Create a PowerPoint presentation, minimum of 18-20 slides (not including title and reference slides), which identifies and discusses a health care issue and one or two populations it affects. Identify ways the issue can be addressed in a community setting.
In the presentation, address the following:
Identify a health care issue that interests you and one or two populations it affects.
Describe risk and protective factors for each health care issue and population or populations.
Discuss how these factors can be addressed in a community setting versus a traditional medical setting.
Explain what issues/controversies might arise in a community setting and how one would address or overcome them.
Describe successful community interventions that have targeted this issue.
Support your explanations with four to six scholarly resources.
Title slide and reference slide are not included in the slide count. Include speaker notes below each content-related slide that represent what would be said if giving the presentation in person. Expand upon the information included in the slide and do not simply restate it. Please ensure the speaker notes include a minimum of 150-200 words.
This 18–20 slide presentation asks you to identify a health care issue and the population(s) it affects, describe risk and protective factors, contrast community vs. medical settings, and cover controversies and successful interventions. Pick a focused issue and build evidence-based slides.
Key takeaways
- Choose a focused health issue and one or two affected populations.
- Describe risk and protective factors for each.
- Contrast addressing it in a community vs. traditional medical setting.
- Cover controversies in community settings and how to overcome them.
- Include successful community interventions; 4–6 scholarly sources.
Define the issue and population
Pick a health care issue that interests you (e.g., diabetes, maternal health, opioid use, mental health) and identify one or two populations it affects most.
Risk and protective factors
For each population, describe the risk factors (what raises vulnerability) and protective factors (what buffers it) — biological, behavioral, social, and environmental.
Community vs. medical setting
Discuss how the factors can be addressed in a community setting (prevention, education, outreach, social determinants) versus a traditional medical setting (treatment, clinical care), and the controversies that arise in community approaches (funding, access, trust) and how to overcome them.
Successful interventions
Describe real community interventions that targeted the issue and their outcomes.
Format
18–20 content slides, clean visuals, speaker notes, and 4–6 scholarly sources cited.
