Can you submit it by tomarrow? It has to be based on the interview provided in discussion. Assignment instructions are also stated below.

Below is the Discussion

Essential Services Personal Interview

Select a population (maternal, infant, child, adolescent, young adults, older adults, elderly) and research the most critical health issues affecting this population.

• Describe the most critical health issues affecting your selected population.
• Describe at least three public health/community services that exist in your own community to address these issues.
• Contact one of these services’ directors (or representative) and inquire about the agency’s effectiveness by asking these questions:
  • Do you feel your organization has made a difference?
  • What are your main barriers and how are the barriers to services being addressed?
  • What are the ethical considerations of your services and how are they addressed?
  • How is your organization funded?
  • What concerns are still unmet in your opinion? Are these areas that will be addressed in the future?
  • What role does your organization play in the overall public health arena?
• Present a brief overview of the organization, including its mission and goals/objectives, and then post your interview notes in the discussion forum
• Your original post must contain at least one additional scholarly source in addition to the textbook. 

 ANSWER 1

The issue that I chose for my critical health issue is family planning and teenage pregnancies.  For years, it seemed that everywhere I turned there were young teenage girls that were pregnant surrounding me.  Currently, “the U.S. still has a teen birthrate of 31.2 per 1,000 teens, nearly one-and-a-half times the rate in the United Kingdom, which has one of the highest rates in Western Europe (Vestal, 2015, para. 1). I believe that prevention programs are the best method to reduce the high teenage pregnancy rates.  The World Health Organization stated that, “family planning is a method for helping people to have the desired number of children and for spacing births” (as cited in Friis, et al., 2013, 5.2, para. 2).  Healthy People 2020 set their goal for family planning to improve the spacing and planning of pregnancy, but also to prevent unwanted pregnancies (Friis, et al., 2013).

Covenant House has on-site counselors who help teen moms work on building confidence and gain independence.  Moms can attend their workshops that teach them various parenting skills and the importance for them and their children to live healthy lives.  The Covenant House also provides on-site childcare so that these have the capability to complete school and have a job (www.covenanthouse.org).

The Lion Heart Foundation has a teen parenting program known as Power Source Parenting, which is a progressive program that is intended to provide teen parents who are at risk with the skills and assistance they require for them to become caring and effective parents.  This works off of deep-rooted interventions such as Mindfulness Training and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (www.lionheart.org).

The Planned Parenthood program provides women with affordable and accessible general healthcare assistance of which the majority is preventative.  This includes diabetes screening, anemia testing, cholesterol screening, and other preventative care. This program is ultimately, a trustworthy “health care provider, an informed educator, a passionate advocate, and a global partner helping similar organizations around the world”, while also offering “vital reproductive health care, sex education, and information to millions of women, men, and young people worldwide” (Planned Parenthood, 2014, para. 2).  They work towards preventing unplanned pregnancies and the spreading of sexually transmitted diseases.  For almost 100 years, they have worked vigorously towards promoting women’s well-being and health, and making informed decisions about family planning, sex, and health (Planned Parenthood, 2014).

I was unsuccessful in contacting a director for this organization; however, I was able to speak with a representative, Kathleen, who was able to provide me with the answers to the following questions:

Do you feel your organization has made a difference?

Kathleen: Yes, I definitely believe that our organization has made a huge impact with providing birth control methods and medical services to teenage girls.

What are your main barriers and how are the barriers to services being addressed?

Kathleen: Some of the barriers that we encounter are getting the word out about our services to girls especially in rural areas.  Some girls are not always able to find transportation to our locations, which can also be a barrier.

What are the ethical considerations of your services and how are they addressed?

Kathleen: The biggest ethical consideration that involves our services is providing medical services to pregnant minors who do not want their parents involved.  Unfortunately, in some cases such as with abortions, the parent or guardian does have to be informed but in some states, their consent is not mandatory.

How is your organization funded?

Kathleen: We receive a lot of our funding from various forms of donations and fundraising efforts. 

What concerns are still unmet in your opinion? Are these areas that will be addressed in the future?

Kathleen: Our greatest concern is bringing awareness to the services that we provide. To this day, I am still surprised at how many people tell me that they did not know about the many services we provide, but we are constantly working on different ways to get the word out to the communities.

What role does your organization play in the overall public health arena? 

Kathleen: Our organization has branched out globally.  We have Planned Parenthood Global, which provides a wide variety of medical services to developing countries around the world.

Interview Analysis

Based on your interview notes from this week’s discussion activity, analyze the epidemiological data surrounding the health issue that your agency addresses. Compare the epidemiological data with the information provided by the agency director/representative by addressing the following points:

• How do the epidemiological data and the information provided by the agency director/representative differ?  How are they similar?
• Based on the epidemiological information collected, what is the true effect that the agency is having on your community?
• Appraise the various methods that should be employed to help the agency improve its effectiveness.
• Analyze the 10 Essential Services of Public Health and how they are (or are not) wrapped into the service provided by this agency.

Epidemiological data consists of statistical information on your population obtained through primary sources, which are typically research studies or government survey information (such as those provided by the CDC or health department).  Utilize the Ashford University Library and/or government websites to locate statistics that relate to your organization.  For example, if you interviewed someone from an organization that focused on childhood obesity, you would locate research studies that provided statistical results for your county, region, or state to illustrate what was actually occurring in your area regarding childhood obesity.  Once you have this data, compare it with the information provided by the agency director or representative that you interviewed.  In some cases, you may only be able to find actual state statistics, but your organization may have provided only local data.  This is okay; just make sure you note this in your paper and through critical thinking, infer how this might influence the effectiveness of your organization’s work.  

Your paper should be three to four pages in length, excluding the title and reference pages, and formatted according to APA style guidelines as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. Visit the Ashford University Library to locate a minimum of two scholarly sources that support your main ideas. Also, use surveillance information that was discussed as part of the epidemiology process.
