HEALTH INFOGRAPHIC (100 POINTS)
Infographic tools serve as an effective way to present complex data in a visual format that is compelling, provides rapidly available information, and is directly useful for decision-making purposes. Identify and select a health issue/problem from any of the class discussions, required class readings, or listed websites at the end of the syllabus. Create a one-page infographic based on your selected health issue/problem. Successful completion of this assignment will indicate that the student is succinctly able to identify a health problem/issue, identify the cause, and advocate for change or improvement. The health problem should be of interest to the student and should benefit a specific population. It is crucial that the infographic be concise and creative. A reference sheet should be submitted as a separate page. 
The Issue chosen for this paper is Substance Use Disorder among Veterans- 5 slides total
4 slides with bulleted points to answer questions and support data
1 slide to contain 2 graphs- 1 supporting the data of a rise of substance use disorder and  1 in support of whatever is chosen to address it and the efficacy of the suggestion
What are the implications of the issue (include the specific population impacted)? Remember to highlight any systemic forces.
·       Clearly identify the issue. Also specify who is the audience. List the audience specifically on the infographic.
Identify data and trends to support your findings. Select data and pictorial representation carefully.
Who is responsible or what has caused the problem?
What can be done to address the issue, including any evidence-based policy recommendations?
Each student will prepare a 5-minute powerpoint presentation for their Infographic to be presented 
The presentation should include the following points:
·       Summary of the issue you selected and your plan to address it
·       Discussion of one current local or national program that has attempted to address the issue and discuss the efficacy of the program and whether or not social work/social workers are (or have been) involved in the program
·       Who is your audience for the infographic and what is your plan for maximum exposure and potential for change?
·       Graphs, data, visuals to support the issue and address the issue
Rubric
Issue/Topic/Audience
Is the topic or issue clear? Is the audience specified? There should be clarity around the purpose or goal of this topic. 
What is the problem?
Provide a clear argument for the impact of this issue on a particular group. Use at least 4 facts to support a consistent story which helps describe the magnitude of the problem. Highlighted numbers, graphs or tables are necessary. 
SO WHAT? Why does this problem matter?
Systemic forces are highlighted. Has the issue been examined from a lens of power and oppression?  Social math is used to contextualize the cost or larger implication of the problem on society. The choice of wordsused is thoughtful and supports a deeper understanding of the issue. (

Assignment
Purpose
The purpose of this assignment is to have students engage in the use of HBSE theories and frameworks to assess and evaluate early childhood experiences on later development.
Outcomes
CO 2: Apply conceptual frameworks and developmental theories in describing human development and behavior for young, middle, and later adulthood.
CO 4: Explain how biological, psychological, and sociological developmental dimensions affect one another throughout the lifespan.
Requirements and Guidelines
You will construct a 4 – 5-page paper which must follow APA 7th Edition guidelines (professional version) and adhere to the academic integrity policy of the University. Please utilize the required readings for Module 2 and additional peer-reviewed journal articles (if needed) for this assignment.
Prior to beginning your writing, you need to identify an adult individual (current client, previous client, acquaintance, or relative) whom you have extensive knowledge of their life. This assignment will be difficult if you do not know an extensive amount about this person’s life. The person you identify must meet the following criteria:
The individual should currently have, or have had in the past a clear interaction with a larger system (e.g., medical system, school system, criminal justice system, child welfare system, social service system, public housing system, mental health system).
The individual should also identify with one or more groups impacted by historic and systemic oppression and/or discrimination (e.g., socioeconomic status, disability status, immigration status, race, ethnicity, mental health history, gender, sexual orientation, sexual identity, religious affiliation).
Please provide a brief introduction to the paper and an overview of your identified individual, the large system in question and why they engaged with this large system, and the quality of the engagement with that large system (helpful, not helpful, detrimental, discriminatory, supportive). Provide justification for your assessment of the quality of engagement with the large system.
Using Intersectional Theory assess the individual in terms of interactions with the large system that you identified.
Food for thought: How has each aspect of the individual’s intersectional identity impacted them throughout their life-span. Has it changed from young adulthood to their current age? Do you believe that aspects of their intersectional identity impact the way they engage with the large system, or conversely how they are treated by the larger system? Is their engagement with the larger system representative of how they engage with society as a whole?
Describe the geographical location (larger environment) that the individual resides in. Your description should include the geographic location (state, region of the US, urban, rural etc.…).
Food for thought: Is the impact of the individual’s intersectional identity further exacerbated by the geographic location where the individual resides? Describe how the individual interacts with their larger environment. Did their behavior or engagement with their larger environment change based on their engagement with the system? (e.g., they were rejected by the Veteran’s Administration for disability related health benefits thus creating a distrust of government systems).
Bringing it all together: Culturally responsive practice with respect to one’s professional perspective is required in the social work profession. You must maintain self-awareness about intersectional identities and how your perspective of those shapes our professional identity with implications for practice. For the final piece of this paper, you will need to critically reflect on your own intersecting identities and the potential for these to impact your practice.
Food for thought: Have your life experiences impacted your understanding of systemic oppression, and discrimination in our larger society and the larger system of focus? Social work is an action-oriented profession. How can an Intersectionality Framework assist you in analyzing issues and use this to make individual and systemic changes?

Paper Sections/Major Headings
I. Background, Study Rationale and Aims [1 – 2 pages].  Begin with a problem statement that identifies the issue the study proposes to examine.  Follow this with a brief section on the study rationale; why should this study be conducted, and what is its significance?  How will the study be important to the target population, the community, the larger society, etc.?  Remember, the objective here is to convince readers/funders of the need for the study.  Be succinct but also strive for impact and incorporate relevant statistics and data that highlight the need to study the issue identified in the problem statement.  Close this section with the study aim(s), research question(s), and hypothesis(-es).
II. Proposed Methodology [3 – 4pages].  In this section, address how the study will be conducted.  The following bullet points are intended to guide the content of the methodology section:
• Describe and justify the study design.  Be specific.  For example, is the design quasi-experimental or experimental? Is it retrospective, cross-sectional, longitudinal, etc.?  Will there be a comparison group/control group, and how will that group be constructed?  Be sure to explain the choice of study design; why is it the most appropriate for the study?  Moreover, address issues and threats to internal and external validities. 
• Describe the sample (human participant characteristics) and recruitment strategies.  What type of probability or non-probability sampling will be employed and why?  What will be the source of the sample and the number of participants?      
• Lay out the data collection procedures.  What steps will be taken, and by whom, to collect data and provide informed consent?  What specific data will be collected, from whom, and for how long?  Articulate how the chief study variables will be operationalized and measured.  Address the reliability and validity of measurement tools.  Propose the use of at least one existing scale/measurement, identify it by name and report on its reliability and validity as noted in the literature (including the citation of such indicators as Cronbach’s alpha, etc.).  For those variables where an instrument is not readily available, indicate the concepts that need to be measured and be clear about how these concepts will be observed.  Be sure to identify the level of measurement of the variables.  Issues of reliability and validity should be addressed for these measurement approaches, as well.
