– Description of Program and

Logic Model

Describe an evidence-based intervention based on your completed needs assessment. Your intervention should be population-based and informed by your chosen theory and SMART goals and objectives. Population-based interventions can be directed at the entire population within a community, the systems that affect the health of those populations, and/or the individuals and families within those populations known to be at risk. Use the Logic Model to design your proposed intervention.

1. Description of the Intervention

a. Describe the population-based, evidence-based program/intervention.

The population group in focus is that of African-American people. The program focused on developing a program that can be used to combat cardiovascular diseases (CVD) among the target population. The population has lost faith and trust in the healthcare system from the assessment. Furthermore, they believe that surgical procedures lead to death due to clot formation. This makes most of them fear looking for help. Therefore, the need to consider an effective program that is population-based and at the same time evidence-based. The considered approach was a multicomponent behavioral lifestyle change intervention. The approach was considered because it is relevant for the population targeted. The approach focuses on the identification of cultural relevance for African-Americans. Furthermore, the approach also focuses on strategies that can reduce blood pressure among the chosen population and, addresses the various risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, the approach can be effective in this case, which can lead to the management and prevention of CVDs among the African-American population. The intervention is built on several theories, including the transtheoretical model, relapse prevention model, behavioral self-management techniques and social cognitive theory.

b. Discuss how the intervention will support improving the health issue for the target population.

The intervention is focused on goal setting for alcohol consumption, monitoring progress, physical activity and diet. The intervention will be used to identify the relationship between cardiovascular diseases and physical activity. Moreover, it will explain what physical activity is and its various levels. The method will help improve the general health and wellbeing of the target population as it is tailored to meet the needs of the target population. Also, the approach focuses on ensuring that clinical events and CVDs mortality cases are reported. The prevention strategy is urgent for the African American communities where the prevalence rate of CVDs is high. The program will focus on establishing lifestyle risks reduction. The intervention will also address barriers associated with the management of CVDs.

2. Goal and Objectives

a. Goal:

The goal of the program implementation is to explicitly look into barriers to CVDs prevention and management. The implementation program will also focus on aspects that can improve cardiovascular health factors and behaviors among the African-American population.

b. Process Objectives (the activities to be completed in a specific period):

Cardiovascular disease is prevalent among the African-American population. A considerable percentage of the population lives in poor neighborhoods, and most receive low incomes (Chen et al., 2018). This means disparities in how healthcare services are disseminated to the target population. Corresponding disparities such as sedentary lifestyles, smoking, hypertension, and obesity exist among the target population. The approach will consider both the community and individual level factors to deal with health disparity patterns. The program will, in this case, focus on educating and supporting people living with chronic diseases (Chen et al., 2018). The intervention will focus on combining CVD management and risk assessment. Moreover, a focus will be put on developing personalized patient care.

c. Outcome Objectives (changes in knowledge, attitudes, behaviors, policy, environment systems, etc.):

Due to the limitation of resources, the need to prevent and manage CVD among African-Americans is widespread. Therefore, when implementing the program, we will utilize the team-based care model, activating the patients via self-management. The approach also aims to lower the out-of-pocket costs for healthcare services and medications. The program aims to improve the diet literacy levels of the target population (Morgan et al., 2018). This will ensure that they understand the importance of diet in managing and preventing CVDs (Flora & Nayak, 2019). The program is also aimed at educating the target population on the importance of regular physical activity to manage, treat, and prevent CVDs. The program will provide the target population with knowledge on how to exercise regularly, develop healthy eating habits, and measure weight, cholesterol, and blood pressure. These exercises will help with overall psychosocial wellbeing, risk factors modification and improved exercise tolerance.

3. Complete the Logic Model. Design your intervention using the template on the following page:


Part 2 – Implementation Timeline and Action Plan

Develop a program timeline and action plan using a Gantt chart, depicting the key tasks, activities and people involved in the first 12 months (1 year) of implementing your program and the projected timeframe for completion of each task. Use the objectives you defined in Part 1.


Example
:

Objective: By the end of the school year, district health educators will have delivered lessons on tobacco refusal skills to 90% of youth participants in the middle school tobacco prevention curriculum.

H. Budget Proposal and Justification

The implementation of the program will put into consideration several aspects. These aspects will ensure that the implementation process is done in a well synchronized and coordinated approach. The program requires several personnel who are equipped with different skills and knowledge. The curriculum instructor will be needed to help develop a physical activity curriculum. Moreover, the program will require a program coordinator to ensure that all activities are carried out promptly. The coordinator will also coordinate all project activities and services, including information dissemination, communication and training. The project manager will provide guidance and direction to staff members in this project. The treasurer will handle all the finances and be the chief financial officer in the program. The technician will handle all technical aspects of the project, including all the information technology equipment and disseminating information through social media platforms. The registered nurse will ensure that the programs utilize evidence-based practices that align with the treatment and management of cardiovascular diseases. The travel expenses will make it possible for the facilitators to attend a conference on CVDs. This will help in adding the current knowledge on CVDs. The equipment described above will be used to create awareness and ensure that the target population gets word on the street on this program. The consultants will also ensure that the program is implemented according to plan and that all the implementation phases are followed to the later. Further, the consultants will help identify errors that may prevent the program from meeting its set goals and objectives.
