Discussion
The Discussion this week focuses on the use of the Population-Based Intervention Model outlined in the course text Health Care Delivery in the United States, as well as how this model can be applied to strengthen advocacy programs
To prepare:
Select one of the behavioral risk factors from the Healthy Population 2010 Objectives (listed in Table 7.1 on p. 122 of the course text) that is of interest to you. (USE BOOK: HEALTH CARE DELIVERY IN THE UNITED STATE-)
Using the Walden Library and other credible websites, research how this risk factor is affecting your community or state.
With your selected risk factor in mind, review the information on the Population-Based Intervention Model on pp. 132-137 in the course text, Health Care Delivery in the United States.
In particular, focus on the concept of downstream, midstream, and upstream interventions.
Consider at least one intervention that could be put into place at each stage.
