Running Head: PROMOTING COMMUNITY HEALTH Promoting Community Health 1 PROMOTING COMMUNITY HEALTH 2 The aspect of health has been on the forefront, and several people seem not to take into
consideration health matters with much consideration. As noted in the model program that I did
suggest for my community to address factors that result in the use of alcohol and substances
among the vulnerable community, the program entailed five prevention measures (Lewis, 2015).
Among the measures, the first step would center on the reduction of alcohol access. The second
step is ensuring responsible beverage service that involves training beverage servers and retailers
(Otto et al. 2013).
The third measure is leveraging law enforcement aimed at reducing drinking and driving
which would be enhanced by the use of sobriety checkpoints (Lewis, 2015). The fourth
component or measure in the program is targeting reducing access of alcohol by minors and
lastly focusing on providing communities with the respective tools for implementation and
intervention support aimed at addressing substance and alcohol abuse (Otto et al. 2013).
The measures of the model program as they have been listed are likely to be changed to
meet the desired outcomes in the society that are aimed at a healthy and better life in the
community that would see the human race is continued to the next generation (Lewis, 2015). The
measures or components just as they have also been listed brings to light what factors enhances
such activities of alcohol and substance use in the community (Otto et al. 2013).
The obstacles, in this case, are categorized into two categories such as micro-level which
is at the individual level and Macro-level which is community or state-based (Lewis, 2015).
Under the micro-level, the aspect of finance was a big challenge in undertaking the program as
well as approaching the targeted group. To ensure that the model or program was a success I had
to travel from one place to the other, and this was hindered a lot by the aspect of finance
(Community-based programs, 2016). PROMOTING COMMUNITY HEALTH 3 Under the macro-level is that it was a problem when it came to accessing the funds that
would see the program is successfully implemented as expected in the community since most of
the financing institution would like more details and some are not willing at all to outsource such
funds (Lewis, 2015). The other barrier under the is the targeted group who are the people taking
alcohol and substance abuse. The target group was not willing to interact with us since most of
them did believe that whatever they are doing is good, and none should intervene (Communitybased programs, 2016).
The aspect of financing as a barrier can be solved through personal savings and
contributions from friends (Lewis, 2015). To address this issue, I would approach several likeminded and willing friends who are aiming to towards the same goal of promoting community
health and contribute towards the program or model. With the assurance of such groups, we can
have charity walks that would ensure that we collect enough amount of for financing the
program (Community-based programs, 2016).
The macro- level barrier which is an obstacle to access and funding for care would be
solved when we have sufficient details on how potential the program would be to the community
(Lewis, 2015). With the available and comprehensive details, I am sure the alternative source
would join hands towards the implementation of the anticipated program which would be
significant to the community or society (Otto et al. 2013). Lastly, is the barrier based on the
patient interaction, in that most believe that what they are doing is right, and none should
intervene. To achieve this, it is important to include adverse impacts of substance abuse and
alcohol consumption and give the importance of the program in details to the latter (Communitybased programs, 2016). PROMOTING COMMUNITY HEALTH 4 Contemporary, public health puts more emphasis on the community-based approach to
health promotion and disease prevention (Community-based programs, 2016). However, for the
community-based program to be a success or implemented several aspects need to be taken into
account such as the regulation, legal, ethical and accreditation requirements. Under the
regulations, the setting is integrated into and offers a full access for the targeted individuals
within a particular community (Otto et al. 2013). The other requirement which is the ethical
requirement is that the program needs to ensure that an individual?s privacy rights, respect,
dignity, and freedom are enhanced and embraced to the latter.
Under the accreditation requirement, the program is obligated to have been authorized by
the specific body that monitors health programs such as commission on accreditation of allied
health education programs (CAAHEP). The CAAHEP is the largest programmatic accreditor in
the field of health and social care (Community-based programs, 2016). With the full
accreditation from such a body, the program is liable for any activity that is aimed towards a
better health care and health care promotion as well.
In the discussion much is noted on the anticipated program that aims towards the health
promotion of a community that is affected by the use of alcohol and substance abuse. Much is
noted on the barriers that are categorized in either micro or macro level obstacles. Among the
micro-level barriers aspects such as financial issues and target group interaction is experienced.
Also under the macro-level barriers, we also come across the barrier to access to financial
sources among other aspects. PROMOTING COMMUNITY HEALTH 5 Reference
