Vulnerable populations
DESCRIPTION
Health Promotion and Disease Prevention activities are important throughout each stage of the life cycle and essential to the work of a community or public health nutritionist. Students will choose a vulnerable population and explore the health and nutrition related-issues, risk factors, and appropriate and culturally-relevant nutrition education topics (or interventions) aimed at improving health outcomes and reducing health disparities.
Instructions
- Identify a vulnerable population to study (see table below).
- Write a paper about the identified vulnerable population that addresses the following:
o Why is this a population vulnerable?
o What are the health disparities present in this vulnerable population?
- What are the health and nutrition concerns for this population?
- Include specific nutrients of concern and explain.
- Include data from https://www.healthypeople.gov/2020/How-to-Use-DATA2020 and other credible sources and scholarly articles.
o What are some possible disordered eating patterns for this population?
- Discuss the accompanying determinants.
- Write a clear and concise Problem, Etiology, Signs/Symptoms (PES) statement
o Identify 3 to 5 nutrition education topics that could be used in the design of a nutrition intervention for this population that addresses the PES statement.
- Describe and give examples (grounded in scholarly articles) of the cultural knowledge you would incorporate into your nutrition education intervention.
o Considering the Food and Nutrition Programs available in the U.S., discuss at least two programs that may benefit this population.
- For each program, explain the benefits offered and eligibility criteria.
