Response to Question 1: Population of Interest (POI).
The Population of Interest identified and selected for this assignment is within the age
group of 0 to 17 years. The Population of Interest identified in this group is suffering from
pediatric Asthma. Pediatric asthma is considered to be one of the most commonly found
serious conditions in children, infants, and teenagers. Pediatric asthma is categorized as a
chronic disease but reflects complexities in the diagnosis of the disease. In the identified
Population of Interest, the disease can be identified by the symptoms such as rapid breathing,
coughing and whistling (indicated through whistling sound). The POI resides in New York
City in the region of East Harlem. East Harlem has been an asthma prone region for a long
period, especially from the period of 2013, when the hospitalization rates for severe pediatric
cases elevated by every five-person as per thousand children. Pediatric Asthma can be
triggered by pollen, mold, air pollution, structured psychological factors, violence, stressful
environment, cigarette smoke, pests, and infections. East Harlem has reflected a high rate of
pediatric asthma cases amongst children leading to one of the most top asthma-related
emergencies. In the year 2014, the rate of hospitalization from asthma was found 2.2 times
amongst the identified Population of Interest than the rest of the regions in New York (around
99 per 1000 in comparison to 44 per 1000 people). Moreover, pediatric asthma is also
considered as the leading cause of missed schools amongst the POI in the region of East
Harlem.
Response to Question 2: Impact of Coronavirus on the POI and contribution of
healthcare-built environment
According to the institution, CDC (Centre for Disease Control and Prevention)
indicated that individuals suffering from Asthma, especially children and infants would be
affected by being in contact with the coronavirus infection (CDC.gov, 2020). Pediatric
asthma patients already experience a high rate of respiratory challenges and are highly prone
to infections. Coronavirus is known to be harming the lungs and the respiratory organs. The
COVID-19 is the virus, which affects the lungs, nose, and throat by causing harm in the lungs
(Victor, Lezmi & Leite-de-Moraes, 2020). Thus, the virus will aggravate the condition of
asthmatic patients. COVID-19 can lead to acute respiratory risks and pneumonia amongst the
Population of Interest. In general, Children were witnessed to be experiencing a small
percentage of the symptoms from COVID-19, which is around 2.5 percent. However, asthma
is considered to be one of the most evident risk factors concerning the infection of
Coronavirus. The healthcare built environment of East Harlem is dedicatedly focused on the
families and pediatric asthmatic patients. The healthcare-built environment of the region
conducts, parent counseling sessions, imparts educational programs in the childcare centers,
Homes, Hospitals and Schools and also offers services to the Health Care Providers and
Community-based organizations. The health-care system or built environment in the
residence region of the POI negatively affect or reflect concerns of prevention (NYC.gov,
2020). As per the news reported in New York, a low-income region like East Harlem in
which the residents already lack sufficient healthcare amenities would be affected by the
virus even more (especially for the coronavirus patients) without efficient and directed
management causing frequent hospital visits.
Response to Question 3: Recommendations for preventing COVID-19 directed
towards POI
The above discussion regarding the state of preventive care for the identified POI
reflects the urgent need for a response. Amongst all the theories and frameworks learned in
the course regarding Population Theories, the best-suited framework for battling the risks
caused by coronavirus amongst the pediatric asthmatic patients is Translated revised Health
Promotion Model. According to this model, health can be stated as a positive dynamic
