IHP 501 Module One Project Preparation Guidelines and Rubric

Overview

Healthcare professionals play a critical part in global health by analyzing health issues across the planet. As a healthcare professional, you may �nd an opportunity to improve speci�c health

concerns across the globe. As the world becomes more connected, your responsibility to affect change becomes more relevant and essential. These opportunities may range from medical help

to humanitarian assistance. In the course project, you will propose a humanitarian aid trip addressing a particular health challenge for a targeted population.

In this initial assignment, you will select the scenario for your humanitarian aid trip, including the population. Next, you will identify the social determinants of health for the scenario you have

chosen. According to the World Health Organization website, “The social determinants of health (SDH) are the nonmedical factors that in�uence health outcomes. They are the conditions in

which people are born, grow, work, live, and age.” Identifying these determinants are critical for the success of your project.

Prompt

To start the process of your proposal to the SNHU Humanitarian Aid Foundation, you will need to establish that you understand the details related to the location including the population and

the social determinants of health in that location. To complete this assignment, you must �rst select a scenario from the Project Guidelines and Rubric document for your proposed

humanitarian aid trip. Craft a short paper providing a rationale for your selection and a detailed analysis of the scenario, the surrounding health concerns, and the social determinants

impacting the scenario.

Note that you should cite at least three scholarly sources from your investigation. The evidence should not be older than �ve years. To access the Shapiro Library Guide: Nursing—Graduate, go

to the Start Here section of the course.

1. Scenario:  Use the Project Guidelines and Rubric document to select one scenario for the proposed humanitarian aid trip. Brie�y state the scenario selected and provide your personal

rationale for the selection of this scenario.

option and what bene�t do you believe you can bring to this challenge? This is the only section where �rst person, “I,” is acceptable.)

In two to three paragraphs, provide an evidence-based summary description of the problem.

2. Population: Describe the target population for the chosen scenario. The writing should be objective and should not include the �rst person.
