Module Overview
This module focuses on selection of the environmental/occupational health, global health security, health education, or public health problem you intend to examine for your integrative project, as well as identification of the particular form your project will take on (possible project types/forms are presented below). Students are encouraged to choose a problem that is of either professional or personal interest or relevance.
Forms/Types of Integrative Projects
The following is a list of possible forms the integrative project could take. Keep in mind that all culminating projects, whether the type listed below or another, require instructor approval.
Literature Review
This type of integrative project would consist of analysis of an important environmental or occupational health/global health/health risk behavior-related/public health problem through review and synthesis of the peer-reviewed literature on the topic. The project would include sections that clearly describe the problem, assess the problem and its magnitude, evaluate its causes and determinants, and discuss prevention and intervention strategies. (Literature reviews were introduced in RES 500.)
Program Plan
An integrative project of this nature would entail development of a plan to implement an environmental/occupational health, global health security, health education, or public health program. It would address critical issues such as management, fiscal, ethical, and logistical issues. (Program planning was introduced in MHD 504.)
Program Evaluation
The form of integrative project would involve developing a plan for the evaluation/monitoring of an existing environmental/occupational health, global health security, health education, or public health program, including process evaluation, monitoring of outputs and outcomes, impact assessment, and/or cost analysis. (Program evaluation was introduced in MHD 504 and MIH 521.)
Policy Analysis
An integrative project of this form would involve analysis of the environmental/occupational health, global health security, health education, or public health implications of a current or proposed policy. The project could include perspectives on economics and financing, need and demand, politics/ethics/law, or quality/effectiveness. (Policy analysis was introduced in MPH 522.)
Research Proposal
An integrative project of this type would simulate a grant proposal or research plan focused on a selected environmental/occupational health, global health security, health education, or public health problem. The project would include a clear statement of the research question, the specific aims of the proposal, review of literature, study design, methods of statistical analysis, implications, and significance of the work. The research question would be applied rather than theoretical in nature. (Research proposals were introduced in RES 500; grant proposals in MHD561; and statistical analysis in MHS 506.)
Module- Outcomes: DEVELOPING YOUR PROJECT PROPOSAL
• Module
o Use the scholarly literature to identify a health problem pertinent to the student's degree concentration.
o Begin compilation of an annotated bibliography that serves as the basis for the analysis informing the student's written and oral course components.
• Case
o Use the scholarly literature to identify a health problem pertinent to the student's degree concentration.
o Develop a project timeline.
o Propose and receive approval of a project topic/form.
• SLP
o Construct an annotated bibliography in APA format.
• Discussion
o Discuss the process of creating a project timeline.
Module SLP: DEVELOPING YOUR PROJECT PROPOSAL
The Session Long Project of this course will be where you begin the process of becoming an expert on the problem you have chosen to address by assembling the scholarly materials gathered for your Case assignments into an annotated bibliography (annotated bibliographies were introduced in MHS 504). Your bibliography should conform to American Psychological Association (APA) formatting guidelines. You will accumulate sources and write annotations as you gather new scholarly materials every week and submit updated versions of your bibliography at the conclusion of each module (the final version of your annotated bibliography is due at the conclusion of Module 4). Remember, your annotations should capture sufficiently the essence of what the source document was about and any critical details you will want to be able to recall as you begin drafting your report, plan, etc.; for this reason, tremendous care should be taken in drafting your annotations.
Your Task for This Assignment
For Module 1, identify a minimum of 5-8 scholarly sources (at least 5 of which must be peer reviewed) and provide annotations for each.
Format your assignment according to the following formatting requirements:
1. The answer should be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
2. The response also includes a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student's name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
3. Also include a reference page. The Citations and references should follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.
