Assessment 1: Health Promotion Plan

Develop a hypothetical health promotion plan, 3-4 pages in length, addressing a specific health concern for an individual or a group living in the community that you identified from the topic list provided:

• -Bullying.
• -Teen Pregnancy.
• -LGBTQIA + Health.
• -Sudden Infant Death (SID).
• -Immunization.
• or
• -Tobacco use (include all: vaping, e-cigarettes, hookah, chewing tobacco, and smoking) cessation.

Preparation

The first step in any effective project or clinical patient encounter is planning. This assessment provides an opportunity for you to plan a hypothetical clinical learning experience focused on health promotion associated with a specific community health concern. Such a plan defines the critical elements of who, what, when, where, and why that establish the foundation for an effective clinical learning experience for the participants. 

To prepare for the assessment, consider various health concerns that you would like to be the focus of your plan from the topic list provided, the populations potentially affected by that concern, and hypothetical individuals or groups living in the community. Then, investigate your chosen concern and best practices for health improvement, based on supporting evidence.

As you begin to prepare this assessment, you are encouraged to complete the Vila Health: Effective Interpersonal Communications activity. The information gained from completing this activity will help you succeed with the assessment. Completing activities is also a way to demonstrate engagement.

For this assessment, you will propose a hypothetical health promotion plan addressing a particular health concern affecting a fictitious individual or group living in the community. The hypothetical individual or group of your choice must be living in the community; not in a hospital, assistant living, nursing home, or other facility. You may choose any health issues from the list provided in the instructions.

In the Assessment 4, you will simulate a face-to-face presentation of this plan to the individual or group that you have identified.

Instructions

• Describe in detail the characteristics of your chosen hypothetical individual or group for this activity.  Discuss why your chosen population is predisposed to this health concern and why they can benefit from a health promotion educational plan.  Based on the health concern for your hypothetical individual or group, discuss what you would include in the development of a sociogram.  Take into consideration possible social, economic, cultural, genetic, and/or lifestyle behaviors that may have an impact on health as you develop your educational plan in your first assessment.   You will take this information into consideration when you develop your educational plan in your fourth assessment.
•  
• -Identify their potential learning needs.
•  
• -Identify expectations for this educational session and offer suggestions for how the individual or group needs can be met.
•  
• -Health promotion goals need to be clear, measurable, and appropriate for this activity.

Your health promotion plan should be 3–4 pages in length.

Support your health promotion plan with peer-reviewed articles, course study resources, and Healthy People 2020 resources. Cite at least three credible sources published within the past five years, using APA format.
