Apply your knowledge of U.S. health and human services delivery of care by examining scholarly sources (e.g., government sources, etc.) that provide information on best practices that examine some aspect of your social issue. Thus, you will be asked to do the following:

Describe two to three examples of interventions, approaches, or techniques that have been demonstrated to be effective in addressing your social issue. While specific examples of best practices will vary based upon the topic, areas to consider can include, but are not limited to:

Case management approaches

Preventive services

Clinical intervention/therapies

Educational initiatives

Analyze elements pertinent to the best practices that you have identified. These include:

An overview of each practice (i.e., what they are, specific elements, how and where they are used, etc.).

Examination of evidence in the form of research studies that support the effectiveness of the practices (i.e., description of study, methods, and findings).

Evaluation of their strengths and areas for improvement.

Lastly, provide a brief (no more than one page) proposal for a model intervention (i.e., program, service, or initiative) that you would like to develop that incorporates one of your selected best practice methods. This intervention must be unique and original. Do not propose an intervention that is currently being used to address your social issue. Elements for discussion include:

A brief description of proposed intervention.

Rationale for its application to your issue.

Where/how the best practice method will be used.
