Hello,
I am totally confused, as I have read so much. I cannot figure out what precisely to put in the following:
1) Itemized Description of proposed my program.
2) Itemized Description of proposed pilot study (what is this?)
3) Itemized Description of proposed evaluation of the pilot study including a tool (Six Sigma, TQM) to improve the proposed piloted process
4) Itemized Description of what other health care organizations and/or NGOs have done to address my initiative.
I am following the Promoting Healthy Living and Preventing Chronic Disease An Action Planning Guide for Communities
A publication of the KU Work Group for Community Health and Development The University of Kansas
http://communityhealth.ku.edu/
Can you please provide examples where I can see precisely what to put in these documents. I have gathered all the data there is. I have my goal, vision, mission statement, strategies, and action plans, which are all evidence-based, that concern:
1. physical activity,
2. healthy eating,
3. tobacco use, and
4. access to care and preventive services.
I know my 5 strategies are:
1. providing information and enhancing skills
2. modifying access, barriers, and opportunities
3. enhancing services and support
4. changing the consequences (incentives)
5. modifying policies and broader conditions
My framework for Promoting Healthy Living is the IOM (2003):
1. Assessment & Collaborative Planning
2. Targeted Action & Intervention
3. Community & System Change
4. Widespread Behavior Change
5. Improvement in Population level Outcomes
I have planned for new or modified programs, policies, and practices in the strategies. I do not know what section (e.g., description of proposed program, pilot study, evaluation of pilot study) I need to put this in.
However, I have not been able to meet with anybody in town - I have only had 8 days to look this up. I do know from talking to people on the phone that my county in Arkansas has very little active coalitions due to budget cuts and losing funding.
I am not getting a grant or implementing social marketing. My teacher knows that I have not met with anyone - I cannot give details of meetings.
My initiative deals with Pope County's community sectors of the: business community, health organizations, school district, and broader community.
My teacher does not want us to give her a detailed logic model.
Plus this can only be 5-7 pages long. APA 6th edition, doubled spaced, with citations. The reference page can be page 8+. I am totally vexed.
Can you please help. I have done all the work. I cannot find examples anywhere on line except for CHNAs that have not-for-profit hospitals doing community needs assessments. Yes, I am bringing the hospital in as a potential collaborator, but I am to act as if there is no coalitions, or action taking place. Plus, no one in the community seems to want to help with the severe problem of CVD, cancer, diabetes, tobacco use, etc....I know what are my modified risks. I know what are my key drivers. I know what are my vulnerable populations.
I just do not know what to place in what sections.
Can you please help?
Thank you ,
