This document outlines guidelines for a health promotion paper assignment. It establishes the purpose of applying health promotion concepts to address a health issue for a specific cultural population. Students must choose a topic from the Healthy People 2020 Leading Health Indicators and receive approval for their topic. The paper should include an introduction and conclusion, relate the topic to the target population with supporting statistics, summarize at least three scholarly articles on the topic, discuss health promotion approaches for the population, and follow APA style guidelines. A grading rubric is provided to evaluate students' application of knowledge across these required sections.

Improving Classroom Management through Behavior
Modification
Data Collection
This study conducted will mainly be a qualitative research that
will utilize a number of sources of data assembly which will
allow the inclusion of a variety of behavioral complications as
well as an in-depth understanding of these issues. The
methodology selected will allow both the collection of
quantitative and qualitative data, the prior which will be used to
compute the qualitative data. The study requires the notification
and consent of the school authorities as well as the 30
participants to be selected as the sample group for this study.
The students who participate in the study are to be selected
through inclusion/ exclusion criteria of set Behavior Analysis
Sheets. The study will also aim to maintain a 1:1 ration of boys
to girls in the total sample size of selected students. The
methodology chosen for collecting data will use interviews and
observation as strategies for gathering information. (Dr.

6. Parsonson, 2015)
The interview sessions will be organized into three distinctive
and parallel schedules. This will require a group of
approximately 5 administrators, 5 teachers and 10 students per
teacher’s classroom (totaling 50 students). (Guardino &
Fullerton, 2018) The interviews are selected as a technique that
encourage the interaction between the students who form the
sample study group and their instructors. This allows the
teachers to communicate on a deeper level with their own
students hence highlighting the different interpretations and
perspectives through focused questions. The second set of
interviews that will be filled by the instructors will be used to
gather results on the sustainability and success or failure of
implementation of different behavior modification strategies.
The information gathered through the interviews will be
analyzed and processed using the content analysis method.
(Simonsen, Myers, Sugai, Briesch, & Fairbanks, 2016)
The observation process will be used to evaluate the particular
behavioral issues of the target group of students. Through this
process, interventions will be arranged to implement different
behavior modification stratagems for their specific identified
behavior complications and the results thereof recorded by the
instructors assigned to the sample classrooms (1 teacher per 10
students). (Simonsen, Myers, Sugai, Briesch, & Fairbanks,
2016) These will be half-hour behavior modification sessions
that will be applied bi-weekly, forming intervals with the
interview sessions.
The methods are used to collect information on the identified
behavioral issues which will be used to categorize the students
of different classes and matched against the effective behavioral
modification strategies that are identified as most effective. The
study will also delve into measuring the frequency of the
occurrence of certain behaviors within the set time periods of
the determined research sessions. The study will also attempt to
determine the impact of the implemented strategies in
addressing the behavioral tendencies of the students that were to

7. be modified. (Goldstein & Mather, 2019)
The rationale of using this methodology is to compare data
collected from the strategies applied in the sessions to the
baseline data that is recorded by instructors before the
intervention is initiated. This will thus enable the researcher to
measure if and to what extent students benefit from evidence-
based techniques as well as to help in the identification of the
relationship between the behavioral issues vis-à-vis the
classroom management strategies. This forms the basis of the
qualitative data analysis and will guide the answering of the
research questions in the results section of this study.
