The outline below is one of four 10-page papers I have to write for my degree in Health Education. I was hoping you guys could help me with the brainstorming process and recommend where to look online for credible sources of information?
You are a health educator in a community health organization. The head of your organization has asked you to prepare a brief report that justifies allocation of funds to your department in order to address gun violence in your local community. You must convince those reading the report that addressing this problem should take priority over other health problems at this time. In your report, include the following information:
1. The nature of the problem
2. The scope and extent of the problem on the national level as well as within your community
3. The population/s most "at-risk" for this problem
4. The causes of the problem
5. Why this problem is more urgent than other health problems in your community
6. Discuss one health education initiative strategy at the national level and on at the local level to address this problem and comment on their effectiveness so far.
I was thinking of basing the health organization in an inner city, such as the Bronx. I'm thinking the more location-specific I can get the statistics the better. What I'm stuck on is #4: the causes of the problem. I think it depends on who you ask...What do you guys think?
