IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING WORD LIMIT REQUIREMENTS:

Program planning models organize the steps and actions needed to reach the intended program goals and objectives. Public health behavioral theories are used to explain health, and established theories provide evidence-based support for your proposed intervention.

For this assignment, select a program planning model and public health theory to create a framework for your program intervention. Write a 750-1,000 word paper detailing the model and theory used to implement your program. Include the following:

• Describe your chosen model. Why is this model relevant to public health? Explain why this model is best for the implementation of your project.
• Apply this model to your proposed program. Include a description of each step or phase. Project how the chosen model will support your proposed goal and objectives for your proposed intervention.
• Describe your chosen health behavioral theory. Explain why this theory is best for the implementation of your project. Project how the chosen theory will support your proposed goals and objectives for your proposed intervention.

It is important that you cover all the topics identified in the assignment. Covering the topic does not mean mentioning the topic BUT presenting an explanation from the context of ethics and the readings for this class

I am a stickler for good organization in everything. I do not want to have to dig for your answers. For instance, if an assignment asks you to provide three examples of something, I suggest that you number them 1-3 so I can find them easily. I also expect that when you submit something as a narrative, you pay attention to how you organize your thoughts: use paragraphs with a topic sentence and supporting sentences; and change paragraphs whenever you introduce a new idea. Also, if there are multiple parts to an assignment, use sub-heads within the paper to organize them.

To get maximum points you need to follow the requirements listed for this assignments 1) look at the word/page limits 2) review and follow APA rules 3) create subheadings to identify the key sections you are presenting and 4) Free from typographical and sentence construction errors.

REMEMBER IN APA FORMAT JOURNAL TITLES AND VOLUME NUMBERS ARE ITALICIZED.
