Proposal for a Community Health Intervention and Annotated Bibliography

For this Final Project, you develop a proposal for an intervention that addresses a public health problem identified in a particular community or one that is relevant to your own Public Health research and practice interests.

Project Instructions 

To complete this Final Project, you work with your instructor to identify a pressing Public Health issue relevant to your community and/or personal research and professional practice interests. 

The proposal can be for developing a program, an intervention or a research study.

The Project will be completed in a format consisting of the following components:

The manuscript section of your Final Project must include the following components:

Include in the annotation a brief description of how you plan to use each source (e.g., to provide statistics for the problem).
