Description
This paper is a 3-4 page project that is an analysis of a condition and resources on one health topic for the adult population throughout the lifespan. Consider the influence of socioeconomic status (SES), culture, gender, ethnicity, and spirituality on mental and physical health, as it relates specifically to age in adulthood. What interprofessional resources exist for the topic? The adult lifespan, young, middle and older adult, related risks to the issue should be addressed. (This topic is for the adult population, not adolescents). Are there interventions that benefit the outcome? Consider physiological, psychological and/ or iatrogenic risks. Epidemiological support should be included in the paper.
Be creative in how you address the Assignment. You may choose a specific health topic, social health issue, a health condition or create a family scenario. Consider life transitions and role change. Be sure to include behaviors affecting the risks for the issue or topic, addressing this across the adult lifespan. Again, resources on interprofessional collaboration should be clear and supported with evidence based sources. Analysis of health promotion issues and interprofessional collaboration covers all aspects of nursing. Master’s-prepared nurse educators, leaders, nurse practitioners and all specialty nursing fields are contributors to health promotion in populations across the life span. This Assignment is focused on the adult. You should choose a topic that affects your area of specialty focus as it relates to health promotion and epidemiology.

Health Promotion Among the Hispanic Population
Throughout the United States, numbers are increasing with diversity and one of the
fastest-growing populations are the Hispanics. The Hispanics are those of Mexican, Guatemalan,
Cuban, Colombian, Dominican, Salvadorian, Honduran, and Puerto Rican descent (Motel &
Patten, 2012). According to the U.S. Census Bureau, “in 2016, the Hispanic population
represented nearly 18.3% of the total population (United States Census Bureau, 2017). There is a
need for the nurses to define the best approaches to care for the patients borrowing from the
increased population growth in diverse populations. The paper will investigate details on issues
surrounding the current status of health, disparities involved, and promotion when it comes to
health. Lastly, the paper will address a health promotion program for the Hispanic minority
populations.
Over the lifespan of Hispanics, diabetes affects 17% of adults in the population. The
chances of having or developing diabetes 2 increase among families who have a history of this
disease. Latino adults are 50% more likely to develop diabetes over those in the younger
populations (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, n.d.). Genetics, foods, and activities
place Hispanics at higher risks of developing diabetes 2 so these risk factors are imperative to
keep in mind while promoting health education resources for this minority group (Alexandria,
2014).
Given that the Hispanic population makes up many subgroups...
