To prepare:
- Think about your chosen health behavior issue and target population. How will you specifically design and implement your program? What challenges will you face? These issues are addressed in this week’s Application Assignment. ( see attached population paper that explains my populations which is service members and vet) and the program I chose.
In approximately 5 pages, address the following:
- Methodology: This section should outline your approach, in careful detail, as the award recipient to work with providers, community partners, and/or other key stakeholders in addressing the gaps indicated above to implement your health behavior change program. What type of program are you proposing? How/where will it be implemented, how often, and how much? What are your primary outcomes to measure change? Who will you partner with to deliver the program?
- Example areas/approaches to discuss in this section may include patient education, resource development, culturally based approaches to a particular problem, the development telemedicine of peer support or other social networks, health information technology, telehealth, or. If you plan to engage a group of stakeholders, how will you do it? What role will they play? These are some of the many things you should address.
- Lastly, you should clearly connect your program to a health behavior theory that will serve to inform your program evaluation in Week 9. (approximately 3 pages)
- Work Plan: The work plan provides a succinct overview of the project’s goals, objectives, activities and projected outcomes in table format. It must include each activity, responsible staff, partners or contractors, timeframe for completing the activity, progress or process measures, and the intended outcome. (approximately 1 page)(see attached plan format.
- Program Challenges: Explain challenges you might encounter when attempting to implement your program with the target population, including communication and logistical issues. Explain how you would address those challenges. (approximately 1 page)
