Identify a community that is being affected by the public health issue that your group is
addressing (remember that while you will all be working on the same health issue within your
small group, you will be developing your own intervention approach). You do not have to
identify specific partners of your coalition, but you should be able to briefly describe your
community (city, county, or other geographic location). This will allow you to ground your
proposal within the demographic and environmental factors unique to your community that
may influence your intervention proposal.
Initial Post:
Title your initial post with your health issue and community (e.g., Diabetes prevention in
Wyoming County, WV). Briefly describe your community, including information regarding the
physical environment (rural/urban, unique characteristics) and demographics (race/ethnicity,
SES, etc.), and the impact of your health issue within the community.
Based on the readings and lectures this week, describe how you would identify stakeholders
within your community and begin to build partnerships. How will you include the needs and
perspectives of multiple members within the community coalition? Be specific in the strategies
you propose to both identify and include a variety of stakeholders in your coalition.

It probably feels like we just started our learning in this class, but this week we’re going to
begin planning for our final paper. To begin, start thinking about a topic for our final persuasive
essay. You learned about persuasive writing during this week’s lecture – and we’ll get into
more details about the essay in the coming weeks – but for now, let’s focus on two areas:
1. Select a topic for this essay about which you are passionate. Click on the link for a list of
approved topics.
2. Locate five sources that will be helpful in the research of your final paper. You’re going to
submit these sources in the form of an annotated bibliography. “Annotation” is another word
for “notes.” Using APA formatting, write the name of the source. Directly below the source,
write an annotation of approximately 100-125 words.
