Community health education program implementation is focused on prevention or management of health issues for the community at large and can occur in a variety of settings, from public health department programs to senior centers, schools, community centers and outreach programs. Using the resources from previous courses; health communication, management and resource development practices, needs assessment, program planning and evaluation content, this course requires students to plan the implementation of a health education program, specifically in the community setting, with a focus on integrative health. The course will explore barriers and facilitators to implementation, as well as integrative health strategies based on evidence and best practice for successful community health education programs.
