This is a formal paper
on the delivery of a health message. Students will take their research into the
practice problem identified in the discussion forum portion, going
deeper. Students will synthesize the information/research and
formulate strategies to deliver a scientifically sound health message.
Abstract (narrative;
overview of the paper)
Introduction & Background
Introduce your
identified population (group of focus, healthcare workers in the hospitals used for this study)
Identify a priority health condition (Contact among healthcare workers in the
hospital setting: developing the evidence
base for innovative approaches to infection
control). Include supportive science, search
the literature to understand the health problem and build this section,
use.gov, .edu, or .org websites, such as Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) in this portion.
c.
Background: discuss/note underlying factors that
contribute to the health promotion/disease prevention issue in your population
of interest (background of the issue), include supportive science,
and:

Healthcare
costs related to the
issue, cost of hospitalization, cost to the greater society, as examples.
0.
Example: According
to the National Institutes of Drug Abuse (NIDA) substance use costs the U.S.
600 billion dollars annually (n.d.).
i.
Morbidity
and mortality rates.

****Example: According to the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) the U.S. has lost nearly 841,000 lives to drug
overdose since 1999 (2020).
ii.
How
the health promotion/disease prevention issue impacts the population selected, quality of life, as example.
0.
**** Example: According to the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) adolescent opioid use increases risky
behaviors, such as not wearing a condom or having multiple sexual partners,
that may lead to sexually transmitted infections and unintended pregnancy
(n.d.).

Purpose
Statement and Research Question(s) (guiding question of your inquiry)
Literature support: Select
at least two current (published within the
last 5 years) peer-reviewed journal articles that support your
strategies for ameliorating the health promotion/disease prevention issue.
Using the journal articles selected discuss:
Discuss/summarize each article, noting
strengths of the research report/study/article such as
participation rate, sample size, and sampling method as example.
Note weaknesses,
such as lack of adequate sample, low participation rate, and sampling
method, as examples (refer to chapter 12 in Grove & Gray (2019)
research text to help in appraising research studies and Chapter 13 in
Grove & Gray (2019) for help appraising literature review, systematic
review, meta-analysis, or meta-synthesis).
Synthesize the findings, comparing and contrasting the articles to ameliorate the health
promotion/disease prevention issue and strategies to promote health.
Evidence Based Health Communication Development
Plan: Using
the selected population and the priority health issue and the findings
from the literature to develop health promotion/disease prevention
strategies. Using Level 2 Headers first section note:
Describe the health message using supportive science.
The guiding theory: Identify and describe a learning theory,
principle, or health education model with which to use to guide your
teaching project refer to Nies & McEwen (2019) chapter 8, pp.
125-132. Search the theory in the broad literature,
describe the theoretical concepts, or building blocks of the
theory, that make this theory applicable to your teaching plan, cite
two studies that have used this theory to guide their studies*** Theories
help us explain, predict, and explain a phenomenon. Be clear, note the
theory, cite the source, and describe the concepts that make up the
theory.
Next section, using a Level 2 header
for **each step of the **Framework for Developing
Health Communication found in Nies & McEwen (2019)
chapter 8, pp. 136-141.
Stage 1: Planning and Strategy Development.
Stage II: Developing and Pretesting Concepts,
Messages, and Materials.
Stage III: Implementing the Program
Stage IV: Assessing Effectiveness and Making
Refinements.
Under
each header, describe in detail the teaching plan including
scientifically supported strategies that will be used to deliver the intended
health message to improve population health, include supportive science from
the two articles, may also include data from ancillary sources, such
as the CDC or other .gov, .org, or .edu sites, do this for each step.
Technology that
may help improve the problem, such as a smart toothbrush, or wearable
balance sensor, as example.
Describe the technology in detail. Use supportive
science. Note if this technology is approved (FDA, as example), and by
whom. Describe costs and proposed benefit. May include small picture as
appendices. Include supportive science.
Describe how these technologies fit into your
teaching plan, if working on a fitness message as example, a smart watch
may help monitor exercise and biorhythms.
A Summary/Conclusion that summarizes
the major points of the paper.
Format for the Assignment
The assignment must be submitted to the D2L drop box as
a Microsoft Word document; using the .doc or .docx file
extension.
The paper must be written using APA 7th edition
format.
The body of the paper must be 7–10 double-spaced pages
in length (this does not include the title page, abstract, or
references).
Do not exceed the 10 -page limit.
***The paper must include the
following sections & headers:
Title Page
Abstract (overview of your paper)
Introduction & Background
Purpose Statement and Research Question
Literature Support (using the two articles used in the
discussion forum, in addition, students may use other sources of
scientific support to deliver your health message)
Evidence-Based Health Communication Development Plan (message,
theory, communication framework, and technology).
Use level 2 headers to identify
and describe the theory or conceptual model that will help you
better understand your population (people of focus, such as children or
older patients) of interest.
Use level 2 headers for **each step of the
communications framework, describe
in detail the teaching plan that you will develop, deliver, and
evaluate, using supportive science from your articles.
