Overview
It is essential that the hypotheses and design of epidemiological research studies use the best methods and knowledge to further understand issues of concern and exposure in the community. It is expected that all research has scientific merit, has a hypothesis that warrants study, is competently conducted, and produces findings that are the result of good scientific effort.
Instructions
Propose an intervention to address an identified public health issue in your community of interest. Review a minimum of five previous intervention studies, and propose one intervention study that would be the best solution to address the problem and how you will manage implementation of the intervention.
Your proposed intervention should include the following information:
- Background Information.What is the intervention?Why is this evidence translatable?Who is the target population?What is the rationale this intervention would be the solution to the problem?
- Methodology.Identify the study design.Discuss the theoretical framework for the study.Explain the implementation strategy.Explain how collaboration will play a role in the implementation of this study.Explain what data will be collected.Explain how the data will be analyzed.Discuss the potential ethical issues that may impact the intervention.Discuss the IRB process for the study.Include the proposed time to see the results of the intervention.
- Results/Conclusion.What are the expected outcomes and impact? Is the problem decreased or eliminated?What are the conclusions of this study in addressing this problem?What are the strengths and limitations of this study?Who will you share the findings with?How will these findings be disseminated?
- Contingency steps should the proposed intervention method for the identified problem fail.What would you change in your intervention strategy?Would you conduct more research?Would you try the intervention strategy again?Would you choose another intervention? Why?
Document Format and Length
Format your proposal using APA style.
- Use the APA Style Paper Template, linked in the assignment resources. An APA Style Paper Tutorial is also provided to help you in writing and formatting your plan. Be sure to include:A title page and references page.A 250–300-word abstract.Appropriate section headings.
- Your assignment should be 5–9 pages in length, not including the title page and references page.
- Proposal RequirementsThe requirements outlined below correspond to the grading criteria in the Applying Epidemiological Methods to an Intervention Study Scoring Guide, so be sure to address each point. Read the performance-level descriptions for each criterion to see how your work will be assessed.Design an appropriate intervention study to address an identified public health issue in a community of interest.Identify potential ethical issues in a proposed research project.Evaluate effectiveness of strategies used in previous intervention studies in addressing a public health issue.Integrate interdisciplinary collaboration in the design of the proposed intervention study.Write clearly and concisely in a logically coherent and appropriate form and style
