As a leader in designing a community health assessment, it is expected that you would develop an engagement approach. Define engagement approach. Discuss the steps you would take to designing an engagement approach with stakeholders when designing a community health assessment. Whom would you include? Define each step and roles of any individuals you may include in these steps. Finally, does a “one size fit all” method apply here? Why or why not?Give your personal opinion to  Rachel Shi and  Ashley Mcconnell Rachel Shi According to the Association for Community Health Improvement, the community engagement approach is a collaborative effort between hospitals, community members, and stakeholders in identifying and prioritizing health needs and developing strategies to address those issues (Association for Community Health Improvement, 2017). Stakeholders are any individuals or interest groups that are affected by the intervention, policy, or strategy used, so I would welcome and include any voices who could be impacted. The approach will definitely be different depending on the target population, group dynamics of the stakeholders, and the health issue at hand. Leadership should be adaptive, and involved parties should attempt to anticipate any downstream consequences of the intervention. In mobilizing the team for a community health assessment, I would intentionally involve a network of parties in discussions, emphasizing unity in goals and leveraging the strengths and expertise of each asset. It is important to include representatives of vulnerable or at-risk populations who would be more knowledgeable about health issues, availabilities and deficits in resources, cultural norms and ways to communicate, and health beliefs. In addition, health data analysts would be important for evaluating pre-assessment and post-intervention conditions and developing an action plan. Once a multidisciplinary, coherent team is assembled, attention would then be focused on defining the community of interest and obtaining other perspectives and insights about the target population. Demographic data must be collected along with information on physical resources, networks, and informational partnerships related to public health. Once a consensus is reached, discussions on prioritizing health needs, communicating the findings, and developing appropriate interventions can be arranged.Reference Association for Community Health Improvement.

Community Health Assessment and Improvement Planning is vital work for the future health of our community. The best plans may not be successful if the proper steps are not taken to ensure stakeholder support from the community. Establishing robust, trusting relationships with community stakeholders fosters a welcoming and inclusive environment, creating a stronger sense of joint ownership of the community health assessment (Association for Community Health Improvement, 2017).To be “fully engaged” with a community, on a formal or informal level, calls for a preparation and involvement. Such engagement means working with communities to truly assist them in public health awareness and education. This can be done through a variety of methods, whether it be through town hall meetings, focus group sessions, one-on-one interpersonal dialogues, or a long-term community intervention project (Frederick, 2013).The individuals included in this approach to engagement would be community leaders or board members of the city council, school board, chamber of commerce and local public health and healthcare leadership. Each individual would be represented in all phases of the engagement process including the identification of community cultural and economic factors that would shape the approach of improvement planning.  A one size fits all approach is not possible for the engagement approach in community assessment planning. The unique attributes and social dynamics that are represented in each community are far too different and require custom approaches to engage stakeholders in success.Association for Community Health Improvement.

Another potentially detrimental health effect related to smoking that has implications for care of older adults is the potential for altering the effects of medications. Interactions can occur in people who smoke or use nicotine products (including smokeless tobacco) and in people who have recently quit smoking. Interactions can be due directly to the physiologic effects of nicotine or they may be caused by the hydrocarbons in tobacco smoke, which can affect hepatic metabolism of some medications. Identify 2 medications affected by nicotine. What changes can it cause? How would you address this with your clients?300 words with 3 references within the last 5 years. Location is Texas in the USA

FALL – 15 WEEK 2020 Home Announcements Modules Grades People Conferences Writing and Anti-Plagiarism Participation Tool Excelsior College Library Guide TutorMe Support Resources Manage Discussion This is a graded discussion: 0 points possible due – M3D1: Social Media: How do we Know What Is Credible? No unread replies. No replies. Active discussion participation makes your learning experience that much richer. Discussion in this course is designed to simulate a classroom discussion. As others join in the discussion, you should read what has already been posted and then add substantively to the discussion. Please remember to post by Wednesday! Get in the habit of checking the discussions as often as you can to see what others have posted and to respond. The earlier in the week that you begin posting, the deeper the conversation and learning will be. We will go through each question one at a time together, discussing each one until we are ready to move on to the next question as a class. I will assist you in moving through the questions. The first question in this discussion is opinion and experience-based, so you can begin immediately. When people are diagnosed with a condition like cancer, they are often compelled to gather information about their condition and its treatment. Their family members are as well. The health professionals who work with these individuals are also tasked with staying up-to-the-second on the latest information. Most likely, social media will play a role in the information-gathering process for both groups. As you consider the discussion questions, imagine that you are working as a professional in your area of emphasis with an individual who has been diagnosed with advanced colorectal cancer. A health professional’s role is often to provide information and share sources for additional information. In addition to printed information often provided on cancer and treatment protocols, many patients will want to learn more on their own through the Internet and the interconnectedness of social media. In your opinion and based on all you have learned in your time at Excelsior, discuss the following questions together: What are some concerns with the use of social media to learn more about cancer? What kind of consumer-focused social media would you be likely to recommend, if any? What type of social media would you use to gather information from the health/medical perspective? For subsequent questions please meaningfully integrate what you learned from the course materials, as well as additional supporting articles or videos that you choose to include. What are some key criteria in establishing the credibility of social media resources? To what extent do these criteria vary by type of social media, e.g. blogs, discussion boards, videos, Facebook posts, and tweets? Blogs are especially popular in the area of cancer treatment, for both professionals and consumers. Share with the class an example (with direct hyperlink) of a credible blog related to colorectal cancer. What makes this blog a credible source of information? Share an example (with direct hyperlink) of a cancer-related blog of questionable credibility. What diminishes the credibility of this blog? As you discuss your findings, consider the bigger picture and discuss the credibility of the information for various stakeholders, including people affected by cancer and health professionals. To close out the week, let’s consider how we communicate our concerns about social media with our patients/consumers and their loved ones. Assume that the individual’s family has found a discussion on a “cutting edge” treatment approach to advanced colorectal cancer on a social media web site. The family is excited about the potential. You have serious concerns about its credibility. How would you address these concerns with the family? Consult the Discussion Posting Guide for information about writing your discussion posts.
