Discussion 5

Select a health education program goal. It can be chosen on any topic from the literature or on the internet.

Assess the goal on the following criteria as excerpted from the Program Planning document (CDC, 2013, p. 14):

Does it specify an expected program effect in reducing a health problem?
Is a subgroup or segment of the population identified?
Is it a declarative statement?
Is it concise?
Is it easily understood?
Is it stated in positive terms or in terms of a decrease in health risk behaviors or adverse health outcomes?
What do you conclude about this goal?

Please rewrite the goal to meet the criteria as necessary.
