(250 words) Provide background information regarding smoking cessation and the impact it has on population health. 2. (250 words) Using credible articles discuss and report on how these platforms might be used to collect and analyze near real-time data (“infodemiology”). 3. (250 words) What value does it offer in terms of informing and gauging public attitudes? 4.

Think about a health issue that you are passionate about (other than the one you addressed in your assignments) and list three ways you can impact the issue through advocacy, policies, programs, or laws. As future public health leaders, you all play an important part in shaping the future of health in this country and abroad. Response GuidelinesRead and respond to your peers’ posts according to the guidelines in the FEM. Each response should extend the discussion by seeking clarification or providing feedback on ways your colleagues can affect the health issue through advocacy and other means. Use the current APA style and format for all in-text citations and references. Learning Components This activity will help you achieve the following learning components: Apply masters-level skills in critical thinking, research, and writing. Cite and reference resources in the current APA style and format. Use feedback from instructors and peers to improve writing skills.

Healthcare Policy and Law In the most general sense, this domain is concerned with an individual’s access to care (e.g., What poli- cies and laws impact an individual’s ability to access needed care?), the quality of the care the person receives (e.g., Is it appropriate, cost-effective, and non- negligent?), and how the person’s care will be financed (e.g., Is the person insured?). However, “access,” “qual- ity,” and “financing” are themselves rather large sub- domains, with their own sets of complex policy and legal issues; in fact, it is common for students to take semester-long policy and/or law courses focused on just one of these subdomains.Public Health Policy and Law The second large topical domain is that of public health policy and law. A central focus here is on why and how the government regulates private individuals and cor- porations in the name of protecting the health, safety, and welfare of the general public. Imagine, for example, that the federal government is considering a blanket policy decision to vaccinate individuals across the coun- try against the deadly smallpox disease, believing that the decision is in the best interests of national security. Would this decision be desirable from a national policy perspective? Would it be legal? If the program’s desir- ability and legality are not immediately clear, how would you go about analyzing and assessing them? These are the kinds of questions with which public health policy and law practitioners and scholars grapple.Bioethics Finally, there is the bioethics domain to health policy and law. Strictly speaking, the term bioethics is used to describe ethical issues raised in the context of med- ical practice or biomedical research. More compre- hensively, bioethics can be thought of as the point at which public policy, law, individual morals, societal values, and medicine intersect. The bioethics domain houses some of the most explosive questions in health policy, including the morality and legality of abortion, conflicting values around the meaning of death and the rights of individuals nearing the end of life, and the policy and legal consequences of mapping the human genetic code.Social, Political, and Economic Historical Context Dividing the substance of health policy and law into broad topical categories is only one way to conceptual- ize them. A second way to consider health policy and

As a leader in designing a community health assessment, it is expected that you would develop an engagement approach. Define engagement approach. Discuss the steps you would take to designing an engagement approach with stakeholders when designing a community health assessment. Whom would you include? Define each step and roles of any individuals you may include in these steps. Finally, does a “one size fit all” method apply here? Why or why not?Give your personal opinion to  Rachel Shi and  Ashley Mcconnell Rachel Shi According to the Association for Community Health Improvement, the community engagement approach is a collaborative effort between hospitals, community members, and stakeholders in identifying and prioritizing health needs and developing strategies to address those issues (Association for Community Health Improvement, 2017). Stakeholders are any individuals or interest groups that are affected by the intervention, policy, or strategy used, so I would welcome and include any voices who could be impacted. The approach will definitely be different depending on the target population, group dynamics of the stakeholders, and the health issue at hand. Leadership should be adaptive, and involved parties should attempt to anticipate any downstream consequences of the intervention. In mobilizing the team for a community health assessment, I would intentionally involve a network of parties in discussions, emphasizing unity in goals and leveraging the strengths and expertise of each asset. It is important to include representatives of vulnerable or at-risk populations who would be more knowledgeable about health issues, availabilities and deficits in resources, cultural norms and ways to communicate, and health beliefs. In addition, health data analysts would be important for evaluating pre-assessment and post-intervention conditions and developing an action plan. Once a multidisciplinary, coherent team is assembled, attention would then be focused on defining the community of interest and obtaining other perspectives and insights about the target population. Demographic data must be collected along with information on physical resources, networks, and informational partnerships related to public health. Once a consensus is reached, discussions on prioritizing health needs, communicating the findings, and developing appropriate interventions can be arranged.Reference Association for Community Health Improvement.

Community Health Assessment and Improvement Planning is vital work for the future health of our community. The best plans may not be successful if the proper steps are not taken to ensure stakeholder support from the community. Establishing robust, trusting relationships with community stakeholders fosters a welcoming and inclusive environment, creating a stronger sense of joint ownership of the community health assessment (Association for Community Health Improvement, 2017).To be “fully engaged” with a community, on a formal or informal level, calls for a preparation and involvement. Such engagement means working with communities to truly assist them in public health awareness and education. This can be done through a variety of methods, whether it be through town hall meetings, focus group sessions, one-on-one interpersonal dialogues, or a long-term community intervention project (Frederick, 2013).The individuals included in this approach to engagement would be community leaders or board members of the city council, school board, chamber of commerce and local public health and healthcare leadership. Each individual would be represented in all phases of the engagement process including the identification of community cultural and economic factors that would shape the approach of improvement planning.  A one size fits all approach is not possible for the engagement approach in community assessment planning. The unique attributes and social dynamics that are represented in each community are far too different and require custom approaches to engage stakeholders in success.Association for Community Health Improvement.
