Module 5 Assignment

Critique of Population Health Intervention

Purpose

Population-level interventions include strategies aimed at the promotion of health and prevention of disease that target a specific group of people. Population-focused interventions can be designed to reach at-risk populations, reducing health risks and disparities. However, population-focused interventions may also be effective in reaching geographic populations. The purpose of this assignment is to identify and critique an existing population health intervention within a selected community. The impact of the intervention will be discussed, and a recommendation for enhancement will be proposed.

A printed version of these assignment guidelines as well as a video overview are available below.
