A summary
At least five references-only one of these references can be a website. I expect the other references to be from your course material readings (Larsen, Redman, and/or Sommers) or from scholarly journals.
Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.
Throughout this course, you will plan a health communication campaign. The first step in any planning process is identification of the problem. In this assignment, you will identify a public health problem or issue that you would like to address. You will focus on the problem and what you intend to accomplish with your program such as goals and objectives. You need not examine the content of the campaign at this point.
Using the online resources and the Internet, do the following:
- Identify a public health problem that interests you.
You will use this health problem to develop a health communication campaign, addressing different aspects in each module.
For this assignment, write a short paper on developing a health communication campaign addressing this health problem.
Include the following:
- Describe the health issue, giving details such as its origins and characteristics. NUR 405 Learning Team Reflection Childhood Obesity
- Give a brief history, including the background of the problem and the population groups it has most affected.
- State and explain the goals and objectives of the campaign. Focus on the behavioral and health outcomes for a specific population.
Give examples and scholarly references in support of your statements.
Write a 3–5-page paper in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.
Description
- Describe how you might apply the theory(ies) using other theory-based examples from the literature of interventions for this public health issue.
- If appropriate, could your study use a conceptual framework? If so, briefly explain how this conceptual framework could fit with your intervention.
- Provide a brief summary of your Scholar-Practitioner Project. NUR 405 Learning Team Reflection Childhood Obesity
Please note you will have to do the replies for this course work This is a part of the modules.
This is a part of of the In this Discussion, you will locate peer-reviewed articles that adopt a different research study approach/design; qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods, to address the same public health issue. You will analyze the studies you find in terms of the research problem, theoretical/conceptual framework(s) and/or model(s) used, research question(s), and data collection/analysis methods, then evaluate research design alignment.

Note: You are required to post at least 4 responses to this Discussion across the two weeks.
To Prepare
- Select a public health issue on which to focus your search for peer-reviewed articles.
- Search the Walden Library to locate three peer-reviewed articles, less than five years old, that adopt a different research study approach/design, but which address the same public health issue. NUR 405 Learning Team Reflection Childhood Obesity
- one qualitative
- one quantitative
- one mixed methods
- Post your completed Table 1 Research Article Analysis. Include the following:
- Public Health Issue
- Briefly describe the public health issue on which you have focused your search for peer-reviewed articles.
- Qualitative Research
- Identify the title, research problem, theoretical/conceptual framework and/or model, research question(s), data collection, and data analysis methods.
- Quantitative Research
- Identify the title, research problem, theoretical/conceptual framework and/or model, research question(s), data collection, and data analysis methods.
- Mixed Methods Research
- Identify the title, research problem, theoretical/conceptual framework and/or model, research question(s), data collection, and data analysis methods. NUR 405 Learning Team Reflection Childhood Obesity
Support your response by properly citing/referencing the three peer-reviewed articles using the APA 7th edition.
Note: For this Discussion, you are required to complete your initial post before you will be able to view and respond to your peers’ postings.

By Day 6 of Week 1
Respond to at least 4 posts from peers in a substantive way. In addition, respond to all instructor queries. In your response, address the following:
- Review the analysis of peer-reviewed articles posted by peers, and provide constructive feedback, evaluating the alignment among theoretical/conceptual frameworks and/or models, the research question, data collection, and data analysis methods (qualitative, quantitative, mixed). It may help to consider the following questions:
- Is there a logical progression from the research problem to the purpose of the study? NUR 405 Learning Team Reflection Childhood Obesity
- Does the identified framework ground the investigation in the stated research problem?
- Do the research problem and framework/model align with the research questions? NUR 405 Learning Team Reflection Childhood Obesity
- Does each research question address the research problem?
- Does each research question align with data collection and data analysis methods?
- Provide examples of alternative theoretical/conceptual frameworks and/or models, research questions, data collection and data analysis methods to address the research problems identified in the peer-reviewed articles analyzed by your peers. Justify your selection.
Support your response with at least one peer-reviewed article, less than five years old. Properly cite/reference using the APA 7th edition.
