Students will synthesize course knowledge into a community-based intervention for the self-management of chronic disease. Students will apply the steps of program planning to the knowledge they have gained in regard to the disease process, cultural aspects of the target population, and behavior change theory to design an intervention. The chosen intervention must show knowledge of the disease process, demonstrate cultural considerations relevant to the target population, and show evidence of the behavioral change theory and program planning model used.
Module Objectives:
Integrate knowledge relating to chronic disease, cultural competence, behavior change theory, and program planning models to develop an intervention intended to enhance self-management behaviors for a chronic disease process.
