UncategorizedWhy I want you to do it: In order to gain support for a new health education/promotion program, health educators need to provide justification for the program. The tool that program planners use to do this is the program rationale. You will gain valuable experience in writing a program rationale to address HIV and/or substance use.
How to do it: When writing the rationale, identify the health problem from both a global and local perspective. Explain both national and state data. Then, propose a solution to the problem. Use results of evidence-based practice (prior successful programs) to create your own harm reduction solution.
Examples:
Detailed Instructions
Paragraph 1: Start off with a global (national) and then local (Phoenix, AZ) perspective of the health problem. Share prevalence and incidence data. Cite your source.
Paragraph 2: List other evidence-based practices (other programs) already in place in Phoenix to help address the health problem. If you cannot find Phoenix programs for your health problem, list and briefly describe national programs.
Paragraph 3: Explain your idea for a new program in Phoenix that addresses the health problem. Describe your idea in detail. Explain who this program is for (tailor it to a specific audience: college freshmen, inmates, sex workers, etc).
Include a References Page in APA format.

Using the Argosy University online library resources and the assigned readings for this module, complete the following:
Identify a health issue that is linked with social or economic disadvantages.
Examine the group or groups that have been adversely affected by these disadvantages. Provide data and other information to demonstrate the extent of the problem.
Broadly review the literature on health disparities, and this condition specifically, to answer the following questions:
What programs, policies, and social conditions may have contributed to the health inequity?
What changes have been made in programs, policies, or social conditions to promote health equity for this health issue? What additional changes do you suggest?
Your final product will be a MS Word document of approximately 5–7 pages. You should utilize at least 3 scholarly sources beyond the course readings in your research. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Your paper should be written in a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources; and display accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

UncategorizedIn this time of crisis as we fight the Coronavirus COVID-19, we find that strategic effective communication is essential. We have all been receiving updates from the university, our condo associations, cities, or employers that contain important information that is imperative for everyone to understand. These communications are carefully written. The information, length, and mode of delivery have been carefully planned and organized.

HOW DOES THE MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONAL WORKING WITH ADDICTION PREPARE AND SUPPORT THE MENTAL HEALTH CARE TEAM AND THE CLIENT?
UncategorizedControversy surrounding the treatment of substance abuse disorders with other substances extends from the most basic to the philosophical. Some health care providers focus on the removal of all substances to address the addiction and argue that complete abstinence is the only real option. They believe that no medications should be given (except to save one’s life) during treatment for substance abuse. Many mental health professionals, particularly in America, hold these views. In contrast to removing all substances, others focus on the ability of the client to function. Many programs support the belief that addicts can live normal lives with controlled use of substances.
How do these opposing views in the treatment of addiction clients affect the addiction mental health practice? How does the mental health professional working with addiction prepare and support the mental health care team and the client? How do programs like the 12-step Narcotics Anonymous program compare with other approaches as far as research results?
For this Discussion, select a medication used in treating substance abuse disorders. Then, conduct a search for any controversy surrounding the use of this medication in treating substance abuse disorders and prepare to defend its use.
Post
A description of the major actions, intended effects, and side effects of your selected medication.
Explain controversy surrounding the use of this medication in treating substance abuse disorders.
Defend the effective use of this medication and support your defense with evidence from the Learning Resources or from your personal research.
