 hi dear,

I just need to 3 responses to the Discussions, and about 100 words for each responses.

1.  I was involved in a motor vehicle accident and I was the pedestrian.  This happened when I was attending high school and I was walking to school and suddenly I was crossing the road and I was struck by a sedan.It happened so fast and I did not realize that I sustained an injury and attempted to get up. The security guards from the school had to hold me down because the did not want me further injure myself. The paramedics arrived and determined that i dislocated my  right shoulder and right knee.  The street that I crossed now has a streetlight that should have been there to begin with. 

2.  After reviewing the statistics of injuries some of the things I learned is that there is a lot of injuries that occur when it comes to poisoning, vehicle, and firearm injuries. I assumed that injuries usually happen at home or at work. After reading the page, there is a high number of physician visits for injury related conditions. I never knew that poisoning would be considered an injury because I assumed that injuries include broken legs, bruising, and other factors that don’t deal with poisoning. The importance of the data that was provided allows people to have a better understanding of the prevalence of injuries. The data shows that injuries can be a common reason as to why people go to see their physicians. It showed me that not all physician visits are sick visits but injury related as well. Overall, the page provided importance in understanding the statistics of injuries and how common it is. 

3.  The blog I had chosen is the Suicide Among Former NFL Players and what I have gathered from reading the page is that there is a small correlation between playing football and suicide. One of the things I would comment is that I strongly believe there can be an association between playing football and suicide because playing football has it’s own risk of getting seriously hurt. Playing football is known for getting concussions and other serious related injuries. Although there are no scientific evidence to prove the theory but there is still a possibility that playing football correlates to suicide. Not only does playing football play a factor but there are many other factors that can result in suicide and these are environmental factors and the surroundings of the former NFL players. After playing football, some get into serious trouble with the law because they are not able to live a life outside of football and they have a lot of money to use as well. Overall, I believe that there is a slight correlation between playing football, retiring and suicide. 

Thanks,

Assignment 1: Initial Analysis for Program Planning

Needs Assessment

“As a concept, need is not only difficult to define but, once defined, difficult to measure” (Kettner, Moroney, & Martin, 2017, p. 63). Likewise, it can be challenging to define and measure assets—yet it is equally important to do so during this phase of program planning. This week’s Learning Resources provide foundational information and guidance for conducting needs assessments, which entails discerning needs that must be addressed in light of the assets that are present.

As you return to Assignment 1, the attention turns to conducting a needs assessment for the problem you have identified. What data collection strategies could be most useful? What issues would likely be encountered? How would you address them?

To prepare for this week’s section of Assignment 1:

• Continue      (from the Discussion) to:
  • Identify       a viable approach for conducting a needs assessment for your problem.
  • Identify       method(s) of data collection.
  • Assess       potential challenges and propose alternatives/solutions.

The full Assignment 1 is due by day 4 (Thursday 12/20/18) of this week. Instructions have been provided in previous weeks to help you prepare.

By Day 4

To complete:

Write a 3- to 5-page paper, in APA format with at least 7 scholarly references in which you address the following level 1 and 2 header:

Also include an introduction and a conclusion as per APA guidelines.

1) Identification of a Problem and a Population

• Identify      a problem and a target population.
       (Note: Your problem      should be clearly developed and related to a health-promotion and      disease-prevention issue of national significance. You should select a      target population so that your program can be designed to create maximum      yet realistic impact at the aggregate level.)

2) Using a Theory or Model

• Analyze      a theory or model that is relevant to your selected problem. Explain why      this is the most appropriate model for you to use with this problem.

3) Literature Review (provide at least 4 scholarly articles less than 5 years old) )

• Assess      the literature as it relates to your problem. Use evidence from the      literature to support your response to the following question: Why is it important to assist this      population to resolve the selected problem?

4) Needs Assessment

• Describe      an appropriate approach to conducting a needs assessment for your problem.
• Identify      method(s) of data collection.
• Assess      potential challenges and propose alternatives/solutions.

Required Readings

Hodges, B. C., & Videto, D. M. (2011). Assessment and planning in health programs (2nd ed.). Sudbury, MA: Jones & Bartlett Learning.

Chapter 1, “Assessment for Developing Programs and Interventions: The Big Picture”

Chapter 1 notes the importance of looking not just at needs but also the assets associated with the target population and environment; that is, assessing what needs to be addressed given the assets that are present.

This report offers a guide for the use of the logic model in program planning and outcome-oriented evaluation for nonprofit projects.

Chapter 3, “Data Collection Strategies for Needs Assessments and Evaluations”

In Chapter 3, the authors examine data collection, a key element of needs assessments. They also indicate that it is wise to plan ahead and consider data collection strategies for evaluation at the same time.

• Chapter 2, “Paint a Picture of Your Target Population:      Assessing Assets and Problems” 

This chapter presents valuable information for identifying your target population during program planning. Note: Some of the information in this chapter extends into needs assessment, which will be addressed in Week 4.

Chapter 6, “The Importance and Use of Theories in Health Education and Health Promotion”

The authors describe various theories, noting that theories are not universally applicable to every program.

Kettner, P. M., Moroney, R. M., & Martin, L. L. (2017). Designing and managing programs: An effectiveness-based approach (5th ed.). Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage.

• Review Chapter 1, “Contemporary Issues in Social      Services Program Planning and Administration” (See attached file).
• Review Chapter 3, “Understanding Social      Problems” (See attached file).

Review these chapters as needed to help you identify a health care-related problem for program planning and evaluation. For instance, you may find the problem analysis information on page 13 and pages 38–39 beneficial.

Chapter 2, “The Contribution of Theory to Program Planning”

This chapter examines the application of theory in program planning.

Chapter 4, “Needs Assessment: Theoretical Considerations”

Chapter 5, “Needs Assessment: Approaches to Measurement”

These two chapters provide foundational information as well as guidance for conducting a needs assessment as part of program planning.
