Determinants of Health (graded)
What makes some healthy and others ill? Healthy People 2020 identifies five
Determinants of Health that influence the health of individuals and
populations. Healthy People 2020 describes them this way as “a range of
personal, social, economic, and environmental factors that influence health
status are known as determinants of health” (U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services, 2014, About Determinants of Health, para 1. Determinants fall
into five categories, including: a) policy making, b) social factors, c) health
services, d) individual behavior, and e) biology and genetics.

Demographic and Epidemiological
Assessment (graded) For this discussion, you will collect assessment data about
your city or county. This post will include information about demographics
(general characteristics) and epidemiological data (disease or health behavior
rates) of your community. 1. Demographic data: Go online to the U.S. Census
Bureau at Obtain information about the demographic characteristics of the
population for your city or county of residence. You may have to look at county
data if your city is not listed. Collect a range of demographic data about age,
ethnicity, poverty levels, housing, and education. 2. Epidemiological data: Go
to your City or County Health Department website (search the Internet) or
County Health Rankings to discuss epidemiological data about your area.
Identify several priority health concerns for your area. 3. Identify several

Caring for Vulnerable
Populations (graded) Review the Week 3 Case Study that is found in Doc Sharing.
This case study focuses on a vulnerable young woman who is facing many risk
factors. Discuss several risk factors that may impact health outcomes for
vulnerable populations. Assurance is one of the three core functions of public
health. Find a resource in your community (other than WIC) that could assist
Mary during her pregnancy. Start by searching the internet for your local
health department’s website. What services do they provide for pregnant women,
those living in poverty, or those with mental health concerns? What about your
local welfare office? Do they provide prenatal or mental health services? Are
there any service organizations, crisis pregnancy centers, or churches
providing help for pregnant women or those experiencing mental health concerns?
(The Internet, your local newspaper, and the telephone book may also help you
locate resources) · Briefly describe the types of services that you found. ·
Choose one agency and assess this agency in terms of the 4 A’s. Is it
accessible, acceptable, affordable, or available for Mary or other pregnant
women that you case-manage? · Are there adequate resources for other vulnerable
populations in your community?

develop a community health nursing intervention and evaluation plan for a
community health problem that you identified in your community (described in
Milestone 2: Vulnerable Population Assessment). You willapply the components of
the nursing process to assist thisvulnerable population and develop a proposal
that could be presented to community leaders. Course Outcomes This assignment
enables the student to meet the following course outcomes. CO1: Apply
principles of nursing theory to the public health system by analyzing
determinants of health and the public health intervention wheel. (PO 1) CO3:

(the first two milestones) and identified one community health problem that a
nurse can impact. Now, review the scholarly literature or scholarly websites

organization in your communityto request approval for funding and support for
this intervention. (You are not required to implement the intervention or
present your PowerPoint, though you may want to consider implementing your
project in the future). Directions Watch the Milestone 3 tutorialby clicking
