High Rates of Diabetes

post has three assignments

1:Reflection

The reflection should not just be a reflection on your portfolio itself, but rather a reflection on this class. What did you learn? What will you take with you into future classes? What skills and literacies did you develop and improve upon? Reflect on yourself as a student, and the class as a whole.The reflection should demonstrate you thinking rhetorically about the class and the work you completed in it.

2:The Self-Assessment Memo

The Self-Assessment Memo is a 1-2 page (300-600 words) honest reflection on how you feel YOU did in this class. It is NOT an evaluation of the instructor or the course itself (save that for your anonymous course survey).***

The Self-Assessment Memo will be graded on the usual writing criteria—good college-level writing, grammar, and mechanics—as well as its attempt to take an honest look at the effort you put into this class. Compare your writing skills when you entered the class to the skills you now have. How much progress did you make during this course? What did you learn about college-level writing? How much did your writing in general improve? What did you learn about your own strengths and weaknesses? If you felt you could have done better but time restrictions, complications in your life, etc. kept you from making your best effort, it would be perfectly acceptable to write about that in this paper.

3: Health issues that different Ethnic groups face. Although it’s important to be aware of the health issues it’s also important to discuss the ways in which we as a society can work together to lessen the burden that the different populations experience.Develop an intervention for one of the following groups:

• Hispanic and Latino
• American Indian or Alaskan Native
• African American
• Asian American or Pacific Islander
• Caucasian American
• Non-Ethnic or LGBT or Migrant Farmworker

Once you choose a population you will choose a health disparity that the group faces. Construct a health promotion intervention that potentially decreases the health disparity that you choose. The intervention must be culturally targeted to the race/ethnic group you choose.

Example) Hispanic and Latinos – High Rates of Diabetes is the health issue
Construct a media campaign that educates Latinos on Healthy cooking practices and exercise

Example) African Americans – High Rates of Heart Disease is the health issue
Construct a program that monitors and supports members of the community

Example) Asian Americans – Increase mental health use. Construct a program that promotes the use of mental health professionals.

Submit a 5 -7 single spaced written proposal that describes your intervention. The following is the minimum that each project must contain:

• Description of the targeted Population
• Description of the Health disparity
• Description of Intervention proposed and how it is culturally competent
• Why this intervention the best route
• Recommendations to government for policy changes
• Recommendations to individuals
• Citations for any information used

Be creative and be as detailed as possible. Look for information outside your textbook to assist you. Look to the CDC website as well as Texas’ State Health Dept. websites for additional data that you can use. Pretend that you have been hired by your city’s local government to come up with this intervention to solve this problem. Make the written proposal as professional looking as possible.
You can include graphs, charts, etc. however I still need to have at least 5 pages of text. Make sure to have normal size font/margins, etc.). Remember I also take quality into consideration.
