Imagine you are a policymaker or city council member and are actively involved in improving the lives of the vulnerable. Via the first two written assignments, you have already selected one vulnerable population, which is in need of a new program or service within your community. You will research and design a presentation, which you will present at the next city meeting to advocate for your special population group.
The Final Project should demonstrate an understanding of the reading assignments, class discussions, as well as your own research and application of new knowledge. It must contain the following elements below and be re-written in your own words (you are welcome to refer to your previous assignments for guidance, but do not copy and paste from them):
- A description of why this population group is vulnerable and in desperate need for help within your community.
- Identification of the health service needs of this special population.
- In order to support your claims and opinions, cite statistical data obtained from the county health department, state health department, and/or other organizations and agencies.
