HEALTH INTERVENTION PROJECT TERM PAPER
The assignment is to propose a health intervention project that addresses a key health need. This will be in the form of a written paper due at the end of the semester. You may wish to have your intervention fall within one the key leading health indicator areas specified by the US government, below. Other areas are OK as well
Length=no more than 8-10 pages total(around 2000-2500 words), double spaced, Times New Roman font. Please use ASA citation style at http://lib.trinity.edu/research/citing/ASA_Style_Citations_4.pdf or
http://www.asanet.org/sites/default/files/savvy/documents/teaching/pdfs/Quick_Tips_for_ASA_Style.pdf
Elements of the Project:
Title Page: title of paper, author’s name, course #, date of submission, and word count
Specific Aims: state the relevance of the research problem and need for intervention.
Significance and background: State the desired action and intervention target group or population(s) For example, decreasing cigarette smoking in teens; increasing immunization compliance for toddlers, healthy physical activity in seniors with diabetes, or other goal and population. Provide background and prevalence data about the problem and the group, critically evaluate existing knowledge and studies about the group that identify the need for your intervention project.
Theoretical Perspective: Describe the perspective(s) that guide your project, define the key concepts, and explain how using more than one perspective can strengthen your project design. For example, the health belief model can be applied to interventions aimed at decreasing smoking, or improving immunization compliance, or increasing activity in people with diabetes. Other perspectives can be used as well, depending on topic and populations.
Intervention Design and Methods: Describe the intervention design and the components of the intervention. Your discussion of the intervention should address the following: describe intervention (for example, an education program on effects of cigarettes, a pediatrician comes to discuss childhood diseases to Head Start parents group, cooking class on making healthy foods), define the population, location of the study, number of groups, sample sizes, recruitment procedures (how will you get people involved?) human subjects protections.
Describe how you will know your interventions worked (Evaluation). Describe the key process or outcome measures and how they will be operationalized (i.e., what data will be collected, questions asked, etc.). For example will, you ask people what they thought about your program? Survey, interview, focus group? Will you give them a quiz to see if they learned the material? Or will you look at outcomes? (e.g., did they smoke, get vaccinated, lose weight, decrease blood sugar level?)

what do the EVM calculations indicate with respect to the performance of the project or program? That is, what is the significance of your calculation with respect to program metrics?
The Alpha Machine Tool Project, pages 824 and 826828, provides a sample of the essential elements of a contract performance report (CPR) (i.e., Tables 1519). Answer only questions 10 through 23 (on pages 827828) to Problem 15-18 (which starts on page 824).
Address the following additional instructions in your response:
You may need to perform some calculations of earned value (EV) formulae based on the data in Tables 1519 to answer the questions.
Show the calculations to your answers in full. Furthermore, analyze and explain your calculations with at least 25 sentences of explanation for each answer. For example, what do the EVM calculations indicate with respect to the performance of the project or program? That is, what is the significance of your calculation with respect to program metrics?
Additional note: The Alpha Machine Tool Project scenario is supported by Problem number 15-18, which uses Table 15-19. Do not get confused and use Table 15-18 on page 825, because it relates to Problem 15-17, which is not your assignment.
Folk art is traditionally passed from one generation to the next and is usually learned by listening or observation. Most often the art has elements of artistic design but often serves a family, tribal, or community function. Do you have a relative who plays guitar and sings songs about their experiences? Do you have a relative or friend who makes quilts?
Folk Art in Your Family – Assignment

Do you have a relative or friend who makes quilts? Does someone you know make special food at certain times of the year for special occasions? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, then you know a folk artist!
Instructions:

You may want to ask them:
How they learned their art?
What it means to them?
Who did they teach?

Examining SSRI vs. Benzodiazepine Treatment for Social Anxiety in University Students with Substance Dependence
Background
Background and Significance:
Social anxiety significantly hampers students' academic and social engagement, potentially leading to substance dependence as a coping mechanism. The study recognizes the detrimental effects of untreated social anxiety and substance dependence on academic achievements and long-term success
Methods & Data
Methods & Data:
A systematic literature review was conducted using Cochrane PsycINFO and PubMed, covering research studies published between 2017 and 2023. The selected studies focused on the use of SSRIs and Benzodiazepines in treating social anxiety in university students with substance dependence.
Rationale and Background
Purpose or Rationale:
This poster explores the efficacy and safety of SSRIs and Benzodiazepines in treating social anxiety in university students with substance dependence. The study addresses the significance of identifying appropriate long-term treatments to alleviate the impact of social anxiety on academic performance and overall well-being.
Conclusions and Implications
The findings of the systematic review emphasize the effectiveness of SSRIs and Benzodiazepines in treating social anxiety in university students with substance dependence.
The conclusion suggests that SSRIs, with their superior effectiveness and safety profile, are a preferred choice. However, the study underscores the importance of cautious prescribing due to the potential risk of misuse.
Model Graphic
Outcomes
Major Outcomes:
The literature review identified SSRIs and Benzodiazepines as the preferred treatments for university students with social anxiety and substance dependence. SSRIs, in particular, were found to be more effective in promoting remission and reducing symptoms, fostering students' confidence in social activities. However, the study also highlights the need for careful consideration due to the risk of misuse.
