Building upon is designed to help you gain the skills necessary to effectively justify a particular behavioral health intervention using an appropriate intervention/program or combination of interventions/programs. This is similar to justifying your approach when writing a grant proposal. You should keep the same topic.
You will take the first steps in utilizing the scientific literature surrounding a specific behavioral health problem in a specific population to select the "best" approach or combination of approaches with which to develop an effective intervention/program.
Use any strategies that we discuss from the entire semester and from your research literature review of strategies/interventions/programs. In your paper (8 to 9 pages excluding references, double-spaced) you will use the scientific literature to concisely provide the following:
A. Identify a behavioral health problem. This section should include your target population and setting (e.g., school, community, worksite). You should also cite the most recent data available on the prevalence or incidence of the problem.
B. Why this problem is important and why it is important to intervene now?
C. What types of program/interventions have been done?
Based on a thorough review of the literature focused on interventions for this problem over the last decade, which strategies have been used and which have been shown to be effective. Create a table for this portion of the paper and include 5 headings: Authors/date, Population, Type of study design, Constructs used, Outcomes. The table is not included in the page count and should be included after your reference page as Table 1. The table should include information that is summarized in your text.
A. Based on your findings from above, discuss what strategy(ies) you propose to use as you plan your intervention. This is similar to justifying your approach when writing a grant proposal.
B. Explain your intervention strategy and justify how they are based on peer-reviewed research. That is, refer back to the research literature and cite to support your case.
C. Are there any ethical concerns about your strategy(ies)?
