During this module, you explored the topics of trends and future directions. Over the years, several models for selling software have emerged, including Software as a Service (SaaS)—where a provider licenses software to customers as a “service on demand” through a subscription model, often delivered via a “Cloud” architecture.

  • What difficulties might an investigator run into when attempting to collect forensics evidence where Software as a Service (SaaS) was utilized?
  • Additionally, describe the “Cloud” and what problems it may pose to the forensic investigator.

In preparing your response, include at least one source from professional or academic literature—such as articles from peer-reviewed journals and relevant textbooks. For this course, the use of Wikipedia is not considered an academic or professional reference. Also, be sure to proofread and spellcheck your responses. All sources should be formatted using APA guidelines.

Overview

Develop a 3–5-page report that explains how an organization serves the health care concerns and needs of a population. The report should identify gaps in the health care service, explain strategies to bridge the gaps, and describe potential barriers to those strategies.

Note: The assessments in this course build upon each other. You are strongly encouraged to complete them in sequence.

    Context

    Pérez and Luquis (2014) stated, “Integrating cultural proficiency practices into the individual practices of health educators and public health organizational policies is a call to action” (p. 50). It is important for those in health care to be aware of the methods used to identify and evaluate the specific health care needs of individuals, communities, and populations, and to understand the meaning of health literacy as it pertains to the needs of a multicultural population or group.
    SHOW LESS

    With a growing diverse population, the incorporation of cultural and linguistic competence should be included into the planning, implementation, and evaluation of health education and promotion programs. “In this process, it is essential to employ theoretical models that describe and explain culture and related concepts (Pérez & Luquis, 2014, p. 165). Cultural constructs need to be applied to all health education, promotion, and prevention interventions targeting diverse communities (Pérez & Luquis, 2014).

ASSESSMENT MODELS IN PUBLIC HEALTH

Assessment models are an integral part of public health program design and evaluation, but you might ask “exactly what are these models and how do I use them?”

If you were a personal trainer and you had a new client, you could just list a variety of exercises and the number of repetitions to do. You could write up a meal plan with recommended breakfasts, lunches, and dinners and have an entire plan to present your client at the first meeting.

It’s possible that such a strategy might meet your clients needs, but it’s unlikely.

No, instead, you would meet with your client and talk about past history, likes and dislikes, concerns, and constraints. Only after determining what your clients goals are, can you begin to design an exercise and diet regimen that will be appropriate for this particular client.

In the same way, while it would be possible to pick a health concern and apply whatever services and program components your agency has employed in the past, such a strategy does not have much chance of success.

Instead, you would want to meet with community stakeholders, gather and analyze information, determine the context of the issue, and then create an intervention that is designed specifically to bring about the changes the community wants and needs.

There are good reasons for using some kind of model or theoretical framework for any intervention.

Most models provide a framework for critical analysis of the context for the situation you’re addressing. They don’t guarantee that your analysis will be complete or accurate, but they certainly help improve your odds!

Models allow you to detail the intervention and this detail allows you to have measurable objectives. Measurable objectives allow you to identify your program’s accomplishments and failures, and in that way establish accountability.

A good model will present a clear picture of what activities will be undertaken and what results you expect to see for the community and the people who make up that community.

Let’s look at two specific models to see how they work.

The first is the PRECEDE – PROCEED model. PRECEDE focuses on the planning of a program and PROCEED on the assessment of its success. For this presentation, we will only look at PRECEDE – the planning.

PRECEDE stands for Predisposing, Reinforcing, and Enabling Constructs in Educational/Environmental Diagnosis and Evaluation. As its name implies, it represents the process that precedes, or leads up to, an intervention.

PRECEDE was developed for use in public health and makes some assumptions about how to prevent illness and promote health. These include:

  • Health promotion has to include those affected by the issue or condition in question.
  • Health is influenced by community attitudes and the community environment (physical, social, political, and economic).
  • Health is only one of many factors that make life better or worse for individuals and the community as a whole.
  • Health derives from many other factors – economic, social, political, ecological, and physical – that all contribute to quality of life for individuals and communities.

PRECEDE has four phases:

  • Phase 1: Identifying the ultimate desired result.
  • Phase 2: Identifying and setting priorities among health or community issues and the behaviors, attitudes, and environmental factors that are either in the way of or necessary for attaining the desired result.
  • Phase 3: Identifying the predisposing, enabling, and reinforcing factors that can affect the factors given priority in Phase 2.
  • Phase 4: Identifying the administrative and policy factors that influence what can actually be done.

Another model you should consider is PEN-3.

The PEN-3 Model was developed to ensure that culture was not only a part of assisting public health planning, but was actually central in the planning, implementation and evaluation of health interventions.

The PEN-3 is a conceptual model for d of health education programs. It consists of three aspects of health that each contain three factors that must be analyzed and considered in order to reach a culture-centered intervention strategy.

The three aspects of health in a PEN-3 model are:

  • Health education.
  • Educational diagnosis of health behavior.
  • Cultural appropriateness of health behavior.

The first aspect of the pen-3 model is health education.

This aspect helps define the target audience not so much in terms of just focusing on the person exhibiting the health behavior to be changed, but more in terms of an educational effort that encompasses the person and his or her social network. The factors within the health education aspect are:

  • Person.
  • Extended family.
  • Neighborhood.

The integration of individual, family, and community is one of the distinguishing characteristics of the PEN-3 model.

The educational diagnosis aspect looks at the factors that influence actions. Pen-3 identifies these as:

  • Perceptions: Knowledge, attitudes and beliefs that may influence whether or not a person will adopt a desired healthy behavior.
  • Enablers are those things that enable or make possible the behavior – availability of resources, accessibility, affordability, and so forth.
  • Nurturers are those things that a person receives from the social networks that reinforce the desired healthy behavior.

The cultural appropriateness of a health behavior aspect looks at the perceptions, enablers, and nurturers and determines whether or not they lead the population being analyzed to engage in healthy behaviors (positive), have a neutral relationship with health behaviors, but should still be incorporated into the intervention strategy (exotic) or which interfere with the target engaging in healthy behaviors or which encourage harmful behaviors.

PRECEDE and PEN-3 are just two of the many models available for program design and assessment. Different models have different strengths and applications but the common denominator is that models help ensure that your program design addresses clearly defined goals instead of randomly chosen approaches to health intervention.

Throughout the course, the subject of regulation and deregulation (government involvement or intervention) and its impact on intermodal transportation has been discussed. Chapter 15 discusses the role of government on fostering intermodal transport innovations. The author suggests that the US government should be the catalyst for innovations in intermodal transportation. He argues that industry, in a free market economy, has been limited in their ability to deliver these innovations.

Do you agree or disagree with the author? Justify you position using historical examples (development of nuclear power has been led by the government; development of new technologies for DOD is primarily driven by industry) to support your argument.

Submissions should be a maximum of 2-3 pages.

Submission Instructions: Please attach the assignment in Word Format. Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.
