In this Discussion, you will share your proposed Final Project by creating a video. The video is an informal way for you to share your project ideas with your colleagues so you can exchange ideas and provide feedback.

Receiving and providing constructive feedback is an important part of the learning process. Feedback provides new information that we can use to correct and/or modify our work. It also lets us know what we are doing well. Providing feedback is equally important because it is an opportunity to share our knowledge, ideas, and experiences.

Your project proposal is one of the first steps in developing your Final Project, which is due in Week 5. After you share your ideas with your colleagues through the video you post for this Discussion, take some time to consider their feedback and how you can use it to inform and improve your Final Project idea.

Note: Please note the change in due dates. Your post this week is due by Day 3, and your response is due by Day 5.
For Assignment 2 this week, you will submit your Final Project Proposal, which, if appropriate, should include the feedback you receive from your colleagues through this Discussion.

To prepare:

• Review the Final Project Instructions PDF in your Learning Resources.
• Review the Kaltura Resources provided. Review any Instructor feedback you received from the “Final Project Milestone 1: Health Issue and Population of Interest Assignment” from Week 1 and incorporate it as necessary.*
• Consider the following:
  • How significant of a problem is the health issue in the population of interest? What data can you use as evidence (e.g., incidence rates, prevalence rates, percentages, and averages)?
  • How does the health problem in the population compare to the problem at a national level?
  • What theories and models might relate to the population and health issue you have selected?

With these thoughts in mind:

By Day 3

Post a 2- to 3-minute video describing your proposed Final Project. In this video:

• Describe your chosen health issue and population.
• Explain the relationship between at least one health behavior and the health issue, and explain why this population might be prone to this behavior and health issue.
• Select one of the theories or models outlined in the Final Project Instructions, and explain why you chose this theory or model to help you develop your strategies to address the selected behavior.
• Based on the theory or model you chose (or its specific constructs), describe your initial ideas for at least two strategies to change the behavior.

Review a selection of your colleagues’ postings.

By Day 5

 

Post a 2- to 3-minute video describing your proposed Final Project. In this video:

• Describe smoking your chosen health issue and population.
• Explain the relationship between at least one health behavior and the health issue, and explain why this population might be prone to this behavior and health issue.
• Select one of the theories or models outlined in the Final Project Instructions, and explain why you chose this theory or model to help you develop your strategies to address the selected behavior.
• Based on the theory or model you chose (or its specific constructs), describe your initial ideas for at least two strategies to change the behavior.
