The three main core concepts of public health are assessment, policy formation and assurance. We will concentrate on assurance in this course from a psychological, behavioral and social aspect. For this assignment, write a 3-5 page paper in which you apply at least one behavioral theory to a specific behavioral, psychological or social problem. List the weaknesses that this theory may have. Make sure you paper includes the following:

• Applies theories and models from the psychological, social, and behavioral disciplines.
• Describes specific factors that affect the health and wellbeing of individuals and populations at both the local and global levels.
• Identifies gaps within the discipline specific models and theories that affect public health delivery options for diverse issues and populations.
• Distinguishes levels of intervention for programs and policies.

The Public Health Resources list contains several Web sites that are useful in identifying specific public health problems and gaining insight into current approaches toward prevention and education. You are encouraged to use one of the topics you are considering for your course project, but that is not required. Be sure to look at the different levels of public health interventions.

Support your points with sources from your readings, appropriately cited according to APA guidelines. Prior to submitting, read the Core Concepts Paper Scoring Guide to ensure you have met the expectations of this assignment.

The Purnell and PEN-3 Models for Cultural Competence

• Examine your own cultural competence through courses readings and personal reflection. You may want to incorporate the Quality and Culture Quiz, linked in Resources, into your personal reflection. Then, think about what you learned through the Purnell and PEN-3 models of cultural competence. If necessary, review Chapter 6 in your course textbook to ensure that you understand the models.
  • Why are models of cultural competence important as frameworks for program planning in multicultural populations?
  • Is there a model you gravitate to more than another? Explain why or why not.

Your initial posting should be at least 150 words, and you must reference the work of another writer (either as a quotation, paraphrase, or summary) to provide support for your ideas. The source can be the course text, another relevant book, any assigned reading, or an article you find on your own through the Capella University Library. When you incorporate the other writer’s ideas in your work, use APA citation style to give credit to that writer. Remember that an APA citation includes both the in-text citation (the author’s last name and the year of publication) and the full reference for the source.
