Final Paper Instructions:

  1. The final case study should include four sections (Symptoms, Diagnosis, Cure, and Prevention). Each section should be about 1 page in length. Your entire paper must be 4-5 pages in length, not counting the title or reference pages, which must be included.
  2. You must cite and integrate at least 2 credible sources in each of the four sections of the paper. You may use readings other than the textbook to meet this requirement. The paper should be based on references to scholarly materials (rather than on introductory textbooks, popular website writings, or musings, for example) and should support your claims with evidence.
  3. Incorporate into this final plan any classmates’ critiques that you found useful as well as your instructor’s feedback.
  4. List the key community members or partners that you plan on contacting, with an explanation why these individuals or organizations make sense as potential partners. This could include your list of potential partners created in Week 4 Critical Thinking Assignment Option #1, or your interview of one key partner completed in Week 4 Critical Thinking Option #2.
  5. Include a special emphasis on either the demographics of the affected population or the economic implications, depending on what Critical Thinking assignment you completed for Week 5.
  6. Include a realistic timeline for your plan. Discuss the time needed for campaigning, education, funding, building, and implementation. Use ideas created during week 6 Critical Thinking Assignments, either the option for annotated bibliography or that for the brainstorming draft feedback.
  7. Refer to the Portfolio Project rubric for grading criteria.

Final Instructions for Slide Presentation:

  1. The slide presentation describes the problem in your community and your action plan.
  2. Your presentation must be 8-10 slides in length, not counting the title and reference slides.
  3. Your presentation must be supported by at least two scholarly articles.
  4. You may use a web-based slide presentation software such as Prezi, for example, or you may use PowerPoint. If you use a web-based tool, include the URL to your presentation in a Word document and upload it with your presentation.
  5. The audience for this presentation will be community members or organizations you wish to educate about the public health issue and your proposed plan.
  6. The purpose of this slide presentation is to educate the audience about the issue. Keep in mind that in real life you will have limited time to convince people of the gravity of the situation and to come on board with their support, so you want to be persuasive and get to the key points quickly and effectively.

Note: Be sure to submit both your written report and your slide presentation for this assignment. Both files should be uploaded in a single submission to the assignment submission page.

The paper and preliminary deliverables must be well written and formatted in conformity with the CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA Requirements.

THE COMMUNITY ACTION PLAN Portfolio Project Milestone I will be choosing option 1 for my portfolio project and the public health issue that I am considering to use for my Portfolio Project is Phone Utilization While Driving with the community being the city of Atlanta, GA. This public health issue has caused an increasing number of fatalities in Georgia statistically increased by a third from 2014 to 2016. Georgia is listed as one of the top 5 states resulting in motor vehicle deaths from 2014-2016 and which illustrates a clear sign that immediate change is necessary. One solution that is being put in place to put a stop to this problem is the passing of the bill HB673 which prohibits actions to where a vehicle operator is distracted. This bill is effective on July 1st, 2018 and will be enforced with violations and other punishments. Atlanta, GA is a highly populated area which also means there are tons of drivers are on the road. It is extremely important that awareness continues to be driven around this public health issue and it shouldn't take a violation or punishment for the community to decide to make a positive influence on this matter.
