Scenario
You work for your county’s public health department. Based on recent events, as well as local environmental and socioeconomic conditions, the county has noted sharp rises in specific health conditions (particularly in the county’s vulnerable populations). Your job is to create an evidence-based, consumer-facing infographic to help a specific vulnerable population change their actions to prevent further escalation of the health condition concern.
Instructions
For this assignment, you will complete two parts and submit two files:
Part 1: Step-by-Step Approach Outline
Create an outline documenting your step-by-step approach in creating your evidence-based consumer-facing infographic. Complete and submit.
HSC3371-Deliverable-1-Worksheet.docx
Your submission should be 1-3 pages in length.
Here is the step-by-step approach you should follow:
Identify the health condition that has elevated concern in your local area. The concern could be long-term (e.g., obesity, smoking, smog, hypertension) or acute (e.g., influenza, repetitive stress injuries at a local production plant). Suggestion: Begin with the CDC’s Data Explorer Tool listed below in the resources for this deliverable. Alternatively, you may use any credible database or research article as your starting point.
Identify which specific populations within your region are most vulnerable.
Write a PICO question to discover which socioeconomic, environmental, or other risk factors make this population vulnerable to this specific health condition’s elevation.
Write a SCRAAP analysis of one credible resource you select to describe the specific population’s vulnerabilities.
Identify 1-2 behavior changes within your audience’s locus of control that could help curb the rise of this health issue.
Cite your resources on an APA-formatted reference page. You need at least three credible resources to help support your position.
Follow standard mechanics for spelling, grammar, punctuation, and writing style.
Part 2: Evidence-based Consumer-facing Infographic
Use your research from Part 1 to create a single-page consumer-facing infographic. Be sure to include the following criteria:
Appropriate tone
Professional language
Identified audience
Royalty-free graphics
Identified call to action
Credible resource
If using images that do not belong to you, please cite your image sources and/or use royalty free images, such as those found on Pixabay, Unsplash, or royalty-free creative commons image-sharing sites. You may use screenshots created by the CDC’s Data Explorer Tool, or other credible data base that you used to conduct your research.
Suggested technology to create an infographic include: Microsoft Word or PowerPoint, Google Slides, Canva, Keynote, or Pages. Please save and submit your Infographic in one of the following formats: PDF, JPG, PNG, PPTX, or DOCX.
