Describe the effect of extremely low birth weight babies on the family and community. Consider short-term and long-term impacts, socioeconomic implications, the need for ongoing care, and comorbidities associated with prematurity. Explain how disparities relative to ethnic and cultural groups may contribute to low birth weight babies. Identify one support service within your community to assist with preterm infants and their families and explain how the service adequately addresses the needs of the community, or a population in your community. Provide the link to the resource in your post.

Address the following:

1. Describe the approved topic and associated population your group has selected. Discuss how this topic adversely affects the population. How does health disparity affect this population.
2. Outline a proposal for health education that can be used in a family-centered health promotion to address the issue for the target population. Ensure your proposal is based on evidence-based practice.

Students are required to maintain weekly reflective narratives   throughout the course to combine into one course-long reflective   journal that integrates leadership and inquiry into current practice   as it applies to the Professional Capstone and Practicum course.

In your journal, you will reflect on the personal knowledge and   skills gained throughout this course. The journal should address a   variable combination of the following, depending on your specific   practice immersion clinical experiences:

1. New practice approaches
2. Intraprofessional   collaboration
3. Health care delivery and clinical systems
4. Ethical considerations in health care
5. Population health   concerns
6. The role of technology in improving health care   outcomes
7. Health policy
8. Leadership and economic   models
9. Health disparities

Students will outline what they have discovered about their   professional practice, personal strengths and weaknesses that   surfaced, additional resources and abilities that could be introduced   to a given situation to influence optimal outcomes, and finally, how   the student met the competencies aligned to this course.

While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment,   solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and   references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines,   which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student   Success Center.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to   beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for   successful completion.
