerable or diverse population.
◦Recommend an evidence-based health care initiative for a
specific health care concern of a vulnerable or diverse
population.
•Competency 3: Apply basic epidemiological concepts, data

analysis methods, tools, and databases to determine the
effectiveness of health promotion and disease prevention
initiatives for diverse and vulnerable populations. ◦Describe the
epidemiological concepts, data analysis methods, tools, and
databases used in research studies related to health concerns for
a vulnerable or diverse population.
◦Describe health care initiatives used by organizations to
address the health care concerns of vulnerable or diverse
populations.
•Competency 5: Communicate in a manner that is scholarly,
professional, and consistent with expectations for members of
the health care professions. ◦Write content clearly and logically,
with correct use of grammar, punctuation, and mechanics.
◦Correctly format paper, citations, and references using APA
style.
Context
It is crucial for health educators to exemplify how health
practitioners in general should communicate with different
clients, demonstrating how to interact with racially and
ethnically diverse populations in order to provide adequate
health information that encourages clients to make decisions
concerning their health and health care. As a provider, you must
continually advocate for effective cross-cultural communication
and remember to focus on the important elements of
communication, cultural sensitivity, marketing techniques, and
language barriers as you carry out your role and function in
various environments (Pérez & Luquis, 2014).
Questions to Consider
To deepen your understanding, you are encouraged to consider
the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a
work associate, an interested friend, or a member of the
business community.
•How do verbal and nonverbal forms of communication affect
overall communication?
•What types of research studies, data analysis methods, and

databases will be most helpful in developing an effective health
promotion and wellness plan for the population you identified in
the Windshield Survey assessment?

Assessment Instructions
Preparation
Your team has presented its preliminary findings to the
executive leadership in your organization, but leadership has
some doubts about some of the information they received. Each
member of the team has been charged with doing a critical
examination of recent research around each member's area of

expertise. As the team's nursing representative, you need to
look specifically at the health care concerns identified in the
Windshield Survey assessment.
The first step in preparing to write a review of the research is to
define your topic. For this assessment, your review will provide
a comprehensive overview of the needs of the population you
identified in the Windshield Survey assessment in terms of
health promotion and disease prevention, the factors that
contribute to health disparities for the population, and the need
for the organization to improve health care delivery to the
population.
In the Capella library, search for current scholarly or peer-
reviewed professional research articles that:
•Examine the health care risks and needs of your population.
•Analyze the need to improve health care delivery to the
population.
•Evaluate, critically, the factors that affect health promotion
and disease prevention for the population.
•Examine strategies to reduce health disparities for your
population.
Locate at least 5–7 resources so that you can eliminate 2–3 if
necessary. You may discover, for example, as you read each
article more in-depth, that they may not all have the focus you
need for your review.
Requirements
For this assessment, you need to develop several points around
which to apply the research from the articles you located.
Specifically, you need to:
•Compare statistics for the primary health concern of your
population to the rest of the general population in the United
States. This would include frequency of occurrence, age groups
most at risk, frequency of fatality, and so on.
•Describe the epidemiological concepts, data analysis methods,
tools, and databases used in the research studies you located.
Address any flaws or biases you believe are present.
•Explain the factors that affect health promotion and disease

prevention for the population. (Hint: These may be things such
as language barriers, cultural values, generational differences,
social fear, and access to services.)
•Describe the types of health care initiatives that have been
tried by other organizations specifically for the primary health
care concern or the population.
•Recommend one health care initiative for your population,
based on your research,
These should be the ideas, or points, that your review is based
on. For each point, present all of the evidence you located. For
this assessment, that should be at least four current research
articles, although not all of the articles will typically offer
evidence on all of your points.
Be sure your assessment includes:
•An introduction that presents the points you will cover.
•The body that presents the research on the points.
•A conclusion that restates the points in your introduction.
Your assessment should be 4–5 pages in length, not including
the title page and reference page. Be sure you follow APA
guidelines for style and format.
Additional Requirements
•Include a title page and reference page. The completed
assessment should be 4–5 pages in length, not including the title
page and reference page.
•Reference at least four current scholarly or professional
resources. No more than 5 years old
•Use current APA format.
•Use Times New Roman font, 12 point.
•Double-space.
