18 Nov Health Program Models

DQ: Health Program Models

Public health programs have been used to address health diseases and issues. However, after the disasters related to the Atlantic tropical cyclone in 2005 and Hurricane Katrina in the Gulf Coast, particularly New Orleans, there was a greater need for public health preparedness planning and programs to help public health officials become more prepared for such disasters. As a result, discussions started at the government level to develop programs that would assess and evaluate the U.S. being prepared for natural disasters. Now, initial attention is given to disaster preparedness training and communication with government officials, first responders, and medical healthcare physicians and practitioners. Within the last decade, there have been more public health preparedness programs developed to evaluate readiness for natural disasters in the U.S.

Using the South University Online Library, research the PRECEDE-PROCEED model. You may use your readings for the week and the following articles as a start. In addition to these readings, select 1–2 scholarly sources for use in this assignment.
