Description

Purpose: The student will be able to locate and utilize demographic and epidemiological data to identify the need for a population health intervention.
Background: According to Healthy People 2020 data (2020), there are more than 19 million new cases of Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) every year, most of which are found in 15-24 year olds. There has been no significant increase in the number of young adults seeking Reproductive and Sexual Health Services since 2006 (U.S. DHHS, 2020).
Situation: You are the nurse case manager for Berkeley and Jefferson County Health Departments and are responsible for allocating resources for STI education and services within these counties. The Health Department received a federal grant for additional services in these counties for STI education and testing. You are tasked with a needs assessment of these communities to help guide allocation of funding and program planning. The needs assessment should describe the target population’s characteristics and identify those most at risk. The population is 15-24 year old females living in Berkeley and Jefferson counties.
Information to include in the Needs Assessment includes:
1. Define Sexually Transmitted Infection.
2. Describe the geographical area of the target population.
3. Describe relevant demographic data.
4. Describe relevant epidemiological data (US, WV state and county-specific statistics).
5. List appropriate Healthy People 2020 goals and Healthy People 2010 data.
6. Interpret and draw conclusions from the data, including comparing WV to US national data for STIs.
7. Make recommendations for fund allocation and education based on the priority needs of the community.
General Directions:
1. The paper should be a maximum of 5 pages of narrative, in addition to a title page and reference page.
2. The assignment should be completed using APA Format.

Describe one internal and one external method for the dissemination of your EBP project results. For example, an internal method may be the hospital board, and an external method may be a professional nursing organization. Discuss why it is important to report your results to both of these groups. How will your communication strategies change for each group?

Sustaining change can be difficult, as there are many variables that can affect implementation. One critical component of EBP is to ensure that practice change is part of an organization’s culture so it will continue to impact outcomes over time. Name two potential barriers that may prevent your EBP change proposal from continuing to obtain the same desired results 6 months to a year from now, and your strategies for overcoming these barriers.

Epidemiology Paper Requirements
Describe the chosen communicable disease, including causes, symptoms, mode of transmission, complications, treatment, and the demographic of interest (mortality, morbidity, incidence, and prevalence). Is this a reportable disease? If so, provide details about reporting time, whom to report to, etc.
Describe the social determinants of health and explain how those factors contribute to the development of this disease.
Discuss the epidemiologic triangle as it relates to the communicable disease you have selected. Include the host factors, agent factors (presence or absence), and environmental factors. Are there any special considerations or notifications for the community, schools, or general population?
Explain the role of the community health nurse (case finding, reporting, data collection, data analysis, and follow-up) and why demographic data are necessary to the health of the community.
Identify at least one national agency or organization that addresses the communicable disease chosen and describe how the organizations contribute to resolving or reducing the impact of disease.
Discuss a global implication of the disease. How is this addressed in other countries or cultures? Is this disease endemic to a particular area? Provide an example.
A minimum of three peer-reviewed or professional references is required.
Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.
