Intervention Mapping
topic - child hood obesity in Maryland (USA)Overview
This assignment will enable you to better understand and use IM
for your final case study. Preparation
You have already chosen a local public health issue from your

4. own community in your Unit 3 assignment. You have also found
an intervention that will help you address the issue you chose in
the Unit 5 assignment. Now, you need to complete the process
by understanding how IM is used in public health to assess the
strengths and weaknesses of EBPs. This assignment will help
you continue to build your final case study.
Take on the role of a local public health outreach worker who
has been assigned by the superior to prepare a recommendation
for a strategic intervention dealing with a public health issue.
Review the following articles from the unit readings:
· Voogt et al.'s 2014 article, "The Development of a Web-Based
Brief Alcohol Intervention in Reducing Heavy Drinking Among
College Students: An Intervention Mapping Approach."
· Corbie-Smith, Akers, and Bluementhal's 2010 article,
"Intervention Mapping As a Participatory Approach to
Developing an HIV Prevention Intervention in Rural African
American Communities."InstructionsProblem Statement
Summary
In a paragraph, summarize your community public health
problem statement and justification from the Unit 3
assignment.Analysis of Intervention Mapping Approach
For this section, compare and contrast two articles provided that
discuss IM.
· Write a summary of both articles that contains the following
elements:
· A description of how IM was used in these two articles.
· The identification and analysis of the similarities and
differences between the two different issues (drinking and HIV)
involved.
· A description of how IM is used as an advocacy strategy.
· An assessment of the strengths and weaknesses you found in
the IM approach. Support your reasoning with scholarly
resources.
· Offer one suggestion on how one could improve the IM
process.
Review the Intervention Mapping Scoring Guide carefully to

5. fully understand how this assignment will be graded.Thinking
Ahead to Unit 9 Assignment
In this course, each assignment leads into the next assignment.
As you prepare to submit this assignment, ask yourself the
following questions:
· What do I know now about IM that I did not know before?
· How will my understanding of IM help me complete my final
case study assignment?Submission Requirements
Your assignment should meet the following requirements:
· APA format: Resources and citations are formatted according
to current APA style and formatting.
· Number of references: A minimum of three peer-reviewed
resources.
· Length of paper: 3–5 typed, double-spaced pages of content
plus cover and reference pages and any appendices.

Assignment I:Individual Social Welfare Issue and Policy
Practice paper
Due March 5th before 11:59 pm
Each student will write a paper to discuss the interdependent
aspects of social welfare policy issues and social w ork policy
practice. The paper should be 5-6 pages, not including the
references and correctly formatted title page. Students are
expected to provide at least three peer-reviewed sources per
page (standard in academic writing) and to omit direct

8. quotes by either paraphrasing or summarizing them. Please
study the rubric to understand that this paper is about how
social work policies influence social work practice and how
social work practice influences social welfare policies. These
are the interdependent aspects of our profession, along with
social work values and roles.
PLEASE BE CAREFUL ABOUT THE TERMINOLOGY YOU
USE IN THIS PAPER - there is no such thing as social work
policies so please do not use this phrase. There are social
policies and social welfare policies and you are asked to
first discuss and define social welfare policies (which you may
do by comparing and contrasting social welfare policies with
social policies).
If you incorporate the rubric questions and reword them into
appropriate APA headings, you will do well in this paper. You
should not be researching or providing a lot of information
about the social welfare policy (law, program, service, or
agency) that you are discussing. Instead, follow the assignment
instructions and the rubric to discuss your understanding of how
the policy might serve as a platform for understanding how
policy and practice impact each other.
Notice also that you are asked to discuss at least three social
work values and roles, neither of which can you do well without
referring to the National Association of Social Work's (NASWs)
Code of Ethics (NASW, 2008).
Next, you are expected to provide a critical response to what
you have learned (review the discussion board video
announcement posted on January 21st to understa nd what this
means).
Finally, this paper is expected to include a comprehensive and
well-written conclusion and to comply with APA 7th edition
writing guidelines.
