Students should prepare a final paper (@ least 8 double-spaced pages of text, 12 pt.
font, 1” margins, use of maps, tables and figures is encouraged), reflecting on
public health concepts, theory, and methods, in which you:

 
I. 
Introduction

a. 
Identify a community of concern
based on vulnerability (using tools from community commons (www.communitycommons.org)

II. 
Identify 2 social determinants of health (SDoH) impacting your
identified community and provide maps to show how they effect your specific
intervention area

 
III. 
Provide a Community Health Needs Assessment
(CHNA) for your community and identify 2 health disparities impacting your
community public health topic/issue/problem and its impact on your population

a. 
provide a one page write up documenting (with references) the link
between each of your chosen health disparities and your selected SDoH

 
IV. 
Using “what works for health”
(http://www.countyhealthrankings.org/policies) select 2 interventions (one
individual based and one either Policy, System, Environmental) that
address your 2 health disparities

a. 
Begin to fill out your Community Action Plan (CAP) template **This is attached !!! **

 
V. 
Complete and describe your CAP in a way that connects all 4 above steps
to detail how you would engage your community in a Community Health Improvement
Plan

a. 
Your completed CAP should include:  details on what experts know about the health
issue and the types of interventions that have helped to address it, (provide
evidence from at least one organization that is attempting to address the
health issue.)

References (from at least 10
peer-reviewed journals) should be used and cited properly, and are not
included in the 8-10 page limit

For my sake, the community being used is Detroit. I attached a Powerpoint and a CAP template to help you complete the paper. The selected social determinants of health are crime, housing, and poverty. These determinants are found in the powerpoint but must be expanded on in the paper. Also, the chosen health disparity is Stress even though the powerpoint shows Depression. In regards to stress, be sure to mention the idea of John Henryism, etc.
