What are the challenges and facilitators for program/intervention implementation with this priority population?
Pick a health promotion-related organization of interest to you with an extensive website that includes the description of a health promotion program or intervention. Review the website and information about the intervention. Respond to the questions related to the intervention and planning process below that are posed for the assignment. Note: If you cannot locate information on one of the items below, it is fine. However, you have to state in the paper that you could not locate that specific information via their website. If this is the case for more than two items,choose another organization for this assignment.
Include the following in your paper (Again,write the paper in paragraph form and don’t use bullet points or numbering):
1. Name of organization
2. Mission and goals of the organization
3. Priority population for their services/programs
4. Name, title and duties of the person interviewed for paper (if you chose Option A)
5. Short explanation of why you chose this organization for this assignment
6. Explanation of how or if the organization determines the needs of their priority population
7. Description of what they’ve found through their needs assessment processes (i.e. what are the problems/issues they’ve identified; what are the assets of their priority population)
8. Detailed description of the process they go through to plan their programs/interventions:
Who are their stakeholders, and do they involve them in the planning process?
Do they have goals and objectives for their program/intervention? If so, what are they?
Do they utilize theory in the planning process? If so, how?
Do they create logic models as part of the planning process?
Regarding budgeting,do not expect the organization to tell you how much funding they have for the program.
Consequently,if you are interviewing them,just ask them their thoughts on the funding climate for these types of programs/interventions (i.e. are they finding funders who are wanting to fund this type of work?),as well as how funding impacts their planning process. If you are only reviewing their website (Option B), please share any budget-related information you can find.
What are the challenges and facilitators for program/intervention implementation with this priority population? (If you are not interviewing someone, what do you believe would be the implementation challenges this organization encounters when implementing their health promotion programs?)
How do they market their program/intervention?
How sustainable is their program/intervention? Are there any challenges to program/intervention sustainability?
Do they evaluate their program/interventions? If so, what type of evaluation do they typically conduct?
9. Provide your reflections and analysis of how and if this organization is implementing the basic elements of the generalized model of program planning. (use course literature to support your response to this question. Incorporate at least one citation for this response.)
10. State and explain three things you learned about program/intervention planning from this assignment. (use course literature to support your response to this question. Incorporate at least one citation for this response.)
