Lecture Exercise #4

Persuasion is the act of making someone believe something. Today, your homework exercise is to write a “persuasive letter” to ask for something to change.

There are three main parts to a persuasive letter: statement of an opinion, support for the opinion, and closing.
Once you have chosen a topic, it simply needs to be written as an opinion statement. FOR EXAMPLE: Write “I think that homework should not be assigned on Reading Week” at the top of your page.
Next, come up with three good supportive reasons for your argument. Make sure your points clearly connect to your opinion statement.
You will need to write a closing by wrapping up what you have been writing about by re-stating your opinion.
Have fun and be creative!

Proposing a Qualitative Research Study

  

Assume the role of a manager in a local public  health office located in your community. Public health problems exist in  every community, and your job in this scenario is to help your staff  understand how to create a qualitative research proposal to address any  problem they might confront. You will be developing an exemplar or model proposal for your staff to use in their professional development training. Choose a new public health problem in your community, different  from the problem addressed in Unit 6 (obesity), and propose a qualitative research  method to study the problem.

  • Competency 1: Select quantitative and qualitative data collection methods appropriate for a given public health context.      
  • Apply qualitative research methods appropriate in a current public health context.
  • Identify key ethical issues applicable to a specific research method.
  • Propose a source of funding for a qualitative research project and a time frame for completing the research.
  • Competency 2: Interpret results of data analysis for public health research, policy, or practice.      
  • Assess the importance of a public health problem.
  • Competency 3: Apply key theoretical constructs to social and  behavioral sciences research and the dissemination of research findings.       
  • Apply an accepted public health theory or model to a public health problem.
  • Create a plan to communicate public health research findings.

Public Health Competencies Self-Reflection

 **Practicum at Saratoga Hospital**

First, review the six course competencies carefully. Reflect on the  past nine weeks at your practicum site, study of the activities, and  projects you have worked on during your practicum, and consider how you  have grown as a public health scholar and practitioner. 

  1. Discuss the public health needs and capacities of the population served by your practicum agency.       
    • Define public health needs and capacities.
  2. Discuss how you have applied a socioecological framework to the  development of population-based intervention strategies to improve  health and reduce inequities for the population you are serving.      
    • Define the ecological framework.
    • Describe how you would apply an ecological framework to the development and implementation of population-based interventions.
  3. Analyze the insights gained concerning gender, race, poverty,  history, migration, and culture when working toward health equity at  organizational, community, and societal levels.      
    • Discuss how these determinants undermine health and create challenges.
    • Discuss inclusive ways to achieve health equity at organizational, community, and societal levels.
  4. Differentiate among availability, acceptability, and accessibility of health care across diverse populations.      
    • Describe how the population your agency serves is accessing  health care and services, accepting the services available, and is  willing to make behavioral changes.
    • Describe potential ways to improve the current state.
  5. Compare your practicum agency to other agencies in terms of structure, systems, and public health practices.      
    • Define the agency structure, systems, and public health practices.
    • Provide examples of the agency structure, systems, and public health practices.
  6. Explain how professional ethics and practices relate to equity and accountability in diverse community settings.      
    • Discuss how your own professional ethics have helped improve health equity for the populations served at your practicum site.
    • Identify ways to improve your knowledge, ethics, and practices to better serve diverse communities and populations.
  7. Analyze the systems-thinking or building tools you have used at your practicum site.      
    • Define systems-thinking or building tools.
    • Describe how you have employed these tools to influence the  communitys health behaviors to address health disparities or public  health concerns.
    • Describe other tools you would like to use.
    • Describe how use of these tools would benefit the community.

Recycled art & writing

For the assignment we will think about the environmental issues covered in the readings and combine these to Chief Seattles quote regarding the concept that all things are connected

First, you will create a piece of art or a useful object from recycled materials. You must use more than one recycled material; use as many as possible.

Second, write 2 paragraphs of at least 5 sentences each. Paragraph one will explain the specific art or useful object and also include the recycled materials it is made from. Paragraph two will explain the connection to Chief Seattles quote ( include the quote ) and why this is important to you personally. Each paragraph should have the topic sentence as the first sentence.

Include a clear picture of the art or useful object.

The Trade-Off Analysis

In considering healthcare system trade-offs, politics plays a major role. Understanding the strengths and weaknesses of the current Medicaid system in the United States based on individual state policies is important to the political and legal platforms each state faces. As organizations seek to implement HMIS and IT program development, upgrades, and evaluations the organizations must be capable of separating the IT failures, budget overruns, and exogenous changes in enrollment that affect the healthcare system.

  • Who is responsible on the state political level to propose legislature to overcome healthcare organizations concerns (trade-off) relating to patient enrollment and budget overruns?
  • What is your states responsibility in preparation for healthcare change such as the ACA?
  • How do healthcare leaders best integrate pre-existing conditions and long-term illness?

In the River of Neil

Me drowning in the river of Neil
Mask my feelings under
Being scolded
Growing old is ok
But looking young is timely enough
Can you tell how I feel
By reading the unspoken words of a misunderstood girl
Whom seeks for something but never knows what shes seeking
Always thought if a man would accept me I would be a blessing for me but never thought that once he accepted me that he would leave me with
Finding myself always searching for acceptance
But theres this fear of uncertainty about his dependence would justify him to stay with me regardless of sex or not but he needs to just want to stay with me
