Assignment Learning Objectives By the end of this assignment, you will: Describe a population of people who are at risk for health inequities using data from credible sources. Develop and write a project summary to justify a mobile health unit to serve this population of people to reduce health inequities. Assignment Instructions 1. Choose three population descriptors from below: One must be Race or Ethnicity Two from this list: Age Gender Identity Sexuality Zip Code Income Level Education Level Health Status 2. Choose at least three reputable data websites from the list below to find supporting evidence: Arizona Department of Health Services (opens in a new tab) The AZ Department of Health Service has a data portal to allow easy access to public health data. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Health Equity (opens in a new tab) The CDC provides data, reports, and initiatives on health disparities, with resources to promote equitable healthcare access. National Institutes of Health (NIH) Health Disparities (opens in a new tab) The NIHs National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) focuses on research, policies, and interventions to address health disparities. Healthy People 2030 Health Equity & Social Determinants of Health (opens in a new tab) Healthy People 2030 outlines national objectives for improving health equity and addressing social determinants of health. Wood Johnson Foundation Health Equity (opens in a new tab) This foundation supports research and initiatives that promote health equity and address systemic disparities. World Health Organization (WHO) Social Determinants of Health (opens in a new tab) WHO provides a global perspective on health disparities, including data, policies, and reports on addressing social determinants of health. Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF) Health Disparities (opens in a new tab) KFF provides in-depth research, policy analysis, and data on health disparities across different populations. County Health Rankings & Roadmaps (opens in a new tab) County Health Rankings & Roadmaps (CHR&R), a program of the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute, develops tools that support community-led efforts and provides a snapshot of the health of nearly every county in the nation. 3. Develop the following rationale: Why do you feel your described population of people require a mobile health unit (see real life examples) OR a mobile food pantry (see real life examples) or access to care via telehealth (see real life examples). Your assignment is to write a project summary that describes what health disparities exist in this group (with data) and your solution is to provide the service (mobile health unit, mobile food pantry, telehealth). Provide EVIDENCE from the data you find on the website and provide a description of the services you want to provide in this mobile health unit or mobile food pantry and what need and health inequity will this service provide for this group. Project Summary The project summary should briefly describe the needs that will be addressed (health inequities or gaps in healthcare), the proposed services (mobile unit), and the client population group(s) to be served (using descriptors). Describe who you are, and the scope of your project. Be concise, clear and specific. Briefly describe: The client population group(s) to be served The need (health inequity or gap in healthcare) that you identified The proposed service to address this health inequity Demographic information: Provide a summary of the target population the mobile unit will be serving. The project summary should also include detailed demographic information (three descriptors you chose) such as race or ethnicity, income levels, and unemployment rates to provide a better sense of the community. Proposed intervention: Describe how your project will overcome one or more community barriers -The project summary should explain how your project will work to overcome one or more current community barriers. For example, if the summary states that the population you identified has a high underfed or poor nutrition rate, your summary should also describe how the proposed project will create opportunities for more nutritious food offerings for this population and how it will reduce or improve this health inequity. The final project will include all of the following paragraphs: An introduction of your project which includes a description of the population you chose and the three descriptors. A description of the healthcare inequity using at least three key pieces of data used to justify your mobile unit. Describe the service(s) your mobile unit will provide and who is the ideal participant. Describe the health benefit to the participants and the benefits to the community at large.

Here is your case for the oral presentation. Remember the focus is not on the case presentation but on how to succinctly present with the pertinent information.

A 22-year-old woman presents with painful urination, hesitancy, and frequency that started yesterday. Her urine seems a bit cloudy, and she must urinate every 2 to 3 hours.

Her last menstrual period was 5 days ago. The patient does not smoke or take any prescription medicine. The city is under lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic, and she does not want to go to the hospital in person out of fear of catching the virus. What is the next best step in managing this patient’s condition?
