| Note: Although this formative pre-assessment is not graded, a submission is required before you can advance to your summative assessment. |
Module Pre-Assessments are your opportunity to practice applying module content before final submission of your Competency Assessment. Your Final Competency Assessment is a PowerPoint presentation. Therefore, you may choose to write your Pre-Assessment responses here in paragraph form, as a script, or as another type of deliverable. Consider what would be most helpful for you.
For your Module 2 Pre-Assessment, respond to the following prompts. These prompts match those in your Final Assessment.
Prompts:
Part 2: Advocating for a Population Based on Social Determinants of Health
- Identify the population in your community for which you will advocate. Describe key characteristics of this population (e.g., age, language, culture). Be specific with examples.
- Identify the population’s needs based on the social determinants of health (SDoH). Include examples to explain these needs.
- Identify three (3) resources (i.e., organizations and services) in your community that you would recommend to this population to address specific needs, as well as improve health and well-being as defined by the SDoH. Explain your rationale for selecting each resource.
- Describe essential information the population would need to access and benefit from each resource (e.g., location, hours, languages spoken/multi-lingual materials available, special services, free services/materials, online links).
- Identify at least one example of a missing resource that is needed by the population and why.
- Explain recommendations for expanding or strengthening existing services to meet particular needs better.
Part 3: Reaching the Population
- Describe strategies for reaching the population with the community resource information you identified and that align with the characteristics and preferences of this population. Be specific with examples.
- Based on your advocacy plan, identify goals for improving health outcomes for this population.
Once you submit your responses, assess yourself using the rubric provided. Use your Pre-Assessment submission and any feedback you may garner to improve and refine your responses.
