Evidence-Based Practices: Summary and Implications Topic- child hood obesity in maryland USA

Overview

In this assignment, you will take on the role of a local public health outreach worker who has been assigned by the superior to prepare a 4–6-page analysis of at least three interventions that might work in your community.

Preparation

You have already chosen a local public health issue from your own community for your Unit 3 assignment. Now you will begin the search for an intervention that will help you address the issue you chose. Start by summarizing your problem statement.

Refer to your Unit 3 assignment, and complete the following:

· Create a one-paragraph summary of your community public health problem statement.

· Include the justification of why it is an issue that must be addressed.

Library and Internet Research

Search websites provided for you in this course and the Capella library using key words from your community problem to find multiple examples of evidence-based interventions that seem appropriate for addressing your community issue.

Use the following strategies to conduct your search:

· Step 1 – Summarize problem statement: In a paragraph, summarize your community public health problem statement and justification from the Unit 3 assignment.

· Step 2 – Use key words for search: Identify the key words from the problem you have identified. For example, if your problem was obesity in elementary school children in your community, the key words could be "obesity" and "elementary school" and "children." (When conducting searches for this course, include the words such as "EBP" or "evidence" along with your other terms to ensure you are finding appropriate data.)

· Use your key words to find four (or more) EBP interventions in articles or white papers that have been successful in combating obesity in elementary school children. Make sure one article or white paper refers to public investment and EBP. Note: You will be narrowing down your selection to a total of three articles to analyze.

Instructions

Complete the following:

· Analyze the articles you have selected. Eliminate one and narrow down your analysis to only three articles to be discussed in this assignment.

· Compare and contrast the interventions in the selected articles and present your findings. (Provide a complete APA citation for your articles). In your analysis:

· Provide a quick summary of each article, including how the authors evaluated the intervention.

· Describe the different types of results you found when using key terms to locate interventions. Note: Include how you modified your search terms (if necessary) to help improve your search.

· Discuss your thoughts on why each of the three interventions you finally selected might be helpful in solving your community problem.

· You must provide a rationale explaining the reason why you think each intervention might or might not be useful in your local community.

· Pick the intervention you will recommend as the best EBP, based on your analysis. Support your recommendation with relevant sources, cited in APA style.

· Describe how collaboration between a public health agency and a community-based organization is a good public investment.
