Write a short paper that describes a Antimicrobial Resistance and the public health programs that have been implemented to address this specific issue. Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
Describe Antimicrobial Resistance, including the affected population, and the social and behavioral risk factors that are associated with the issue
Delineate between social and behavioral risk factors that contribute to disease, and diseases that contribute to social and behavioral risk factors
Describe the public health programs implemented to address this issue, and determine how these programs addressed the social and behavioral risk factors
Determine the successes and failures of these programs, and clearly explain why you have determined them successes and failures
Select a program that you will examine for your final project, and provide the rationale for your choice
Substantiate your work with data and references from peer-reviewed academic journals
Submit assignment as a Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins. Paper should be 3 pages in length. At least three sources from peer-reviewed academic journals must be cited in APA format.

Develop a hypothetical health promotion plan, 3-4 pages in length, addressing a specific health concern for an individual or a group living in the community.
For this assessment, you will propose a hypothetical health promotion plan addressing a particular health concern or health need affecting a fictitious individual or group living in the community. The hypothetical individual or group of your choice must be living in the community; not in a hospital, assistant living, nursing home, or other facility.
To complete your hypothetical health promotion plan, please use the following outline to guide your work:
Health Promotion Plan
To begin, first select a health issue or need that will be the focus of your assessment from the Assessment 01 Supplement: Health Promotion Plan [PDF]  Download Assessment 01 Supplement: Health Promotion Plan [PDF] resource.
After you select a specific health concern or health need from the resource above, next investigate the concern or need and best practices for health improvement, based on supporting evidence.
Create a scenario as if this project were being completed face-to-face.
Identify the chosen population and include demographic data (location, lifestyle, age, race, ethnicity, gender, marital status, income, education, employment).
Describe in detail the characteristics of your chosen hypothetical individual or group for this activity and how they are relevant to this targeted population.
Discuss why your chosen population is predisposed to this health concern or health need and why they can benefit from a health promotion educational plan.
Based on the health concern for your hypothetical individual or group, discuss what you would include in the development of a sociogram. Take into consideration possible social, economic, cultural, genetic, and/or lifestyle behaviors that may have an impact on health as you develop your educational plan in your first assessment. You will take this information into consideration when you develop your educational plan in your fourth assessment.
Identify their potential learning needs. Collaborate with the individual or group on SMART goals that will be used to evaluate the educational session (Assessment 4).
Identify the individual or group’s current behaviors and outline clear expectations for this educational session and offer suggestions for how the individual or group needs can be met.
Health promotion goals need to be clear, measurable, and appropriate for this activity. Consider goals that will foster behavior changes and lead to the desired outcomes.

References MUST be scholarly published in the last 5 years!!!!!
Please include AI and turn it in reports
This was a qualitative study utilizing telephone interviews as the methodology and using descriptive date (percentages) to describe the results. It’s an example of how qualitative research is conducted and how it can be reported.
After reading the article, write an article analysis that answers the following questions:
Look at the sample characteristics. Are these the sampling characteristics you would have chosen for this study?
How do the sampling characteristics relate to the population?
Regarding the household income, 45% of those surveyed was $49,000 and under with 24% under $25,000. How important would income be in answering this survey? Would it have been beneficial to separate the income into different levels? Would it have been beneficial to separate out the respondents with incomes of $75,000 or more which made up 31% of the respondents?
Does this article really ‘generalize’ the public’s view on college costs today?
How would you change this study to be more “generalizable” to the population?
This study was done in 2009. How would you change it to reflect current times?

Week 8 Discussion – Decisions on Health Care Organization Alliances
Use the Internet or Basic Search: Strayer University Online Library to research one recent health care organization’s alliance, and compile the factors that led to the alliance.
Distinguish the factors that are most important in carrying out a successful health care organization’s merger or acquisition.
Defend at least one reason why health care organization alliances are sometimes necessary. Provide a rationale for your response.
Be sure to respond to at least one of your classmates’ posts.

his assessment consists of three parts.
Data Presentation 
In this part of the assessment, you will apply the selected tool to the problem and produce a minimum of two visual data displays (charts, graphs, et cetera). Examples of tools you might include are:
Cost Benefit Analysis: Excel spreadsheet, converted into 2–3 worksheet tabs, graphs, or other visual display format.
Compliance Assessment: 3 major criteria converted into 3 separate pie charts or other graphic display format.
Lean Analysis: The percent of variance by major factor converted into 2–3 trend lines.
Note: At a minimum, provide a cost benefit analysis of the recommendation. 
Quantitative and Qualitative Analysis of Data
In this part of the assessment you will analyze the collected data relative to benchmarks. Provide discussion as to whether the selected benchmarks are internal to the organization, external industry benchmarks, or a combination. Be sure to include a short summary of observations. Note: If the problem requires an additional tool, such as a compliance audit tool, you may include more than one discussion of the results. 
Evidence-Based Recommendations
In this final part of the assessment, provide evidence-based recommendations that will help to address the identified problem. Be sure to support your recommendations with references to current, scholarly, and/or authoritative sources. Also include an explanation as to why the recommendations are feasible for this particular organization. For example, one recommendation might be to offer a new service line.  Even though the new service may not generate an immediate profit, it might serve to draw additional patients into the network.

Topic 1 Epidemiological Issues
What epidemiological issues did you find in your community?
What differentiates these as epidemiological issues vs. individual issues? For example, hypertension in the African American population is an epidemiological issue, but in the Caucasian population, it is an individual issue.
