Program Planning Principles

Planning an effective program takes time. While planning, implementing, and evaluating programs are all interrelated, good planning skills are a prerequisite to programs worthy of evaluation.

Discuss the significance of applying program planning principles in the program planning process as well as evaluation.

first assignment

Planning Models

TO: Agency Health Education and Health Promotion Personnel

FROM: The Director

RE: Planning Models

I am concerned that we always seem to be a day late and a dollar short in implementing our health promotion programs.

I’d like for you to develop a PERT chart for a community based smoking cessation program.

I also am not sure that the diagnosis stage of our planning is adequate. Use the PRECEED model to prepare an educational diagnosis of lung cancer.

Thank you.

2nd assignment

Your Marketing Plan & Budget

For your public health program, develop a marketing strategy that would best fit your target audience. What would you do specifically? Describe your marketing plan using the plan described in your Unit 4 reading. Who would you need to involve in your marketing strategy? Any approval needed? (Put ‘cost’ in your budget below).

In addition, create a mock budget for your program. What resources will you need? Staff, supplies, space, marketing, incentives, etc? Please use the sample budget template in ‘Doc Sharing”’ to create your proposed budget.

Present your assignment as a 2-3 page Microsoft Word document. Please include APA-style formatted references in the body of the paper and as a reference list. Upload the document to appropriate Unit dropbox by the due date.

do it on a separate page.

20 Grammatics (spelling, grammar, typos) *Peer reviewed sources are written by experts and are reviewed by several other experts in the field before the article is published in a journal in order to insure the article’s quality. Books are considered acceptable. Websites are not. You may use websites but these are in addition to your five sources. If all your sources are websites you will not receive the 10 points (equal to one letter grade).

TOPICS Please read the instructions carefully. Each topic requires you discuss four (4) examples- this does not mean four sources. It means four specific examples. In sum, you must have five references and four specific examples.

Topic #1: Forensic/Bioarchaeology Anthropology Choose one of the following fields of interest in forensic anthropology or bioarchaeology: blunt force trauma; genetics; warfare in archaeological populations; evidence of disease on human skeletal remains (eg syphilis); evidence of diet on human skeletal remains (eg dental caries); isotopic studies. The paper should provide a general overview of the field of interest, a brief background of the area the studies occur, and at least 4 different studies (these can be your 4 of your 5 sources) about the topic. You can look at the technology used, the samples used, problems that occurred during the studies, or the conclusions each came to.

 Four studies may include, but not limited to, looking at four different archaeological sites; four studies on blunt force trauma on skeletons; four studies that look at evidence of disease on skeletal remains on four different individuals or four different populations.

Final Paper (100 pts.) Topic #2: Primatology Choose one monkey or ape and focus on a particular social behavior or topic OR choose one topic in primatology and use examples from different primates. The paper should include a basic description of the monkey(s)/ape(s) and their environment. Behaviors or topics could include (but not limited to): territorial behavior; differences in gender roles; language/communication; any studies of “culture” among the specific species; diversity of a single species (eg lemurs on Madagascar); tool making/use; child rearing; social organization; effects of tourism/logging/urban sprawl etc.. You may also discuss any other topic you find. The paper must discuss at least 4 specific studies on the topic you choose (these will be 4 of your 5 required sources).

 Four examples may include, but are not limited to, four different studies on the impacts of tourism on gorillas; four different studies on tool use among chimpanzees; looking at language use among four different primates (gorillas, chimpanzees, bonobos, and orangutan)

Topic #3: Early Hominins Choose one early hominin that was not discussed during a group presentation OR one topic in hominin evolution. If you choose this topic you CANNOT write on the hominin you were assigned for your group project. This paper should include: their place in time- both a geological age, but also where they fall in the evolution of hominins; and geographic locations where specimens have been found. You may also want to discuss social behaviors we know to be associated with the species, a basic overview of their anatomy and how it is similar or different from modern humans. After you choose your hominin you need to choose a thesis topic such as tool making, art, cannibalism, or hunting. If you choose a single topic (Choice 2) you may discuss multiple hominins in the one paper (e.g. the evolution of stone tools, or possible seafaring by early hominins). This paper must include a discussion of at least 4 different sites or specimens (these can be 4 of your 5 required sources).

 Four examples may be, but not limited to, evidence of cannibalism at four different

Neanderthal sites; four different H. erectus skeletons; four studies on four different specific aspects of H. floresiensis; four different hominin sites with evidence of early tool use.

Topic #4: Your Choice (MUST BE CLEARED WITH ME PRIOR TO THE DUE DATE) If you want to write on a topic not listed above please contact me so we can discuss the details.

Utilize Times New Roman with a 12pt Font! No exceptions!

Margins need to be 1” all around, do not alter them.

Introduction (Criteria 1 & 2):

In this section, you will describe the pathophysiology (statistics about it, background information etc). Give as much information as you can about it, but be sure it is relevant information and not just filler. This section generally should be 2-3 paragraphs in length.

This section should cover Criteria 1 & 2 from the Case Study Instructions and Rubric

Be sure that in-text citations follow APA guidelines.

Normal anatomy of the major body system effected (Criteria 3):

In this section, you will describe what is considered normal anatomy for your particular pathophysiology. For example, if you are discussing a disease related to the brain describe what is normal for the brain from an anatomy standpoint. This should take a paragraph or two to complete this section.

Normal physiology of the major body system effected (Criteria 4):

Same as the previous section but instead of explaining the anatomy you will be explaining the physiology.

Mechanism of Pathophysiology (Criteria 5):

This section is likely going to be the most in depth and longest section. This is where you will explain your particular pathophysiology from an anatomy and physiology standpoint. In the previous two sections you explained what is considered normal, in this section I want you to explain what the pathophysiology is doing that is causing these issues, how the anatomy is affected and how it has an effect on the physiology of that particular system.

Prevention (Criteria 6):

In this section, you will explain how your pathophysiology could be prevented.

Treatment (Criteria 7):

In this section, you will explain how your pathophysiology is commonly treated.

Clinical Relevance (Criteria 8):

In this section, you will cover the clinical relevance or significance.

Conclusion:

Wrap everything up. A good academic research paper should bring everything full circle with a solid conclusion.

References:

This final reference page needs to include any and all references you utilized to find information about your particular topic. Remember, the information needs to come from academic/scholarly resources. https://scholar.google.com/ is a great search engine to help you find academic resources. Sites such as Wikipedia are great to use as a reference/starting point to locate good articles; however, they cannot be used as a primary source of information.

***Tip: If you find information in Wikipedia, scroll down to the bottom of the page, you can usually find academic articles that authors have utilized to complete the information. Most of the time you can simply click on that article for a direct link, or simply search for the name of the article in our Library Database to find a complete text.

***Be sure that your in-text citations are accurate and follow APA formatting, again utilize the Purdue Owl website to help with that.
