Recommendations to Enhance Action Model for Achieving Healthy People 2020 Overarching Goals and Adapting to an Action Model for Healthy Campus 2020

Word doc (pdf) (recommendations and rationale, 230 KB), PowerPoint Slides (pdf) (sample models, 2 MB)

I believe these suggestions make the model action oriented with planning steps and many population segments (i.e., 75 million students). Rationale and references for Healthy People 2020 and Healthy Campus 2020 (below) action models are in the Word document. Samples with small changes to many are in the PowerPoint pdf file.

PRIMARY RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. Consider the Action Model a planning model that includes action steps as in the PRECEDE-PROCEED model and social marketing approach (Theory at a Glance, p 36). 2. Provide users with “action” steps with action oriented words for program development. These include: learn about target audience needs and environment, describe health problem and program strategy, interventions, plan to monitor and evaluate, implement, disseminate, assess effectiveness, refine program.
