Southern New Hampshire University: Program Design Plan and Evaluation

This project outlines a community health awareness program designed for the Kentucky community. The program aims to improve health awareness, particularly regarding medication importance, exercise, and dietary habits, to prevent chronic diseases. Stakeholders include community members, residents, and healthcare professionals. The program involves weekly workshops with small groups, and its success will be evaluated based on improvements in individual, family, and self-management skills. The evaluation will assess outcomes such as reduced mortality rates and decreased negative health impacts. The project includes a detailed design plan and evaluation, with a budget of approximately $58,000 and a PowerPoint presentation with speaker notes. The program design and evaluation adheres to APA guidelines, referencing relevant literature on community health initiatives.

PROGRAM DESIGN PLAN AND EVALUATION
This is a community health awareness program on the Kentucky community where
almost no health awareness program was not been used. The stakeholders of this program would
be the community people, pike country residents and the Kentucky health care team that are the
nurses, physicians and health care personnel (Thornicroft, Deb & Henderson, 2016). The
resources and the input of the program would be dependent on the pharmacists, nurses,
physicians and the social workers along with the Government organizations of health and the
Government unit leaders. The program would be done on the basis of small workshops for the
community people each week that comprises of 12 to 16 participants. The workshops will be on
the awareness about the medication importance, different daily exercises will be demonstrated
and the dietary role in the daily routine also needed to be demonstrated in order to let the
community know about the importance of healthy living and prevention of chronic diseases
(Liddy et al., 2015). The awareness program will be evaluated on the basis of the outcomes of
the program that is the individual skills and knowledge will be gained, family knowledge will
also be gained by this program and most importantly the self management skills can be gained by
the implementation of this program. On the basis of this assessment the outcomes can be
evaluated as the mortality rates among the older community people will decrease and also
negative impact of the lack of knowledge on health will be reduced as the knowledge about the
healthy management increased. Implementation of this program needs manpower at least up to
50 people and the equipments and other resources would need a assessment of financial budget
and the expected budget will be approximately $58,000. Finally the evaluation of the program
will be held on the basis of the expected outcomes and on the basis of the evaluation the failure
or the success of the program will be marked.
