Taking an approach

Write an essay to test the value of this strategy explained by Harris. First, identify a text you want to work with, and come to terms with that text. Explain the author’s project, keywords, and your evaluation of its uses and limits. Next, work in the mode of that author, analyzing sources the way the author did. Feel free to change the approach to suit your purpose. Borrow a framework that will help you do what you are trying to do. Announce your project explicitly in your essay. Include reflection and evaluation. Explain how effectively the approach or framework that you have borrowed works for your project. Your essay should be 8 pages, typed and double spaced. Use MLA or APA documentation.

CREATE A CONCLUDING STATEMENT THAT IS RELATED AND LOGICAL WITH THE TWO SUPORTING POINTS AS WELL AS IT IS WITH THE TOPIC SENTENSE

Imagine that a close friend sees you reading American Grace and asks you what this huge book is all about and why you have been asked to read it. In 4-7 pages, please thoughtfully tell your friend what you have learned from American Grace as an extended academic study. In your response, citing specific material from the text, please concisely but insightfully pay careful attention to each of the following issues:

• Who are the authors, and why are they uniquely qualified—professionally and personally—to conduct this academic study?
• What resources and methods did the authors use to conduct their research and reach their conclusions?
• What are the authors’ findings about American religion? What happened to religion and American life between World War II and today? What exactly do the authors mean by the phrase “American Grace”?
• What do you think about the overall significance of this study to American religion? Do you agree or disagree with the authors’ findings, and why? Is there any aspect of American religion, past or present, that the authors underemphasized or missed altogether?

One strategy that has proven effective for improving population health outcomes is screening. Screening programs for breast, cervical, prostate, and colon cancer allow for early detection and treatment, thereby improving health outcomes. Advocates of early screening programs have sought to inform populations at risk of the value of participating in early screening.
Consider the following examples: In Florida, mobile mammography units have reached out to uninsured women and provided free mammograms. In Maryland, Wellmobiles go out into the community to provide primary and preventive health care services to geographically underserved communities and uninsured individuals across the state. Many such programs are available for individuals to participate in screening, regardless of ability to pay.
In this Assignment, you will evaluate the characteristics of preventive health programs that lead to successful outcomes.
To prepare:
Review the article “Improving Female Preventive Health Care Delivery Through Practice Change” found in this week’s Learning Resources. Consider why the Every Woman Matters program was not effective in meeting its goals.
Using the Walden Library and other credible websites, identify at least two successful advocacy programs for early cancer screening and evaluate the characteristics that made them effective based on the evidence presented in the article or website.
To complete:
Write a 3- to 5-page paper that includes the following:
Summarize the Every Woman Matters program and how the issue of women’s preventive health care was approached. Analyze possible reasons the program was ineffective.
Summarize the characteristics at least two prevention programs that advocate for early screening, describing what made them successful.
If you were the nurse leader in charge of developing a follow-up to the Every Woman Matters program, what strategies would you propose for creating a more effective prevention program?
