NR518 Module 5: Critique of Population Health Intervention (graded)

Assignment Overview

Consider the population-focused interventions that are present within a selected community. Identify one specific population health intervention and investigate that intervention to determine accessibility, levels of prevention, and social determinants of health that are addressed. Identify one gap that is present and propose one recommendation to enhance population health outcomes. In a 2-4 page paper, address the elements listed below. Include a minimum of 3scholarly sources, current within 5 years, to support your work. See the rubric for specific, required content criteria within each section of the paper.

Provide an introduction to the paper.
Present a succinct synopsis of the population health intervention that was selected, and the specific population health risks and disparities that are addressed through that intervention.
Describe the accessibility, levels of prevention, and social determinants of health that are addressed through the identified strategy.
Consider one gap that is present and include one recommendation for change to enhance health outcomes.
Provide a conclusion to the paper.

Introduction

Addressing health disparities and enhancing community outcomes, especially for vulnerable groups like American Latinos, require population-focused interventions.
