Culturally Competent Planning
For this assignment, select a vulnerable population in your community and explain how health care can be affected by cultural, ethnic, and social backgrounds. Building on the skills that you practiced in your Unit 6 assignment, create a plan to promote health and wellness within your chosen population, using (and correctly citing) information from this week’s study activities and any additional resources that you find on your own as you research your chosen population. Paper length: 6-7 pages.
For the population, you can use Denver, and what risks, at-risk population we have. Inflation of the housing market, and not being compensated for the cost of living is just an example…but you’ll have to do a little research for our at-risk populations.
For your assignment:
- Identify your population, and explain why this specific population within your community qualifies as at-risk.
- Identify health concerns for this at-risk population.
- Identify existing resources in your community that serve and promote health for this specific underserved, at-risk population.
- Identify high-quality electronic sources of health care information to address the needs of your chosen population.
- Create an evidence-based plan to promote health and wellness in this at-risk population.
- Explain how culture, ethnicity, and social background may affect your health care plan and what strategies you would put in place to address these concerns.
- Follow the guidelines of APA writing style, using correct grammar, punctuation, and mechanics. Evaluate your work by reviewing it for clarity and logic.
- Correctly format citations (in-text and in your Reference list) using APA style.
