The Course Capstone Project involves planning and implementing a public health initiative to address a public health problem in your community. The project is sustained throughout the course. You are expected to complete work on your Course Capstone Project each week.
Your tasks this week are to:
- Conduct research to identify a minimum of 5 articles that contain information relevant to the public health issue and target population you identified in Week 1.
- Conduct additional research (via the internet, site visits, etc.) to gather information about local health initiatives or programs, if there are any, whose missions are to address the identified health issue in your community.
- Read and take notes on the articles and research findings you discover.
- Write a summary of your findings in 1,050 words, or literature review. Address the following in your literature review:
- Compare the approaches or solutions to the problem in each article. Are the findings and program plan implementations offered by each article similar or dissimilar? If dissimilar, do the findings and program plan implementations contradict one another?
- Critique the articles. Which program plan implementations seem most effective? Why? How were the programs evaluated for sustainability?
- Describe existing community programs that address health issues. How successful are they in treating the health problem? Does the community embrace their missions? Do the target populations see them as relevant or helpful?
- If no local programs exist, determine the reasons. For example, are there socioeconomic, physical, political, or environmental reasons no local programs have been established? If so, can you provide any recommendations that might mitigate those factors?
Please be mindful your paper is formatted using APA guidelines, and includes a title page, and reference page.
