In 11-13 pages, you will identify a major public health problem afflicting your region/country and propose an innovative solution (a health education intervention or health administration change). The final paper should include following
Abstract
Briefly describe major components of the research paper. The abstract should include high-level information from the following parts of your completed paper: introduction, literature review, proven program, proposed program, recommendations, and conclusion. You must include at least three key words are required.
Abstract should immediately follow the title page, but written after completion of paper and submitted with paper.
A. Introduction
I. Opening Statement: The opening sentence should include the significance of the issue explored in the paper. Describe the impact of the issue on the health of the population.
II. Transition Sentences: Explore the impact of social, behavior and environmental factors on the health of the population. Describe prevalence and incidence rates of the health problem in the community.
III. Purpose Statement: The purpose statement should explore the significance of resolving the issue. Describe measures that can reduce the impact of this issue on the residents. Briefly describe a program that successfully mitigated the problem in your community.
The introduction should be brief, interesting and motivate audiences to read the paper further. You must use citations throughout, as needed. Use sources from government or intitutional websites to support the introductory paragraph. Some examples are listed below:
B. Literature Review
The literature review provides a framework for establishing the significance of your research topic (Creswell, 2014). For this research paper, you will select 5 studies from peer-reviewed journals. The literature review should include the following components:
I. Introduction: The opening sentence should isolate the research problem. Then, explain why it is necessary to solve the problem. Include names of databases used to conduct the research. List search terms used to find the research articles.
II. Review of the literature: All study components should be described in detail - study purpose, methods-characterstics of the participants (gender and ethnicity), number of participants, participant recruitment, data collection methods, study design, key findings/results and recommendations.
III. Analysis of the literature: Analyze what you have learned about the research problem through the research summarized in the Review of the Literature. Present similarities and differences in methodologies, findings and recommendations.
C. Proven Program from the Literature
Describe a program that was implemented successfully in your region/country. Explain how the program was successful in addressing the selected global health problem. Program components should be described in detail.
Sample program: The WASH program - UN is an example of a successful global public health program aimed at providing access to clean water, sanitation, and handwashing facilties focused on promoting health among underpriviliged residents living in impoverished communities.
D. Proposed Program
Create an innovative program aimed at successfully alleviating the selected health problem. Use componets of your proven program and literature to solve the problem.
Your proposed program should include 1 goal and at least 3 SMART objectives. A SMART objective is one that is Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-Bound.
Use the SMART guide to create objectives for your program.
Sample SMART Objective:
By the year two of the project, the Division of Cancer will have trained 75% of elementary schools in district 1, 3, and 6 on the selected scientifically based sun safety health education curriculum.
E. Recommendation
This is your opportunity to propose innovative solutions aimed at mitigating the health problem. The recommendations should be evidence-based and practical. The solutions should be derived from literature and proven policies/program.
F. Conclusion.
