Community Needs and Health Screening Initiative

Community Needs and Health Screening Initiative

Directions
For this assignment, you will pick one recommended screening from the United States Preventive Task Force A and B Recommendations.
An initiative is a project or event, so something in the community is ideal; workplace location for employees is also fine. Please include the following suggested level one headings, so content is clear and easily identified.
Theory or Conceptual Model
• Identify and describe a health promotion program theory or conceptual model.
• Explain how the model or theory is applicable to the initiative.
Population Screening Purpose
• Identify the screening topic as an A or B preventive screening from the USPSTF.
• Include two components of topic-related community statistics numerically (e.g., mortality, prevalence).
• Describe target population characteristics, including age and sex or risk factor, and match the guidelines.
• Clarify the county and or neighborhood of the population.
• Provide descriptions on the local population to be screened, including three components: number of persons in the county possibly affected based on sex, age, and racial diversity of the county or state.
• Include current rates of screening or factors that would impact the need for screening.
Location/Setting
• Provide details of the community or workplace event, including three components: type of area or building, time, and day (e.g., Monroe County Senior Center at 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. 4/20/21).
• Include reasoning and explanation of appropriateness.
