Health Problem Objective Identification and Background HE 210

Step 1.

In this assignment we go back to Healthy People 2030, the government initiative to “identify healthimprovement priorities. Increase public awareness and understanding of the determinants of health, disease, and disability and the opportunities for progress. Provide measurable objectives and goals that are applicable at the national, State, and local levels.”  It is public health in a nutshell!

Go to Healthy People 2030Links to an external site. and return to your area of interest you stated in Discussion 1. This is the page.

Step 2. Click on “Browse Objectives by Topic”Links to an external site. and return to your area of interest. ( I chose, Health Behaviors >Child and Adolescent Development).

 In this example my category is Health Behaviors and my subset is Child and Adolescent Development.

HINT: Your category should only say the 5 listed (Health conditions, Health Behaviors, Populations, Settings and Systems or Social Determinants)

Below each category is the subset, too many to list here! That is what you click on to get each objective, a fancy word for goal.

Step 3. Click on your area of interest (subset )to scroll down to see the Objectives (aka goals) of your area.

I chose children then scrolled to find a goal I was interested in.

Step 4. Choose an Objective aka Goal.( I chose “Increase the proportion of children whose parents read to them at least 4 days per week EMC-01). The arrow shows it.

Choose YOUR OWN objective in the area YOU mentioned in Discussion 1. You cannot choose my area.

THIS TOPIC WILL BE  MY TOPIC FOR THE ENTIRE PRESENTATION.

THE ONE YOU CHOSE WILL BE YOUR TOPIC FOR THE ENTIRE SESSION. EACH WEEK YOU WILL EXPAND THE PROJECT. 

Step 5. Click on your chosen objective/goal and see the current status.

Your objective may be ongoing or have no data. If that is the case, pick a different objective or look up some data. Here is what mine looks like. It shows the reader, recent data, targets and baselines. You need this for your slides.

Step 6. Create a slide presentation about YOUR topic that follows the template. Use my example presentation to help

.FOR THE ASSIGNMENT you need to create PowerPoint slides just like we practiced last week. Follow my template exactly. To help, I have red font. The areas that you need to fill out are the red instructions so they should be removed when yours is done. There will be four slides.

1. A title slide with your name and topic.

2. Next slide with your  CATEGORY, SUBSET AND OBJECTIVE WITH NUMBER LISTED.

3. A slide with a background of Why is this important to health? You may need to look that up!  You must have one fact why this is an important goal AND one comment on why you picked the topic. See how I show that reading is important to health in my example presentation.

For mine, I googled, “reading and health outcomes” and found resources on why learning to read in childhood helps later health.  Tell me how YOUR CHOSEN problem impacts our health and society. Do not just say “it is a serious problem”. For full credit you must have an impact fact.
