Social determinants affect access to health care, foster or interfere with the ability to practice health behaviors, affect physiology through influences on stress hormones, and result in ecological/epidemiological changes that can affect multiple generations. Culture and lifespan have a profound effect on designing a health promotion program.

• Discuss how health disparities can be reduced through the application health promotion research in a specific culture or population aggregate (such as an Ethnic Group, low socioeconomic community, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning or any population that has health disparities ).

• What are the advantages of using logic models when planning and evaluating health promotion programs?

• Discuss a leadership strategy the advanced practice nurse can incorporate to improve quality and cost-effective care

There are significant differences in the quality and span of life between individuals and some populations experience a disproportionate amount of disease burden. This assignment will identify a health disparity and discuss social determinants of health, epidemiology, cultural considerations, and health care literacy.

Assignment Criteria:

For this assignment, develop a scholarly paper that includes the following criteria:

1. Identify and define health disparity related to the advanced practice nurse’s area of practice or chosen specialty.

a. Some examples include asthma, cancer, cardiovascular disease, stroke, diabetes, obesity, low birth weight, infant mortality, HIV/AIDS, TB, Depression, Schizophrenia, Substance Use Disorders, suicide, homicide.

2. Discuss three social determinants of health.

3. Describe how the three social determinants of health could influence the identified health disparity.

4. Identify the epidemiology associated with the chosen health disparity.

a. Specify the incidence at the state level

b. Specify the incidence at the national level

5. Describe the cultural considerations related to the chosen health disparity.

6. Describe the health care literacy challenges of the population impacted by chosen health disparity.

Theories provide a foundation or framework for the understanding and application of complex concepts. Theories of health promotion provide an understanding of the motivation or self-efficacy of health care seeking behaviors for individuals, groups or populations. Health promotion models help healthcare professionals in conducting community needs assessments or developing and evaluating health promotion activities.

Assignment Criteria:

Develop a scholarly paper that includes the following criteria:

1. Describe the differences between health education and health promotion.

2. Explore a community-based health promotion program.

a. For example: Million Hearts, Healthy People 2030, WHO, United States Preventative Services (USPTF., Special Olympics ,Fit5 program, YMCA, YWCA, Alcoholic Anonymous, A, Silver Sneakers, cardiac rehabilitation, diabetes support groups, Grief Support, Mental Health.

3. Determine a health promotion model or theory that could be applied to the selected community-based health promotion program.
