Purpose of Assessment 2

In this assessment, you take the health issue you identified in Assessment 1 and design a specific, evidence-based intervention to address it. This is your blueprint for the actual health promotion activity you’ll implement later in Assessment 3.

Core Requirements

Your plan should:

1. Identify the Health Issue & Target Population

   • Briefly restate the problem NURS FPX from Assessment 1 (e.g., type 2 diabetes prevention in middle-aged adults).

   • Provide a short summary of the target audience’s demographics, needs, and barriers to health.

2. Define Your Health Goals & Objectives

   • Goal = Broad, overarching aim of your intervention.
     Example: “Reduce the incidence of obesity-related complications in adults aged 40–60.”

   • Objectives = Specific, measurable steps toward the goal.
     Example: “By the end of the 6-week program, participants will demonstrate a 20% increase in healthy meal planning skills.”

3. Describe the Intervention

   • Type of Intervention: Education session, screening event, skills workshop, community outreach, etc.

   • Format & Delivery: In-person, online, group class, one-on-one coaching.

   • Content: Summarize key educational messages, skills, or resources you’ll provide.

   • Resources Needed: Materials, space, equipment, staff.

   • Length & Frequency: How long each session lasts and how often you’ll meet.

4. Incorporate Evidence-Based Practices

   • Support your plan with 3–5 scholarly sources showing that the chosen intervention is effective for similar populations.

   • Use current research (within 5 years).

5. Address Cultural & Ethical Considerations

   • Adapt materials for language, literacy, and cultural relevance.

   • Ensure inclusivity and accessibility.

   • Discuss ethical obligations (confidentiality, informed consent, respectful care).

6. Set an Evaluation Plan

   • Describe how you will measure success.

   • Use both process measures (e.g., number of attendees, completion rates) and outcome measures (e.g., changes in knowledge, behaviors, biometric data).

   • Include a short timeline for data collection and analysis.

✅ Pro Tip: If you write this with Assessments 3–5 in mind, you can reuse large sections later (especially the target population, objectives, and intervention description) to save time.

If you want, I can draft you a ready-to-fill APA template for NURS FPX 4015 Assessment 2 so you can plug in your health topic and data directly. That way, you’ll have a polished submission framework. Would you like me to create that for you?
