The overview process of designing, planning and evaluation of a new or existing public health program requires time and resources. It is recommended that programs allot 1015% of the project budget to prepare for the evaluation phase. Detailed evaluation is important to the program for the following reasons: To monitor each step of progress toward the objectives and goals To determine whether components are producing the desired progress on program outcomes To justify the need for further funding and support To find opportunities for continuous quality improvement It is very likely for the external agencies and the funding agency to be interested in all of the above reasons to ensure that effective programs are maintained, and resources are not wasted on ineffective programs. Not all programs will receive follow-on funding even if the program is successful. Because of this, planning for the internal and external evaluation is important in the early stages of the program initiation. Respond Why is evaluation important when addressing diseases that impact communities? How would you leverage best practices with stakeholders and media to determine which aspects of the evaluation would showcase the effectiveness of your program? Review the CDC survey/questionnaire below and develop/write 3 survey questions that could be used to better understand how to leverage your stakeholders on addressing a disease impacting the target community. When preparing for an evaluation, it is important to engage how your project/organization is viewed by the stakeholders target community. o Questionnaire (opens in new window) https://www.cdc.gov/healthyyouth/data/yrbs/questionnaires.htm Discuss Respond to the initial prompt with a substantive post by the first deadline.

In parallel, scientists, clinicians, and public health practitioners have focused on utilizing various theories and models in the planning and implementation of public health programs. However, as social, behavior, lifestyle, individual, and community risk factors have become more complex, so has designing evaluation criteria and selecting the most appropriate model for the interventions. The most common health behavior theories used to inform intervention designs and evaluations are Theory of Planned Behavior, the Transtheoretical Model, and the Health Belief Model (HBM). Respond Consider a disease or situation that is threatening your community such as heart disease, obesity, or HIV/AIDS and discuss how the community is at risk, the estimated number of people and any interventions of which you are aware. 1.Discuss the roles behavior, belief theories, and principles. How do they function in designing and planning an effective public health program and health policy development? 2.How do the roles of ethical and faith-based decision-making frameworks impact traditional health behavior theory?

Health Care

You are the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) at a home health organization. The average age of patients receiving home heath visits is over 65. You are preparing to meet with the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to discuss an investment of funds with a potentially high pay-off. The bank is offering a 12% interest rate compounded annually on principal investments of $1,500,000; however, after the 1st year, the rate is subject to change. The drawback is your company is struggling to turn a profit because of the recent cuts in government reimbursement for Medicare patients. Prepare a two page analysis (excluding cover page and references) describing the time value of money and the expected payment if the company does not withdraw the funds before five years. Plan your rebuttal if the CEO challenges you because the interest rate is not guaranteed after the 1st year. Refer to APA 6th edition manual for proper formatting. Use 1 margins and double spacing in your essay. Please refer to chapters I added under “additional materials”.

Determine the major issues that must be addressed in item construction.

For this task, complete the readings for this week; and then, write a paper in which you answer the following questions and complete the following assignments: Determine the major issues that must be addressed in item construction. Discuss the general types of response scales used in measuring a construct and provide brief examples for each. Indicate a more appropriate response scale that your instrument could use. Justify your use of the response scale. Construct three sample items (even without the benefit of SMEs or a focus-grouped discussion) that represent your construct of choice. Include an appropriate response scale. Use Rauthmanns proposed item format taxonomy to analyze your partially-constructed three-item scale (i.e., point of reference, general item format, construct indicator, and conditionality).
