SHORT ESSAY QUESTIONS Please answer 2 of the following 3 short answer questions. You will not get extra credit for answering all 3. To start, please select one short essay question and write your response in the text box below. Please indicate which essay (providing the number is fine) you are answering. No citations are required in your answers as you are not allowed to access materials.  One question should be answered in question 41 textbox and one question should be answered in question 42 textbox.  The UF Health Science Center wants to promote free flu vaccines across UF campus for the Fall semester, and they’ve hired you to design a communications campaign. With your knowledge of communication theories from module 9, how would you create a message that could target UF campus? Describe your target outcome for your message (what change in behavior/cognition are you intending?). Describe who will be your receiver. Describe who will be your sender and who will be the source (sender and source should not be the same). Describe your actual message content and how you will encode your message. Describe the medium/channel you will use to transmit your message. Describe the kinds of noise that could impact your message and how your message will be decoded (how could the noise impact the decoding). Finally, what health behavior theory will guide your campaign content and why? Provide justification for each decision so it is clear to us that you understand each concept. Compare and contrast the traditional or “helicopter” model of research to a community-based participatory research (CPBR) approach. Provide a brief overview of each method. Then, name at least 2 benefits and 2 drawbacks for each approach. Given all that you have learned in module 11 on health disparities, social determinants of health, upstream approaches, underlying causes of health disparities, the risk & protective factors model, high risk populations, and racism as a public health issue, select a health condition for which there are known health disparities. First, identify the health condition you have selected and identify a population at high risk for this health condition. Then, discuss why this condition constitutes a health disparity. Discuss one factor at the community or policy/ societal level of the social ecological model that contributes to this health disparity. Finally, briefly discuss one solution that falls at the community and/or policy/societal level of the SEM.
