b) Critical Review on Similar programs No longer than 2.5 pages (I am deducting points if you exceed the page limitations) 10 peer-reviewed journal articles reporting on programs that are similar to your program Best Approach: ? Select Journal articles reporting on programs NOT on surveys ? Similar programs as yours means that the topic, the setting, the population and the type of prevention are as similar as possible to your program. ? Most comprehensive Database PUBMED; You can also use CINAHL or MEDLINE however they might focus more on clinical treatments, which is not the focus of health education. ? Use interchangeable Key words (i.e. African American, Black //Youth, Teenagers//Older Adults, Elders, Seniors // Program, Intervention etc.) ? Use Full-text Articles (Abstracts will not provide you with detailed information) ? For each article use a separate sheet of paper to extract the following information (write the APA style reference citation on top of the page): ? What types of components and activities were implemented by the program? Who implemented them/ What skills did they have? ? Intensity: How much contact hours did participants have with the program ? What Theoretical model was used in the program? ? Sampling methods/recruitment methods? ? What Pre/Post test was used? If it is suitable (i.e. it measures your objectives) USE EXISTING INSTRUMENT. Access Pre/Post test through Google Note: YOU HAVE TO INCLUDE THE FULL PRE/POST TEST IN YOUR APPENDIX ? Was the program effective? After assembling all ten pages (ten programs) compare and contrast ? i.e. : Edwards et al 2010 effectively used trained bilingual community outreach workers to recruit Latinas 40years of age and older for a Diabetes management program. This recruitment approach was successfully replicated for heart health and wellness programs (Hernandez et al 2011, Gutierrez et al 2013) as well as for other populations such as African American women (Moore et al 2013) and Vietnamese women (Nguyen et al 2011). ? In the previous example you have covered 5 references in one paragraph. ? You want to report similarities and differences of the approaches that you review. ? If you see a model or theory being consistently and successfully used in programs of your topic and population use that theory/model for your program
