1. Identify a public health theory you will use to support      the implementation of your prevention and health promotion activities.      Provide evidence that supports the use of this theory within the program      you designed.
2. Design evidenced-based prevention and health promotion      activities that can be implemented to decrease the health risk among your      previously identified population.

You are required to complete your assignment using real-world application. Real-world application requires the use of evidence-based data, contemporary theories, and concepts presented in the course.
