Developing a Health Behavior Change Intervention

Think about the program you’re proposing, the target population and its specific needs, and how you would achieve implementation and uptake, the latter of which will be addressed in future assignments.

In approximately 2.5 pages, address the following:

• Introduction: Briefly describe the purpose of your proposed project (0.5-page maximum)
• Needs Assessment: Describe the target population and the need that the program addresses. Provide ample statistics and references to existing literature supporting the need for the program. Discuss existing resources (or lack thereof) and how your program will fill a specific gap/need. Tables and figures are welcome. Attach a separate reference page at the end of the document.
