Develop a population health improvement plan, based on your evaluation of the best available demographic, environmental, and epidemiological data, that focuses on your diagnosis of a widespread population health issue.
Part of effectively engaging in evidence-based practice is the ability to synthesize raw health data with research studies and other relevant information in the literature. This will enable you to develop sound interventions, initiatives, and outcomes to address health concerns that you find in data during the course of your practice.

Recall an experience you have had working with a population, or as part of a community health improvement initiative, or a time in your care setting that you observed this type of work within your organization or community.
How were data and information about the community incorporated into the work?
Was the diversity of culture and beliefs in the community taken into account?
Were other, secondary, health concerns of the community also taken into account?
Were the economic and daily environmental realities of the community taken into account?
What, if any, ethical issues were considered in working with specific groups and stakeholders in the community?
What suggestions might you offer for doing things differently, if you could revisit that work?
Would you set different goals?
