You have been tasked with creating a public service announcement (PSA) that will inform and encourage members of a specific population group to address one of the major health concerns facing this population group. You may choose a group with intersecting identities (i.e., Hispanic women, Asian men, African American children, etc) and you may choose a specific group within a population (i.e., Puerto Ricans, Cambodians, etc.). Research the health needs of your particular group. Consider questions such as: Are they more susceptible to HIV/AIDS? Is domestic violence a top concern? Are people in your chosen population group more likely to be obese or have diabetes? Are too many people in this group smoking? These are not the only questions you may ask but are given here to help prime your thinking.You may focus your research on a specific geographic area in the US, such as a state, county, or city. Use local data sources, such as data from the state or district health departments. Local advocacy groups typically have data you can use as well. You may also use data from national sources such as the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey (BRFSS) or the National Child Health Survey (NCHS). Use these data sources to identify onehealth concern facing your population group. Create a one-page flyer or infographic that identifies the population group of your choice, one of the top health concerns this population faces, related risk factors, and steps that this population could take to reduce their risk or to manage the health issue, such as resources they can access in their area.Also, create three social media posts that you would use as a part of a social media campaign targeting your chosen group. Websites such as www.canva.comcan help you design these materials through their templates. For the infographic, use APA format for your references in footnotes or endnotes. Please number your in-text citations instead of using parenthetical citations on your infographic. Then, write an essay describing your population group, the health concern you chose to focus on, and how you made decisions in designing your infographic and social media content. Consider the role of theory in helping you think about how your social media posts or infographic could educate your particular population group. For example, did the Stages of Change model help you think about where most of your targeted group may be in understanding the health concern or in thinking about making a change? What steps didyou take to find data on your population group? Describe at least two local (such as in the city your chosen population group) resources that people can use to address the health concern. Consider the availability of resources for your population group. Do you think there are too few resources for this group that reflects their culture or are people in this group able to access culturally-relevant resources pretty easily? This essay should be about 1000-1500 words, double-spaced. Use APA format for citations and your reference list. You may use parenthetical citations, not footnotes or endnotes, in the essay. Here’s asimplified example to help you think through this project:You decided to focus on Hispanic women living in Washington, DC. One health concern in this population is cervical cancer. Some risk factors for cervical cancer include lack of prevention screenings, smoking, and sexually transmitted infections. Some steps Hispanic women can take is participating in free screening opportunities, practicing safe sex, and quitting smoking ornever starting smoking. Some resources in DC that are available include the DC Department of Health and La Clínica del Pueblo.

Learning Goal: I’m working on a writing discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.There are 3 student discussion boards. Please respond to each individually. I will also upload the graph. 1. The graph shows that the student has enough days to find the trend and the
means. According to data that was collected from 2/9 to 2/18 it shows the current
mean at 44% and the trend is decelerating. The student’s criteria for targeted
skill is at 80% for 3 consecutive days. The student has not met their targeted
skill. Additionally, prior data showed that the student’s mean was at 34% and was
at a flat, and even though the mean appears to have accelerated to 44%, the
trend is decelerating, which means the student needs modifications to improve
motivation by reinforcing stimulus. This occur with maybe giving him a break in
between each response. (e.g. write name, take a 2 minute break or write name
give treat or candy that he likes to keep him motivated to work.
Thanks,
K 2.Hi All,
I reviewed the data above for our student, Jason Jones. (funny, I have a friend with that
name).
Data: there is sufficient data for this student/goal as there is 8 data points.
Breaks: student was absent for a few days, but there were no breaks for more than 2
days.
Mean: 44%
Trend: Decelerating – see attached photo for drawing of trend.
Mastered: student has not mastered this goal. criteria is 80% for 3 consecutive days.
Progress: student has made some progress with this goal.
Decision: no change. continue with current plan. I chose this because the mean did
increase, even though only by 10% and in the first set of data and the note from 2/9 it
states to “continue with increased motivation”. Motivation was already targeted.
*I will attach my trend line photo shortly. Scanner is down*
S 3. Hello all!
I initially miscalculated the mean and trend line because I was counting February 9th as
a data point for the second decision. After further analysis however, I realized my
mistake and corrected my trend line as can be seen in the attached pdf.
The graph meets the prerequisite skills
Sufficient Data: Yes, there are 8 data points, surpassing the minimum required and
allowing for the 8 opportunities to respond. Additionally, the task was set at 20 steps,
surpassing the minimum of 8 steps.
Data breaks: No, a data break constitutes four or more consecutive days. (there is a
break for holiday and student absence, but that does not constitute a break in data)
Progress made: yes, progress seems to be variable when looking at the various data
points and there was an increase of 10% in the mean
Mastery: No, mastery was set at 80% independence for 3 consecutive days, which was
not achieved.
Mean: 44%
Trend Line: Deceleratiing
Decision: The above information would lead me to conclude that there is a motivation
problem occurring and that we must improve motivation through reinforcement. This
instructional change decision was made because the 10% increase in mean indicate
that some progress has been taking place, therefore not making it possible to
categorize this under the inadequate or no progress decisions.
Specific verbal praise is identified as the reinforcer, but perhaps is not occurring with
fidelity or is simply not reinforcing for Jason. It also appears that he only gets specific
verbal praise, thinned for generalization, only for independent responses. My decision
would be to increase reinforcement for each step, regardless of the prompt level used to
correctly complete each step.
I’m interested to read what you all have come up with, I definitely had tons of ideas on
what type of decision and the justification I would provide for each.

we read about the basic study of gangs, and issues associated with this, including defining gangs and some of popular wisdom and myths of gangs. As I asked you to do in the powerpoint and in the lecture, what are some of these pieces of popular wisdom and myth?Beyond that, what do you think about street gangs? Why are you interested in them? How does what we have read so far jive with what you know about gangs?Please ensure that both your original AND response post to another student are substantive (not just “I agree with XX point”) contributions to earn full credit. respond for :1. A majority of the population is prioritized with a stereotypical point of view concerning gangs because of objectives in the media and television. There’s multiple myths that consider gang members and groups to be purely focused on committing crimes, drugs, guns, and so on. These members are perceived as criminals since they “rebel” and don’t follow the rules of society ethically or legally. Although this may be the case for certain groups, gangs thoroughly go into much more detail than what it publicized. Things like economic disadvantages, limited opportunity, single parent households, and racial inequality can be a cause as to why individuals associate within gang doings. The list goes on and on behind the reasonings of relation as a gang member. Some popular wisdom upon gangs affiliate with their particular elements such as how many people are in the group itself, their slang, the color of their clothing, where they locate their territory, and what crimes they participate in. Overall, it’s evident even in the publics view, that the more disproportionate individuals seem more prone to part of a gang. I personally believe street gangs are much more complex and intricate than what simply meets the eye. I constantly try to watch credible crime shows, documentaries, and interviews that kind of give me a more realistic view of the criminal justice system. Moreover, I’ve seen gang related crimes occur and just how substantial gang groups can be throughout the country. I’ve taken a majority of different criminology courses so far but I’m very excited about this one in particular since I’m not knowledgeable about gangs as much as I would like to be! The readings this week essentially proved the fact that gang integration happens for a majority of different reasons that can be explained through individual backgrounds and gang-specific theories.2. Some of the pieces of popular wisdom/myths is that gangs are made up of mostly males who are of either African American/Hispanic origins and that if you see a group of men who are wearing baggy clothes and hanging around in the streets, people automatically think that they must be a part of a gang and that they are “waiting to prey on some innocent bystander”.Before reading the chapters, all of the knowledge that I had about gangs were strictly from movies and documentaries. I’ve always been interested in street gangs specifically and how/why they were formed. The reason that I am interested is because I think that the whole psychological and sociological aspects of wanting to join and participating in a gang are interesting because it is something that I have never experienced, so I want to learn all of the nitty gritty details of how people find themselves participating in gang activity. After reading the chapters, I realized that there are a lot of factors that play into gang affiliations such as similar socio-economic statuses, political beliefs, ethnicities, or if they just happen to live in the same neighborhood and NOT because they are a bunch of troubled individuals who want to cause needless violence.

Chapter Application Assignment
Introduction

The first (subheading: level-two heading) paragraph should provide a brief background or history of the topic, thesis (or purpose) statement, and an outline on each topic that will be discussed in the paper.

Synthesis of the Topic

The next (subheading: level-two heading) paragraph you should provide a synthesis of a specific topic that you have gleaned (e.g., patterns and trends) from your reading. Remember, peer-reviewed citations should be used to help with critical analysis and synthesis of the literature. The textbook can be used in this section. Although if there is an opportunity to use scholarly research always integrate with the textbook.

How the Topic Applies to Psychology and the Legal system

The next (subheading: level-two heading) paragraph should provide a discussion on how the chapter information applies to issues in psychology and the legal systems. Remember to use, peer-reviewed citations in this section too, and not the class textbook.

Analysis of the Topic from a Christian Perspective

The next (subheading: level-two heading) paragraph should provide an analysis of the chapter information from a Christian-centered perspective.

Conclusion
The final (subheading: level-two heading) paragraph should be a separate conclusion section, which is mandatory for all APA assignments. The conclusion section will be used to summarize the outcomes that were gleaned from each main topic. For example, the essay First discussed… and this was the outcome. Secondly, the essay discussed…and this was the outcome. Third, the essay discussed… and this was the outcome. Finally, the outcomes of the study revealed that…the thesis was either supported or not. Thesis of your essay should be listed in your introduction, which states the purpose of your assignment.
