Health Protection, Prevention, and Promotion Plan for Family

This project outlines a comprehensive health protection, prevention, and promotion plan, addressing health disparities through a family-focused approach. The plan incorporates routine health checkups, telehealth applications, and referrals to specialists like heart specialists and nutritionists. It includes strategies to prevent alcohol consumption, utilizing programs like Alcoholics Anonymous and motivational techniques, alongside referrals for medication and addressing spiritual concerns. Communication strategies emphasize the use of interpreters and cultural sensitivity to improve health information dissemination. Collaboration with interdisciplinary teams, including social workers and nutritionists, is highlighted. Cultural considerations involve identifying behaviors, customs, and practices to strengthen family relationships. The plan emphasizes education on healthy eating, hygiene, PPE use, regular checkups, and exercise. Adherence is maintained through surveys, interviews, and addressing transportation issues, with educational resources including technology, DVDs, and checklists to stimulate interest. The plan references several key academic sources.
