LASA—Public Health Intervention Project Plan
In this assignment, you will develop and submit a project plan for a community intervention that addresses a significant public health problem of your choice aside from those topics that have been already addressed in other assignments in this course. Your project plan must be based on the PRECEDE-PROCEED model and at least two behavior change theories included in this course.
Respond according to the following:
- Briefly describe the selected health problem and the population. Be sure to select a health problem that has not already been addressed in other assignments in this course.
- Identify key behavioral and environmental risk factors for this health issue in this population.
- Describe and justify the selection of at least two theories of health behavior that can be used to address the behavior problem (the theories should be at different levels—i.e., individual, interpersonal, community).
- Identify predisposing, reinforcing, and enabling factors for behavior change based on the theoretical constructs from the preceding step.
- Using SMART objectives, develop at least one process and one impact and one outcome objective, and provide a brief overview of an evaluation strategy.
Be creative, but also use scholarly support and appropriate references.
Write a 6–8-page (not including reference page and title page) report in Word format . Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

The two theories selected are appropriate to addressing the behavior problem and represent different levels. Description is clear and explains how the theories can address the behavior problem. Justification is grounded in scholarly evidence.48
Identify predisposing, reinforcing, and enabling factors for behavior change based on the theoretical constructs from the preceding step.
Factors identified are accurate and relate to behavior change. They present predisposing, reinforcing, and enabling factors, and they are explicitly based on theoretical constructs from previous step.52
Using SMART objectives, develop at least one process, one impact, and one outcome objective, and provide a brief overview of an evaluation strategy.
Process, impact, and objective are clear and appropriate. Evaluation strategy is specific, reasonable, and grounded in scholarly evidence.52
