This will introduce a potential health program at my local university (Kentucky Wesleyan College) to improve the professor’s daily activity. Components will include gym memberships to all employees, activity trackers and incentives given when certain activity levels are reached, partnership with current insurance provider (Anthem Health), and/or fitness classes offered on-campus during lunch hours by current Exercise Science students.
The textbook used for this class is McKenzie J., F., Neiger, B.L., and Thackeray, R. (2017). Planning, Implementing and Evaluating Health Promotion Programs: A Primer 7 edition. Pearson Ed.
For this particular assignment, develop a 3 to 4-page introduction/background on your topic. Ideally, you will create an annotated bibliography before beginning the writing process. The literature review serves as a rationale for your health promotion program project. It will need to convey the greater health concern link raised by your project and include national data when possible. For example, if you want to implement a physical activity program for children, you could link it to obesity, while also emphasizing childhood obesity rates. In addition, please highlight what, if any, programming has been done in the past. You should also mention if there is little or no research on your topic area. For example, there is little research on the physical activity of premature infants, which makes this a unique intervention model. In this case, you would need to establish the rationale in order to highlight the research that shows premature infants are more likely to become obese. You need the reader to understand why your topic is important and that your approach will work. The literature review should conclude with a concise statement of purpose. Make sure the majority of your statements are supported by research; this shows the audience that you have thoroughly investigated the problem and potential solutions and are basing this on research and not your opinions or feelings. The paper must be at least 2-4 pages in length, APA formatted, 12 point, Times New Roman, and double-spaced.
*Please do not refer to your program ideas, I do not want to hear about your program yet. In this assignment, you are setting up the justification.
I have attached a rough draft of the annotated bibliography for this program, as well as discussion posts written by me about this program.
Also, I have attached an example of how this should be written and expectations needed to complete it.
