Discussion Post
PHNs plan and implement interventions at all three levels of care (individual/family, community and systems). The most effective plans include interventions at all three levels of care.
After reading the New York Times article, please respond to the following discussion questions:
• What are the social and environmental variables that might contribute to the health status of residents of the Low Opportunity Neighborhoods described in the New York Times article?
• What should be the focus of additional research in these Low Opportunity Neighborhoods?
• Review the intervention wheel and identify community or system level interventions that could be taken by a public health nurse or public health agency in these areas to improve the health status of the residents. Feel free to assume you have access to some of the federal funds referenced in the article.
The response must include a reference list. Using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, double-space, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
