Design a graphic, or visual model (concept model) depicting advocacy strategies to support the policy process via a conceptual model or map of local community response to protect population health. Actions of advocacy for health equity, health policy and collaborative opportunities and partnerships should be demonstrated. Demonstrate collaborative opportunities and partnerships for individuals and organizations that challenge barriers that impact population health outcomes and health equity. In order to do this, you should show other disciplines that may be involved, organizations and populations at risk related to the situation. Contexts for ideas and consideration are demonstrated in the domains below, but are not limited.
Examples of topics may be community emergencies and disasters such as: lead water crisis in a small community, excessive heat wave, county wide flood, electrical outage in a housing rent controlled development or, county schools influenza outbreak. You can be creative. You do not have to demonstrate all domains, but rather use the domains as ideas for your advocacy and action.
Further there should be sufficient uniqueness to relate to the topic versus simply using the domain titles alone in the model. Title must include topic and location/ county/ state. The product is a single PPT slide, or Diagram in a Word document, presented as a conceptual model. There should be 6–10 nodes of advocacy/ action presented with relational indication via shape or direction. A node is one of the items; circle/ square with a word in it. You may have sub-topics or bullets within or below each node; however, this is a high level overview assignment. No paragraphing or long sentences. How you design it, demonstrate concepts, and come up with actions is your choice.
You should search examples of concept maps and research the design and content. Pick your topic. Identify key concepts and incorporate the rubric. Organize with shapes, lines, or SmartArt and fine tune it. Create a main concept. Using a simple Smart Art design is sufficient but you are not limited to this and can make your own shapes to best demonstrate the context as you see it. Place the reference list without citation in the speaker notes in PPT, or below the diagram if using Word.
Use concepts and context from the Public Health Emergency Preparedness Program:
· Community Resilience
· Incident Management
· Information Management
· Countermeasures and Mitigation
· Surge Management
· Biosurveillance
And from the International Core Competencies in Disaster Nursing:
· Domain 1 Preparation and Planning
· Domain 2 Communication
· Domain 3 Incident Management Systems
· Domain 4 Safety and Security
· Domain 5 Assessment
· Domain 6 Intervention
· Domain 7 Recovery
· Domain 8 Law and Ethics
Format expectations:
· Follow all assignment directions.
· A single slide in PPT or a single diagram in Word
· Information is organized to convey the content to the reader.
· Viewable fonts and elegant, colorful graphics are present.
· Student name, course and date is in footer or below diagram in small font.
· Lists 4 or more credible peer-reviewed sources; in the speaker notes of a PPT slide, or below the diagram if using Word.
