TITLE: Application 1: Initial Analysis for Program Planning
APA 6th Edition 5 references scholarly peer review articles
A 3 PAGE paper that addresses the following:
Identification of a Problem and a Population
• Identify a problem and a target population.
(Note: Your problem should be clearly developed and related to a health-promotion and disease-prevention issue of national significance. You should select a target population so that your program can be designed to create maximum yet realistic impact at the aggregate level.)
Using a Theory or Model
• Analyze a theory or model that is relevant to your selected problem. Explain why this is the most appropriate model for you to use with this problem.
Literature Review
• Assess the literature as it relates to your problem. Use evidence from the literature to support your response to the following question: Why is it important to assist this population to resolve the selected problem?
Needs Assessment
• Describe an appropriate approach to conducting a needs assessment for your problem.
• Identify method(s) of data collection.
• Assess potential challenges and propose alternatives/solutions.
TITLE: Application 2: Program Design Elements
APA 6th Edition 5 references scholarly peer review articles
A 3 PAGE paper, plus accompanying documents, that addresses the following:
Stakeholder Involvement in Developing Mission Statement, Goals, and Objectives
• Explain why it is important for representatives of your target population to be involved in developing the goals and objectives for the program.
• Identify which stakeholders you would involve in the planning process, and discuss two or more strategies for facilitating their involvement.
Program Design
• Create a visual representation of your program design (e.g., a table or graph) that includes the program’s mission statement, goal(s), objectives, and activities to meet the objectives.
• Develop a Gantt chart with time lines for implementing all activities that will assist in meeting each of your program objectives.
•
TITLE:Application 3: Program Budget and Financial Analysis
APA 6th Edition 5 references scholarly peer review articles
A 3 page paper that addresses the following:
Budget
• Develop a simple revenue and expense budget for 6 months from start-up and develop a break-even analysis.
• Articulate a justification for the revenue and expenses indicating where the funds are coming from to support the project and what resources the expenses are related to.
• Explain any variance from the budget that is not budget neutral.
Financial Analysis
• Articulate whether the monies put into the program will result in positive health outcomes for the population (resulting from your application of the use of cost-effectiveness, cost-utility, or cost-benefit to the program design process).
* Include tables or graphs in your paper to illustrate budget information
TITLE: Application 4: Evaluation Planning
A 3 page paper that addresses the following:
Evaluation Methods
• Identify an evaluation theory or model that is aligned to your program goal(s) and objectives.
• Exhibit a performance measurement, monitoring, and evaluation time line that:
o Demonstrates the appropriate use of performance measurement, monitoring, and summative evaluation
o Distinguishes between the long-term effects of impact evaluation versus short and intermediate health outcomes as a result of the implementation of the program
Evaluation Plan
Develop an evaluation plan that includes goals, objectives, and activities. Specify the type of data needed.
• Add your evaluation plan to the visual representation (e.g., table or graph) of your program plan design.
• Add time line information for the evaluation plan to your Gantt chart.
Note:In addition to your paper, be sure to submit the following (which may be contained in a separate document):
• An updated version of the visual representation (e.g., table or graph) of your program design that includes your evaluation plan.
• An updated version of your Gantt chart that includes your evaluation plan.
