Community health issue – Health promotion strategies.

Requirement from Professor: “For example, you choose type two diabetes and you see in the research that you know…  Pacific Island, Latino and African American populations are all populations that are affected by type two diabetes. You are going to decide where should I focus… You know your kind of Community health promotion strategy because that’s the whole point of this. The whole point is that you are selecting a topic, you’re picking a population and your tailoring a Community health promotion activity for this population and health issue. For example, you are from Santa Clara County, you feel connect to Santa Clara San Jose area. And, you find out that the Latino population in East San Jose has some of the most you know the highest rates of type two diabetes… So that would be the Community population that you are choosing to work with.

You can’t choose all Asian American women in the US or the Latino population in northern California, that’s too broad. But, you can choose to look at you know maternal mortality in African American women in Alameda County. Be specific enough so that you can really kind of focus your Community health intervention to be, you know as tailored as possible to that population.”
