The purpose of this project is to complete the interventional health promotion program. Part 1 of the assignment was the identification of a high-risk population and possible adverse health outcomes. In this assignment, the student will develop evidence-based interventions to address the adverse health outcomes associated with the high-risk factors. An integral part of intervention development is the creation of measurable outcomes to evaluate the program. The consequences of this process in light of the DNP role will be discussed.

Course Outcomes

This assignment provides documentation of students’ ability to meet the following course outcomes:

1. Distinguish the roles and relationships between epidemiology and biostatistics in the prevention of disease and the improvement of health. (PO 1)
2. Assimilate principles of epidemiology with scientific data necessary for epidemiologic intervention and draw appropriate inferences from epidemiologic data. (PO 1)
3. Synthesize ethical and legal principles regarding the collection, maintenance, utilization and dissemination of epidemiologic data. (PO 1)
4. Utilize appropriate public health terminology and definitions of epidemiology necessary for intra-/interprofessional collaboration in advanced nursing practice. (PO 8)
5. Analyze the role of the advanced practice nurse to overcoming access barriers by providing culturally-relevant and high-quality healthcare for vulnerable and high-risk populations. (PO 1)
6. Differentiate biopsychosociopolitical and economic/environmental conditions impacting epidemiologic perspectives that inform scientific, ethical, economic, and political discussion of public health issues. (PO 1)
7. Articulate the driving and restraining forces of public health screening programs. (PO 1)
8. Examine selected strategies for increasing intra-/interprofessional collaboration in interventional health education programs across healthcare settings. (PO 8)
9. Formulate an interventional public health program in response to an identified epidemiologic problem. (PO 1)
10. Integrate intra-/interprofessional collaboration in the design, implementation, and outcomes evaluation elements of a selected interventional public health program for improving health.
