public health emergencies in emergency management

Question description

Please answer this question each in spirit file

🔴 the first file includes the answer for this question🔴

Read the article on the Haddon matrix application (Haddon Matrix Article.pdf ) to public health emergencies in emergency management. The Haddon matrix was designed in the 1960s as a model to understand injury prevention and control. It examines agent, host and environment in three phases, pre-event, event and post-event.

Choose any disaster incident type listed in the Comprehensive Planning Guide (CPG-201 v 2) or the THIRA document and use your skills with data management software programs (Microsoft Excel) to create a matrix that examines the interaction of influencing factors and phase. Don’t forget to include factors that would ‘protect’ or ‘strengthen’ the host to resist damage/injury. This activity is consistent with the first step of the THIRA process!

You may not use any of the examples given in the assigned article. Pay specific attention to attributes of the host found in the assigned reading in Perry and Lindell which may contribute to why emergency planning is difficult or made more difficult. You may choose to write about disaster incidents in other countries but make sure to provide detail about what particular characteristics or societal values are different or unique based on your choice. If you choose to use such an incident, be certain to cite, using APA format, the reports you used to understand that event.

I do not expect you to provide the depth and breadth of answer found on page 563 (public health Haddon matrix) but I do expect more information than what is presented in the original matrix example which is found on page 562.

And again, while it is very valuable to look at published matrices, you must create one of your own for the event you select.

PS: The University maintains “Atomic Learning,” which is a useful resource on the basic mechanics of manipulating Excel. I highly suggest you review that before attempting the assignment.

Heart-to-Heart Community Outreach Campaign

/in /by

Include a brief overview of the initiative and your rationale for selecting the initiative.

Please note the 1 page limit. Two paragraphs are sufficient for topic approval!

Be sure to also include an APA formatted title page and a reference page.

I just need to know what public health initiative/program you will be working with and where it is located and the rationale. The rationale should be based on science and not personal experience. This means one or two peer reviewed journal articles stating the public health need for the program and the impact of the public health issue on the population. Please do not tell me your “motivation” or personal experience with a public health issue. For example, “several people in my family have type II diabetes so I want to work with a program addressing the issue” is your motivation not a rationale.

Remember, it is always a good sign if your program has a name, that indicates an up and running public health program (e.g., Healthy Mothers/Healthy Babies, The Rose, Heart-to-Heart Community Outreach Campaign, CHARM, SMART Girls program, Maryland Million Hearts program, Blair Drug & Alcohol Partnerships (BDAP), Michigan Cancer Consortium Initiative, H.A.L.T. TB).

Please note that the SPP for this course MUST BE an already up and functioning public health program. You will not be creating a new program. I tell students to start with the local health department, community health centers, and county health clinics. They usually have smoking cessation programs, obesity prevention programs, diabetes prevention programs, or healthy moms/healthy baby programs, to name a few. Also please do not select a national level program, it must be small enough to create a budget. So again, think local!
