PHE 425 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
In your future work in the field of public health as public/community health specialists, you may be asked to provide background and application information in
order to plan and implement a public health program. To do this, you will need to understand both theoretical and practical concepts covered in the Certified
Health Education Specialist (CHES) examination. You must be able to explain how to acquire needs assessment data, write program goals/objectives, and apply
theory to practice. Furthermore, you must be able to use appropriate educational strategies and methods to facilitate the development of policies, procedures,
and interventions that are conducive to the health of individuals and communities.
For your final project, you will create a modified program planning presentation, including a small-scale needs assessment. You will begin by selecting an issue
from the following public health topics:
CDC: Smoking and Tobacco Use
CDC: Overweight and Obesity
CDC: Skin Cancer
Next, you will select a target population that exhibits a public health need related to your chosen topic. You will conduct a needs assessment using the PRECEDEPROCEED model to acquire a greater understanding of the population’s needs in the context of this topic. You will then use that information to develop a
program plan for supporting and promoting the improvement of health for the community. This modified program plan will be submitted as a presentation in
which you will elicit buy-in for your public health program plan. For example, you may need to elicit buy-in from community participants or the stakeholders that
will approve and/or fund the public health program, depending on the audience for your presentation.
The project is divided into three milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final
submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules One, Three, and Five. The final submission is due in Module Seven.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:
Choose appropriate theoretical frameworks and models in planning approaches to implementing public health programs
Develop goals for public health programs that are logically derived from needs assessment data
Devise effective and culturally responsive communication strategies that incorporate community participation in the promotion of public health
programs
Plan programs that address education for public health issues using relevant public health methods and strategies
Prompt
Select a public health issue from the list provided and develop a modified program plan in the form of a presentation. Everything in your presentation should be
geared toward promoting the need to address the identified problem for the target population, as well as your program plan for doing so. Therefore, it is crucial
that you include all the critical elements listed below and do so using appropriate terminology and formatting to meet the needs of a public health audience.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
I.
Introduction: In this section, you will introduce the public health need and the population your program will address.
A. Identify your selected healthcare issue and justify why implementing a program is necessary to address this problem.
B. Describe a target population (e.g., age, sex, gender) that would be affected by your chosen healthcare issue.
II. Needs Assessment: In this section, you will apply a public health model (PRECEDE-PROCEED) to your target population based on the public health issue
you selected.
A. Explain the desired result of the program for the selected target population.
B. Prioritize among the population issues and behavioral and environmental determinants that are barriers to achieving the desired results.
C. Explain the predisposing, enabling, and reinforcing factors that can affect the behaviors and environmental factors that you identified.
D. Explain the administrative and policy factors that influence what can be implemented in a public health program related to this issue.
III. Program Planning: In this section, you will illustrate how your program plan would be implemented to address the public health topic for your selected
population.
A. Describe the theoretical framework you have chosen for implementing your public health program.
B. Explain how the theoretical framework would be used to implement your public health program.
C. Justify why this theoretical framework is appropriate for your public health program, using specific examples.
D. Construct goals and objectives for a simulated program plan targeting the selected population. Justify your goals with specific data from the
needs assessment.
E. Describe strategies for how the target population will be engaged in the planning process, including the key parts of your communication
strategy.
F. Discuss the intervention activity that will be included within your public health program.
G. Incorporate evidence that supports your intervention and engagement strategies as culturally appropriate for the selected population.
IV. Presentation: Ensure that your program plan presents relevant information in an appropriate format for the intended public health audience. For
instance, the content should be effectively balanced between what is shown on the presentation slides and what is found in the presenter notes.
Milestones
Milestone One: Identify Health Issue and Target Population
In Module One, you will create a draft of the introduction portion of the final project. This milestone is graded with the Milestone One Rubric.
Milestone Two: Needs Assessment Draft
In Module Three, you will submit a draft of the needs assessment portion of the final project. This milestone is graded with the Milestone Two Rubric.
Milestone Three: Program Plan Draft
In Module Five, you will submit a draft of the program plan portion of the final project. This milestone is graded with the Milestone Three Rubric.
Final Submission: Program Planning Presentation
In Module Seven, you will submit your final project. It should be a complete, polished artifact containing all of the critical elements of the final product. It should
reflect the incorporation of feedback gained throughout the course. This milestone will be graded using the Final Project Rubric.
