566: Module 5 Discussion: Prevention Programs

Topic

Imagine that you received a large grant to create a Violence Primary Prevention Program. Briefly answer the questions below about what type of program you would create, and then post the worksheet for your classmates to view. You can copy/paste your text into the discussion thread, or upload a file for review.

Feel free to complete the assignment with another classmate or two – if you do this, only one member needs to post the initial response (though other group members will need to post something in order to have access to the discussion board, so please just write a short post indicating who is posting for your group). Please answer all questions in your write-up. Responses should be no longer than two pages total.

1. Did you have any collaborators on this assignment? If so, who were they?
2. Name of Primary Prevention program.
3. What type of violence would you address?
4. What theory (or theories) are you using to frame why violence occurs?
5. Who would be the audience of the program and why this group?
6. What would be the main 23 messages you would deliver to this group and why
7. How would you deliver these messages, and why?
8. Why is this type of program important?

Responses: once the writing part is done, I will send the 2 peer post for you to respond too.

Please remember:

• Writing should be thoughtful, reflective, and should make connections with the assigned topic. You are expected to think critically and cite information from the readings including those found in the module and those assigned for the discussion.
• Where relevant, please incorporate readings into your response and remember to properly cite when using others’ words and/or ideas.
