PUBH WEEK 5 DISCUSSION

Within public health, collaboration, sharing, and iteration are all used often in designing, developing, monitoring, and evaluating health interventions and programs. Your colleagues have different experiences and perspectives that have the potential to elevate individual ideas to something greater. Consider, for example, an intervention that specifically targets high school seniors who are planning the next phase of life. Although you may have experience working with individuals of this age, consider how your perspective may differ from someone in a different type of geographic location or someone in a different age group from you. A colleague who has planned similar programs could also offer insight and assistance.

In this Discussion, you will share with your classmates your Final Assignment health issue and your plan to address it. You will provide feedback and ideas to contribute to your peers’ plans and cultivate your collaborative skills.
