  • Global Disease Burden of Dengue Virus Slide 1: Introduction – Title: Global Disease Burden of Dengue Virus – Brief overview of dengue virus and its impact on global health Slide 2: Countries Affected

    Power point slides that cover these two things. 1. Global Disease Burden of dengue virus include the countries affected, and add in a map of the countries affected, add in the number of people affected and the cost that dengue virus costs countries who are affected with the virus as well as treatment and vaccine costs if any. 2. A focused slide on the prevalence within ONE of the most affected countries. Please cover all these topics in the slides. Thank you.

  • Intervention Description and Logic Model for Improving Health Outcomes in Community X “LGBTQ Substance Abuse: A Logic Model Approach to Understanding and Addressing the Issue”

    ASSIGNMENT LEARNING GOALS: This group assignment will have you think through your final intervention description and articulate the rationale in how your intervention will achieve the intended health outcomes. Presenting a clear and concise description of your intervention that includes a strong rationale of the mechanism through which your proposed intervention will affect positive change is a central aspect of a successful proposal for funding. The part 4 of the Case Study assignment is divided into two parts: Part 4a – Detail the problem statement, intervention description, and logic model (due this week); and Part 4b (next week’s assignment): Describe the workplan, timeline, human resources, and budget for your intervention (due next week). 1) Problem Statement and Intervention description: Your description should identify the level(s) at which you are intervening within your target community (e.g. intrapersonal, interpersonal, organizational, community, policy, structural).
    A) Provide a concise problem statement (2-4 sentences). Please keep in mind that in real world situations, a problem statement would be clarified with stakeholders using existing research evidence. for a template to help guide development of your problem statement.B) Provide a summary of your proposed intervention in 1-2 sentences to make it clear what your intervention plans to do.
    C) Explain the details of your intervention strategy including the evidence base for your intervention. Include a narrative description of your logic model. This should include an explanation of the inputs to the intervention and the connection between inputs, activities and outputs and outcomes. The intervention description should also include an explanation of why and how the intervention addresses the identified needs and builds upon existing assets and capacities (from Group Assignment #1). It should demonstrate how theor(ies) of health behavior change, existing evidence, and community engagement inform your proposed intervention.
    This section should be less than 600 words.
    2) Logic model: Include a figure/diagram depicting your intervention logic model with the inputs, activities, outputs, outcomes, and impact clearly labeled.
    Note: The intervention description, the implementation plan, the timeline, budget and management plan, should be consistent with your logic model. Make sure that the components represented in your logic model are included in your intervention description.
    Your logic model should fit on 1 page. You may submit as separate document or integrate into your document (tip: use ‘section breaks’ in Microsoft word documents if you need to include a landscape-orientation figure)
    To help you with this assignment here is an example of an assignment submission => SAMPLE: Vaping
    This is meant to provide you with one idea of how you might outline describe your intervention – please use your own wording. Please try your best to be concise in your descriptions.Rubric
