For this Assignment, create an implementation plan for your public health program. In order to create your plan, you need to determine which setting is most appropriate for your public health program. You also need to consider your target population and the steps you would take to implement your program. For this Assignment, it will be helpful to review the “Implement” section of the MAP-IT Model (Wukitsch, 2012) to create your plan. a 4 -page and 5 references within 5 years APA format paper in which you do the following:
To study the growth of a population mathematically, we use the concept of exponential models. Generally speaking, if we want to predict the increase in the population at a certain period in time, we start by considering the current population and apply an assumed annual growth rate. For example, if the U.S. population in 2008 was 301 million and the annual growth rate was 0.9%, what would be the population in the year 2050? To solve this problem, we would use the following formula:P(1 + r)In this formula, P represents the initial population we are considering, r represents the annual growth rate expressed as a decimal and n is the number of years of growth. In this example, P = 301,000,000, r = 0.9% = 0.009 (remember that you must divide by 100 to convert from a percentage to a decimal), and n = 42 (the year 2050 minus the year 2008). Plugging these into the formula, we find:P(1 + r) = 301,000,000(1 + 0.009) = 301,000,000(1.009) = 301,000,000(1.457) = 438,557,000Therefore, the U.S. population is predicted to be 438,557,000 in the year 2050.Let’s consider the situation where we want to find out when the population will double. Let’s use this same example, but this time we want to find out when the doubling in population will occur assuming the same annual growth rate. We’ll set up the problem like the following:Double P = P(1 + r) P will be 301 million, Double P will be 602 million, r = 0.009, and we will be looking for n. Double P = P(1 + r) 602,000,000 = 301,000,000(1 + 0.009)Now, we will divide both sides by 301,000,000. This will give us the following:2 = (1.009)To solve for n, we need to invoke a special exponent property of logarithms. If we take the log of both sides of this equation, we can move exponent as shown below:log 2 = log (1.009) log 2 = n log (1.009)Now, divide both sides of the equation by log (1.009) to get:n = log 2 / log (1.009)Using the logarithm function of a calculator, this becomes:n = log 2/log (1.009) = 77.4Therefore, the U.S. population should double from 301 million to 602 million in 77.4 years assuming annual growth rate of 0.9 %.Now it is your turn:
You are a census officer in a newly democratic nation and you have been charged with using the census data from the table below to determine how 100 congressional seats should be divided among the 10 states of the union.Being a fan of United States history, you are familiar with the many methods of apportionment applied to this problem to achieve fair representation in the US House of Representatives. You decide that apportionment (chapter 11, sections 1-4 in your textbook) is the best approach to solving this problem, but need to compare several methods and then determine which is actually fair.You may perform your own calculations or use either the or the to assist you. You must show some calculations in your document to demonstrate that you know how to perform these tasks. Be sure to compile your work in a Word document and submit it to the
Although many people view evaluation as something that is done once a project is complete, evaluation must actually be planned for well before a project starts in order to be executed properly and effectively. As the business consultant Steven Covey (2004) advocated, one essential ingredient in any venture is to “begin with the end in mind” (p. 95). This assignment provides you the opportunity to plan Obesity projectt o facilitate effective evaluation in all its phases.Because an evaluation plan is largely about people as much as paper, considerations such as stakeholder participation and cultural and ethical ramifications should be taken into account in any evaluation plan. This is why organizations such as the American Evaluation Association have developed standards for evaluation that include cultural competence and ethical practices.submit a 5-page and 5 references within 5 years evaluation plan for your obesity project that includes the following:Your plan must demonstrate that you understand the following:

In this week’s Discussion, you analyzed leadership as a tool for implementing public policy. For this Assignment, you are asked to review a case study that presents a general challenge to implementing public policy. As a student of public policy, you should weigh which tools and practices may be most useful in addressing challenges related to the implementation of public policy. Before you begin the Assignment, think about which tools of democracy might use as a policy maker in the implementation of public policy in general.Policy makers may use a variety of means to help them implement public policy. Regulations, tax incentives, grants, and public-private partnerships are a few examples of tools and practices of democratic governance. Ideally, the tools selected for policy implementation are well suited for the task, but this is not always the case. Unfortunately, many public endeavors fail not because of bad policy but because of poor choice and implementation of tools and practices. The success or failure of public policy may depend greatly on the tools selected for implementation. Tools and practices that may be well suited for implementation in one policy area may lead to failure in another. Therefore, it is important that tools and practices are wisely chosen and appropriate for the policy area at hand.
