Week 2
Healthy People 2020 Impact Paper

Purpose

The concepts of epidemiology provide the framework for the
study of infectious and chronic diseases, which provides a rich source of data
for the analysis of trends in disease and health. This assignment will offer
the opportunity to explore the health effects associated with hookahs. You will identify populations at risk, and to
design an educational intervention for your target population. In addition you will look at what outcomes
will be addressed to determine if your interventions work. You will integrate HP2020 and CDC information
into your paper.

Course Outcomes

Through this assignment, the student will demonstrate the
ability to:

CO 3: Identify
appropriate outcome measures and study designs applicable to epidemiological
subfields such as infectious disease, chronic disease, environmental exposures,
reproductive health, and genetics.

CO 6: Identify
important sources of epidemiological data.

Total Points Possible: 125 Points

Due Date: Submit your file(s) by Sunday, 11:59 p.m. MT at
the end of Week 2

Requirements

Criteria for Content

Research the health effects of hookahs and select three to
five health effects to address. Identify
your target population (for instance, age or other demographic, aggregate
population); this must be in your city or state. Design a population based
health education intervention for your target population that is aimed at
reducing morbidity and mortality for the problem. Be sure to review the
research literature and HP2020 for interventions. Decide what outcomes you will
use to determine whether your educational intervention works. In a three (3) page summary, address the
following.

Identify the problem in the introduction section.

Provide an overview of the problem in your city/state

Take some time now to mindfully reflect over the
assignments, readings, discussion board, and web site exploration activities of
the course, Population Health, Epidemiology, and Statistical. Next, take a look
at the narrative and rubric for the assignment: Reflection on Achievement. You
will be constructing a mind map, or concept map, that relates (connects) the
activities of the course to the outcome objectives provided for you on the
assignment narrative. Also, review the videos provided which also explain how
to create a mind map or concept map, the two terms are often used to mean the
same thing.

at the end of Week 7.

Requirements

1. Have you ever created a Web of Causation, for an
undergraduate community health course perhaps? Well you are now going to create
a visual model, called a Concept Map or Mind Map, which expresses a synthesis
(connection) of course learning (readings, written assignments, discussion
board, etc.) to the following:

MSN Program Outcome #2:

Create a
caring environment for achieving quality health outcomes (Care-Focused).

MSN Essential IV:

Translating and Integrating Scholarship into Practice

National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Competencies #4:
Practice Inquiry Competencies (there are 6 competencies stated by NONPF in this
particular area):

1. Provides leadership in the translation of new knowledge
into practice.

2. Generates knowledge from clinical practice to improve
practice and patient outcomes.

3. Applies clinical investigative skills to improve health
outcomes.

4. Leads practice inquiry, individually or in partnership
with others.

5. Disseminates evidence from inquiry to diverse audiences
using multiple modalities.

6. Analyzes clinical guidelines for individualized
application into practice

2. Using an online free program (see samples below),
Microsoft Word, or another method, create a Concept Map, or some call it a Mind
Map. Your Concept Map will visually depict how you see the assignments of the
course meet the outcomes above.

Please search on YouTube for videos on How to Create a
Concept Map or look for examples online.
