Designing and Developing a Health Education Program
Designing a health education program involves the determination of goals and objectives, the creation of an intervention, the determination of the logistics of the intervention, the development of materials that appropriately meet the needs of the target audience, and the planning of the program evaluation. Design the framework for a health education program that meets the needs of the target population (Child Obesity) Refer to the CDCynergy's Phase 2: Analyze Problem, Phase 3:Plan Intervention-"https://www.orau.gov/cdcynergy/web/BA/Content/phase3/phase3mainframeset.htm", and Phase 4:Develop Intervention guides-"https://www.orau.gov/cdcynergy/web/BA/Content/phase4/phase4mainframeset.htm". Your assignment for this week must contain each of the following sections:
Describe the setting, the health concern, and the target audience. Use health concern and target population of Child Obesity.
Develop goals and objectives (Refer to The Cause/Effect Structuring Guide (C/ETSG)-"https://www.orau.gov/cdcynergy/web/ba/Content/activeinformation/resources/Cause-Effect_Theory_Structuring.pdf" and the Intervention theory Structuring Guide(ITSG)-"https://www.orau.gov/cdcynergy/web/ba/Content/activeinformation/resources/Intervention_Theory_Structuring_Guide.pdf" via the CDCynergy"https://www.orau.gov/cdcynergy/web/default.htm"resource.)
Determine methods to achieve these goals and objectives
Are these goals reasonable and attainable?
Select health education theories and models that will be incorporated into the design.
How would your selected theories or models address health literacy?
How would they address cultural appropriateness?
Outline the health information that will be provided to the target population.
Give specific examples of the resources that you will provide.
Include citation information for each resource.
Determine the modes of delivery of the information.
Where will the program take place? At a facility? Online? National or local?
How will the target audience obtain the information? Or how will it be provided?
Is this an acute intervention (one time education)? Or will the education take place over a longer period of time?
Anticipate barriers and problems of implementation.
What are some problems that could impede the ability of the program to meet the goals?
How might these problems be addressed?
Identify the outcomes that will be measured to evaluate the effectiveness of the program.
How will these outcomes be measured?
Are they related to the goals and objectives?
Your assignment must be a minimum of three- to- four-pages in length (excluding title and reference pages), and should include a minimum of three scholarly sources cited according to APA guidelines.
