You will have an “inside” look into the organization of a local health department and gain insight into the responsibilities of the people working in the core areas of public and community health. You will also become familiar with two of the greatest examples of public health in action today, the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Healthy People 2020 initiative. You will gain insight into health-related goals that have been developed to address the identified needs of communities on a local and global scale.

By Day 7

Review the Vlogs posted by your peers, and consider the list of Discussion prompts, below. Use them to begin discussing the various interventions that were described in the Community Health Intervention Vlogs by your colleagues. You must respond to your first peerby Day 7and a total of at least three peersby Day 14to receive engagement credit.
You may discuss:

• Other stakeholders (non-public health/health education) who might be involved in the intervention
• Additional goal(s)—WHO Millennium or Healthy People 2020)—that would be or are being addressed by the intervention
• Additional public health essential services that would be or are being addressed by the intervention
• Barriers or challenges that might be faced by the target population/community in terms of the WHO Millennium goal(s) or Healthy People 2020 goal(s) being achieved
• Alternative interventions that may address the same goal in the same population described
• The differences between local, state, and federal systems with respect to their responsibilities and workforce.
• Additional services that could be added to the intervention to address the other levels of prevention (primary, secondary, or tertiary prevention). For example, if your intervention addresses secondary prevention, what could be added to also address primary or tertiary prevention.
