Assignment 3
Developing and Implementing an Action Plan (35%)
Assignment No. 2 Filipino Community in Calgary
Based on your understanding of your community and the issue(s) identified in the community assessment, you can now put together much of what you have learned across the whole course to design a hypothetical intervention to address the community health issue.
Describe a participatory approach to addressing the community issue(s) identified in Assignment 2 in a paper of no more than 3000 words (about 10-12 double-spaced pages, excluding appendices), using Times New Roman 12 point font. Use the APA Style Guide to format your paper, and be sure to include citations and a reference list.
Address the following points in your paper, and where warranted, include research evidence (citations) to support your answers.
Briefly summarize the community issue(s) identified in the previous assignments.
Describe the context and the determinants of the problem in enough detail so that it is possible to see both the impacts and root causes of the problem.
Building on your understanding of community development, and what a community intervention must look like, design and describe the steps and processes of a participatory intervention that will address the community problem you have described.
Integrate the use of at least five of the principles of community development.
Apply critical thinking principles to analyse the results of the community development approach you use. Discuss what model you think your approach most closely resembles, and describe the strengths and weaknesses of that model. What worked well and what didn’t work well? What would you change if you had to do it again?
Include references to the course readings and at least three other sources from the literature to support your work.
