Explain the principles and strategies you used to develop the message, and your reasoning.

/in /by

In our busy world of constant communication, where we are bombarded by information and messages and needs, how do you cut through that noise to get people’s attention? How do you influence people to watch and listen to what you have to say, even if the topic is not one they have thought about before? How do you persuade them to take the action you request? That is your challenge and goal for this Discussion.

The issue is healthcare in rural areas of the United States. Your first task will be to educate yourself on the needs of people in these areas. If you live in an urban area, you may not be aware of the degree to which place informs resources available and access to those resources. Being poor and underserved in a rural area increases the needs of these residents. Consider this finding from the 2010 National Healthcare Quality and Disparities Reports: “Despite improvements, differences persist in health care quality among racial and ethnic minority groups. People in low-income families also experience poorer quality care.” (AHRQ, 2014, para.1)

The media message that you develop could impact services in a rural county where you live or in your state, now or in the future.

For this Discussion you will respond to the following scenario:

Imagine that you are an employee in the Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) of your county. Your department is launching a campaign to increase quality services to the underserved in your community. You are tasked with developing a media message that HHSA will disseminate to the public, with the goal of persuading people to donate money for a mobile screening bus that can travel to rural areas of the county and reach underserved individuals and families.

PROJECT

Post responses to the following:

· Present the text of your media message.

· Explain the principles and strategies you used to develop the message, and your reasoning.

· Justify how your media message is ethical by referencing specific codes of ethics and other resources.

Explain a situation in which you heard it said or someone said to you something that started a conflict or became a confrontation. Explain how it made you feel.

Question 4 of 6

Research/Reader

The Individual Learning Project is an opportunity for you to evaluate yourself and your role within your organization by completing 10 self-assessment activities. You will begin the paper by completing a modified Abstract that details a past, present, or future job you will use as a basis for analyzing the self-assessment results. You will then write a full-page analysis of each assessment and combine all 10 together according to the provided format for submission.

These are the activities you must complete. They are found at the end of the indicated chapter.

 

CHAPTER SELF-ASSESSMENT ACTIVITY
2 Are You Introverted or Extraverted?
5 Need Strength Questionnaire
8 What Team Roles Do You Prefer?
9 Active Listening Skills Inventory
10 How Do You Influence Coworkers and Other Peers?
11 Dutch Test for Conflict Handling
12 Do Leaders Make A Difference?
13 What Organizational Structure Do You Prefer?
14 Which Corporate Culture Do You Prefer?
15 Are You Tolerant Of Change?

 

After completing an assessment, analyze it by using the scoring key located in Appendix B of your textbook and write an analysis with the following components:

Title of the self-assessment–Centered at the top of the page

1.     Purpose of assessment

2.     Your actual score

3.     The interpretation of your score, using the key

4.     How you can use the results of this self-assessment to improve your effectiveness and/or efficiency in an organization

 

 

Page and Paper Format:

  • Components 1 through 3 above should not exceed ¼ of the space on the page.
  • Component 4 above must occupy the remaining ¾ of the space on the page.
  • All pages are double-spaced with 1” margins (right, left, top, bottom) and left-justified.
  • Font should be Times New Roman or Times Roman and 12-pt size.
  • Titles for each component should be centered according to APA format.
  • The first line of paragraphs should be indented 5 spaces.
  • For the submitted collection of analyses, attach a standard cover page like the sample document accompanying these instructions. Your submissions should also include a reference page if you have any quoted sources within the project.
  • Submit the collection as a Word document.

Schizophrenia and   Smoking [WLOs: 1, 2, 4] [CLOs: 1, 2, 4, 6]

Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read Chapters 11 and 12 in your course textbook, which cover the biological basis of emotion, addiction (substance abuse disorder), and disordered behavior. It is known that the rate of smoking behaviors in schizophrenia occurs at a higher rate than the general population, and there are many theories in the research literature that have tried to explain this connection. In this discussion, you will analyze the high rate of smoking in those diagnosed with schizophrenia compared to the general population.

In your discussion, be sure to

· Discuss the neurobiology of nicotine use disorder, nicotine dependence, and smoking behaviors as a substance use disorder.

· In addition, describe the relationship between the neurobiology and psychological factors in schizophrenia and the connection to smoking behaviors.

o Include information on brain structures, neural pathways, neurotransmitters/receptors, and genetics in schizophrenia, as well as how psychological factors may affect the prevalence of smoking in this population, as well as the success of smoking cessation interventions.

You must use a minimum of one peer-reviewed and/or scholarly source that was published within the last five years, documented in APA style, as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. Your post should be a minimum of 250 words. You may cite and reference your textbook, required or recommended reading, or  multimedia, but these will not fulfill the source requirement.

· Make sure to use terminology from the DSM-5 for psychological/behavioral health conditions and current terminology from professional sources for neurological conditions. Please be sure to access the DSM-5 directly in our library. For further information view The DSM-5: Accessing and Using the DSM-5 in the Ashford University Library (Links to an external site.) screencast on how to access and use this resource, and how to cite and reference the DSM-5.

Guided Response:

Respond substantively to a minimum of two of your classmate’s original posts.

In addition, please observe the following guidelines for all responses:

· Provide a courteous and interactive learning environment.

· Continue to monitor the discussion board throughout the active learning week and reply to anyone (instructor or classmate) who has chosen to respond to your original post.

· Your responses should address (at minimum) the neurotransmitter/receptor systems and/or neuroanatomical structures involved in nicotine use disorder and schizophrenia, care interventions, and the research analysis of your classmate.

· Each response should demonstrate that you have read the existing replies on the board (in your response, mention information and viewpoints already expressed by existing responses to the same post).
