Domain of Determinants and the Best Interventions
1. First, for your neighborhood health outcome identify a potential CAUSE or RISK that explains the health outcome for each domain of determinants: (a) psychological or cognitive; (b) social or community-level; and (c) organizational, institutional, or political domains. You may wish to reference the conceptual framework you introduced in your Neighborhood Justification for identification of causes or risks. (5 points)
2. Second, next to each of the 3 DOMAINS of the factors/explanations that you identified as the possible determinants of your health outcome, list in brief bullet form a few ideas about possible interventions. If possible, add intervention ideas in each of the 6 intervention cells in the matrix -- see the example attached. You don’t need to fill all 6 cells. (5 points)
3. Third, identify 2 of the main or best interventions that you want to expand upon. Be sure to select one at the individual level and one at the community or higher level. Below the matrix, in about 100 words very briefly describe each of the two MAIN interventions you chose and cite a reference or two for the strength of the evidence. Specifically, for each intervention you identify, cite an evidence-based practice guideline (such as from your readings or from the CDC Community Guide) or a research article – one that suggests that it is a robust and promising practice.
