Module One Short Essay

I chose to focus my studies on the Racial and Ethnic Applications to Community Health (REACH) Program. This program on the CDC website is located under the Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Obesity tab. Equality in all facets concerning race and ethnicity is fundamental within public health.

As a Human Resources Lead, equality in the realm of ethnicity and race. Others can easily propound it negatively and positively. Furthermore, I will be viewing Dekalb County, Georgia, researching their Community Health Involvement Plan (CHIP) that corresponds with the REACH program. The logic model of my program is:

Input: Program sponsored by CDC
Activities: Plan, implement, and evaluate
Outputs: oversee those activities are running as planned
Outcomes: Guarantee that African Americans and Hispanics are benefitting from the program
Impacts: Ensuring the steps above are making a positive and influential effect

The CHIP emphasizes Literacy, Economic Development, and Healthy Environments (Georgia Department of Public Health: North Central Health District, 2020). Every person who resides in Dekalb County, Georgia, is included in the target population concentrated through equity, respect, and service.

Dekalb county addresses service as working to meet the requirements of the county. Equity is handled by wanting a high level of health for all citizens. Respect is focused on making sure that all citizens know that their opinion matters. The LEAD DeKalb initiative of the DeKalb County Board of Health is improving the health of African Americans by increasing access to healthier foods at community venues through mobile markets and improved voucher incentive programs;

establishing lactation support services; establishing new or improved pedestrian and bicycle transportation systems; connecting the priority population to appropriate and locally available health programs; expanding the use of health professionals to increase referrals (CDC, n.d.).

While researching this program, I hope to establish that health disparities can and will be foregone with the proper funding. The audience I would like to target is the CDC governmental representatives and board members. The main objective for conducting this evaluation will be to define if there is an actual disparity and if the program is working to correct them.

The importance of ending health gaps state by the CDC, “A core principle of public health is that every person should be able to reach their full health potential. CDC seeks to remove barriers to health caused by race or ethnicity, education, income, location, or other social factors” (CDC, n.d.).

Evaluation Questions: Specify 3–5 Evaluation Questions That Will Be the Focus of Your Program Evaluation Plan

The multiple questions focused upon in our program evaluation plan are pretty exciting and very important. The first and foremost question that will be explored and focused upon in this program evaluation plan is, do the people of color that make up the 45% of the population present in the district know about the CDC health guidelines for prevention and control of the spread of the COVID-19 disease (CDC 2021).

The second question under focus is assessing and determining the level of awareness present in the community and linking it with the program`s stage of development in the community. If there is less awareness, the program needs to start from the basics, and awareness needs to be provided from the fundamental level. However, suppose it is determined that a good part of the population has gained understanding regarding the matter. In that case, the later program stages of development can be said to be worked upon.

While the third and the last question that will be stressed upon in this program evaluation plan is whether all the resources required to successfully conduct the program will be available in the community or not. The various constraints like the language barriers, cultural barriers, and other health and technology-related barriers that can cause limitations in the progress, or the development and the implementation of the program will also be determined and evaluated.

The access the people have to the media and technology, how these members of the community can be reached out too, and the availability of the finances will also be focused upon in this paper as it will help in answering the question regarding the hurdles or constraints that are present (Samantha, 2020).
