Assessment Instructions
Part I
To prepare for the first part of the assessment, complete the following:
Review the literature or use health assessments to determine health care needs of a diverse population in your community.
Explore things that could influence success, such as cultural attitudes toward alternative forms of healing, religious beliefs, or other individuals.
Examine the impact of current health promotion and wellness initiatives on health outcomes and health disparities.
Review the literature to identify best practices.
Once you have identified a diverse population, develop an educational program, event, or piece of literature that promotes wellness and disease prevention.
If you choose an educational program or event, be sure you outline the basic content of the program or event, as well as how you would structure it. If you
choose a piece of literature, be deliberate in the points you highlight. Be sure that your choice is appropriate for the population.
For an educational program or event, prepare and submit an outline of the content and structure.
For a brochure or pamphlet, prepare and submit the brochure or pamphlet using a simple Word document or a Microsoft Publisher document, if you have
that software available.
Part II
Explain how you developed your educational program, event, or piece of literature and address any barriers to disease prevention and health promotion for

and so on.
