Summarize an epidemiological overview of the public health issue (e.g., type 2 diabetes) and the underlying health behaviors (e.g., poor nutrition, lack of exercise) for a chosen population
The topic is HIV/AIDS Prevention Disparities in the African American Community
Review of Theoretical Interventions[WLOs: 2, 4] [CLOs: 1, 2, 3, 4]
Prior to beginning work on this final paper, read Chapter 12 and Chapter 15 in your course textbook. The final assignment for this course is the paper that you have been drafting in Weeks 1 through 5 and will finalize in Week 6. The purpose of the Review of Theoretical Interventions paper is for you to culminate the learning achieved in the course by systematically evaluating peer-reviewed evaluations of behavioral interventions or programs designed to reduce a health disparity topic you have selected. In this review, you will determine the relevant theoretical frameworks (e.g., Health Belief Model (HBM), etc.) and programmatic characteristics (e.g., format, duration, types of activities, behavioral change techniques, etc.) that had a measurable effect on the health behavior of interest. You will propose a novel intervention strategy based on the conclusions of the review that is theoretically driven and culturally competent for your targeted population. As you have worked on the paper each week, you will have used both peer and instructor discussion feedback before key sections. This week, you will combine the five assignments into a final paper and make your final edits before turning it in. You will also have a separate Week 6 assignment to present your intervention as a screencast presentation.
