You have already chosen a local public health issue from your 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 Blumenthal’s 2010 article, “Intervention Mapping As a Participatory Approach to Developing an HIV Prevention Intervention in Rural African American Communities.”

In a paragraph, summarize your community public health problem statement and justification from the Unit 3 assignment.
