You can receive up to 10 points extra credit for completing this assignment.

Instructions:

Please find a local public health intervention or prevention program that is currently being implemented (or was recently implemented) in your community. I have included some websites below to help your search. Once you have found the program, please answer the following questions.

• Describe the program in at least 4-5 sentences.
  • What is the goal of the program, who is the population targeted?
• Identify the type of community intervention (community as a setting, community as a resource, etc) that is being implemented
• Do you think this program is good for your community? Why or why not?
  • Remember, community members are essential to designing effective programs, so think about what you know about your own community and whether this intervention will be effective. What might public health professionals want to consider adding/removing?
