Population health problems discussion

The purpose of this discussion is to demonstrate your understanding of interventions to address population health problems and reduce health disparities.

Instructions 2-3 pages

Using your selected population, continue your search and appraisal of evidence by analyzing one research study that offers a potential intervention to address your selected population health issue. This intervention must be at the population level. This research study must be new, one that was not used in a previous course. 

Appraise a quantitative research study that utilizes an intervention to address the selected health issue identified in Week 2 using the Johns Hopkins Research Appraisal Tool.

Analyze the evidence summary tool of the research study to address the following in the discussion:   

1.            Determine whether the intervention has the potential to impact the issue. Explain your rationale.

2.            Attach the completed Johns Hopkins Individual Evidence Summary Tool.

3.            Present the translation science model that would best aid the success of this intervention and discuss how the stakeholders are integrated into the design of the theory or model.  

4.            Identify where your selected intervention is located on the Minnesota Public Health Wheel.

Foundations for Learning

Start your learning for the week by reviewing Healthy People goals: 

Healthy People 2030 

Since 1979, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has analyzed data from past decades, integrating new knowledge, current data, trends, and research to determine the nation’s healthcare priorities for the next 10 years. Our nation’s health priorities are associated with many areas such as national health, national preparedness, and disease prevention, as well as identification of risks to health and wellness and changing public health priorities. Planning is underway for the development of Healthy People 2030. For additional information, go to the following website:
