Wellness Across the Lifespan
IHP 200 Milestone One Guidelines and Rubric

Overview: For the final project in this course, you will analyze a health issue from the perspective of an individual patient dealing with the health issue and the age-specific population that individual belongs to. Your analysis will include potential prevention options that might help the individual and the population prevent or mitigate the health issue. Finally, you will take this information and develop a short presentation directed to an audience that might be able to help prevent or mitigate the health issue.

Prompt: In Module Three, you will submit your preliminary health issue analysis. Your draft should include the following critical elements, which relate to Section I of the Final Project Guidelines and Rubric. Be sure to review the rubric below before you begin your analysis to understand what is expected of you.

1. Describe the health issue and the impacted age-specific population. 2. What is the prevalence of the health issue within that age-specific population? How does that inform youranalysis? 3. Has the prevalence of the health issue changed over time? If so, how does that inform your analysis? 4. What are the symptoms of the health issue? Do the symptoms of the individual differ from those of the age-specific population? In what ways? 5. What are the potential causes of the health issue? 6. What are the implications of the data you have analyzed for the individual and the age-specific population regarding prevention options? Use examples

and research to support your thoughts. 7. What typical prevention options are available for the health issue in terms of the age-specific population?

Guidelines for Submission: It is suggested that your Milestone One journal be between 5 and 6 paragraphs in length. All citations must be in APA format.
