NR704 Concepts in Population Health Outcomes
Week 1 Discussion
DQ1 DNP Role in Population-Focused Interventions
How do population interventions differ from individually focused interventions? Give an example of a holistic/biopsychosociospiritual (BPSS) intervention focused on an individual and then revise the intervention to focus on a similar population.
DQ2 Assessing Populations
Investigate the top four health issues for the population in your state or region. Compare these issues to Healthy People 2020. Are the issues in your area similar to or different from the national issues? If they are not congruent, what is your supposition regarding the difference. NOTE: One of these health issues will serve as the basis for your Evidence-Based Health Promotion Project.

Week 2 Discussion
DQ1 Identifying and Defining Population Outcomes
The National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators (NDNQI) has identified nurse-sensitive indicators from a variety of settings, including community-based setting. Identify two of these community-based indicators and determine appropriate outcomes
DQ2 Models and Frameworks for Studying the Vulnerability
Identify two models for studying vulnerability and compare and contrast differences when applied to the same population.

Week 3  Discussion
DQ1 Appropriate Application of Epidemiological Terms in Determining Risk
Relative Risk of Breast Cancer: The National Cancer Institute estimates that women have an average lifetime risk of 13.2% (one in eight) of being diagnosed with breast cancer at some time in their lives. The chance that a woman will never develop breast cancer is 86.8% (seven in eight). Having one first-degree relative with breast cancer approximately doubles a woman’s risk of developing cancer (compared to women having no first-degree relatives with breast cancer). Having two first-degree relatives with breast cancer increases risk fivefold. What is the probability or risk of developing breast cancer in both of the scenarios? What is the relative risk? What is the attributable risk? Discuss the importance (or lack of) of these terms in describing a patient’s risk of breast cancer.
DQ2 Applying Epidemiological or Biostatistical Terminology
Which epidemiological or biostatistical terminology best supports the magnitude of the problem for your proposed evidence-based promotion class project.

Week 5  Discussion
DQ1 Frameworks for Assessing Population High-risk Factors
Choose a condition and/or disease. Utilize the Web of Causation or the Epidemiological Triangle framework to describe the contributing factors for host, agent, and environment, and so forth.
DQ2 Health Disparities and Health Equity
What are the differences between health disparities and health equity? Give examples of the different approaches and philosophies when utilizing these terms.

Week 7 Discussion
DQ1 Frameworks for Evaluating Outcomes
Share with the class the outcomes you measured to evaluate your class project.
DQ2 Dissemination and Intra-/Interprofessional Collaboration
If you carried out this plan, how would you disseminate your findings? What venues would be appropriate? How might you engage intra-/interprofessional collaboration?
