Assignment task:
An Ethical Pause
As the director of the local public health department, you are creating a logic model for this week's assignment to document the rationale for the strategic planning process. This document will be widely reviewed and distributed to your staff and senior advisors, facilitating the planning and implementation of all intended approaches.
While very few persons have viewed the Riverbend City community health needs assessment results, the data and final reports will soon be made public. As you create the logic model, consider the potential for misusing the community health needs assessment data. You care about the Riverbend City community where you serve. Remember, "Evaluators, program managers, program staff members, stakeholders, and program participants involved in an evaluation can all be susceptible to a variety of pressures that may result in a less than unbiased evaluation" (Issel & Wells, 2018, p. 397).
As the director of the local public health department, use what you learned in this week's readings to identify two strategies to prevent the misuse of the community health needs assessment data that will be reported. Be sure to identify both the threat/potential for misuse and the prevention strategy.
Remember to cite any sources and refer to the FEM guidelines as you prepare the post.
