PHE 540 Final Project Guidelines and RubricOverviewFor your course project, you will identify an environmental chemical hazard that impacts a community’s health. You will analyze the hazard’s impact on humanhealth and recommend intervention strategies.Your course project will result in the completion of:● A Health Risk Assessment: This assessment analyzes the adverse health effects in humans who may be exposed to chemicals in contaminatedenvironmental media, now or in the future.● A Strategic Plan for Environmental Health: The strategic plan proposes intervention strategies that address the environmental health hazard andevaluates the implementation of these strategies.The project is divided into three milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality finalsubmissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Three, Five, and Seven. The final product will be submitted in Module Nine.OutcomesThe PHE 540 Course Project outcomes have been detailed below, organized into four groups as follows: Course Outcomes (PHE540): These goals focus on the content covered in PHE 540.

Scenarios may be broadly or narrowly definedand may include many possible events. Risk assessment attempts to answer three questions for a particular scenario: What can happen? How likely is it tohappen? and, What are the consequences if it does happen? In the environmental health sciences, risk assessment focuses on health impacts that might resultfrom being exposed to a particular agent or from working in, living in, or visiting a particular environment. For this milestone, you will conduct a Human HealthRisk Assessment using a framework from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This milestone will be graded with the Milestone One Rubric and isdue at the end of Module Three.Milestone Two: Human Health Risk Assessment—Part 2In Module Two, you will continue using the Human Health Risk Assessment Template. In these steps, you will continue to evaluate the health risk of thisenvironmental hazard by examining its dose-response and exposure risks. This milestone will be graded with the Milestone Two Rubric and is due at the end ofModule Five.Milestone Three: Strategic Planning for Environmental Health—Part 1With respect to the environmental health hazard that you analyzed in previous milestones, you will compare the strategies used within public health, healthcare,and regulatory systems at both the national and international levels. This milestone will be graded with the Milestone Three Rubric and is due at the end ofModule Seven.Final Submission: Strategic Planning for Environmental Health—Part 2The final submission should be a complete, polished artifact containing all of the critical elements of the final product. It should reflect the incorporation offeedback gained throughout the course. The final submission will be graded using the Final Project Rubric and is due at the end of Module Nine.PromptI. Human Health Risk Assessment—Part 1You will conduct a Human Health Risk Assessment using a framework from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). First, download the HumanHealth Risk Assessment Template (linked in Module Three of your online course). You will use this template for Milestones One and Two.A. Planning. Using the Human Health Risk Assessment Template (“Part A: Planning”), summarize the environmental health concern that you identifiedin Module One using descriptive epidemiology (see the CDC’s website on Descriptive Epidemiology)—including descriptions of person, place, andtime. [PHE-540-01]. Please explain the social, political, and economic determinants of health in your description of the issue [PHE-540-03], as wellas the genetic, physiologic, and psychosocial factors [PHE-540-03]. The template includes prompts for all these descriptors. Refer to the followingresources for specific information you may address in this section:o The “5Ws of Descriptive Epidemiology” on the CDC’s website.o The EPA’s list of questions for the planning phase of human health risk assessmentB. Annotated Bibliography. Complete the annotations in the template (“Part B: Annotated Bibliography”) for three resources regarding your chosenenvironmental chemical hazard. Compose three annotations that cover the following determinants: (1) biological/physical, (2) social, and (3) political(policy-based) [PHE-540-01]. Use authoritative or scholarly sources for all annotations with at least one peer-reviewed journal article. Evaluate theusefulness of each resource by explaining how it supports the chosen environmental chemical hazard. [PHE-540-01] II.Human Health Risk Assessment—Part 2You will continue to evaluate the health risk of this environmental hazard by examining its dose-response and exposure risks. A. Hazard Identification. Please continue using the Human Health Risk Assessment Template as you complete “Part A: Hazard Identification.” Hazardidentification is the process of identifying and selecting environmental agent(s) and health effect(s) for assessment. In this step, the main questionaddressed is this: Does this agent have adverse effects? To answer this question, please review the literature for information on the following: Explain relevant toxicokinetics, including the absorption/uptake, distribution, metabolism, and elimination processes. Provide a summary(one to two sentences) for each process. [PHE-540-02] Discuss relevant toxicodynamics. Summarize the following:o The effects on the human body (one to three sentences);o The mechanisms that impact human health (one to three sentences);o The insights into the possible effects (if known) (one to two sentences). [PHE-540-02] Depict the Mode of Action by creating a concept map and inserting this image into the template. Your concept map will serve as a testablemodel of environmental insult. You may find it helpful to review Systems Thinking in the Healthcare Professions: A Guide for Educators andClinicians (reference this resource as necessary) while constructing the concept map. In your concept map, illustrate the sequence of keyevents and processes, as follows:o Start with interaction of an agent and a cell,o Proceed through to the operational and anatomical changes, ando Conclude with the resulting adverse effects on human health. [PHE-540-02]B. Dose-Response. Please continue using the Human Health Risk Assessment Template as you complete “Part B: Dose-Response.” When public healthprofessionals assess the dose-response, the relationship between exposure and effects is examined, answering the question: What are the healthproblems at different exposures? In the field, this assessment would involve significant data collection and processing. However, for this assignment,you will summarize the dose-response given readily available information. Using the Human Health Risk Assessment Template, address the following: Adverse Effects (these might include physical, mental, socioeconomic, psychosocial, or other effects). Summarize the adverse effects atdifferent dose levels (dose-responses). Please refer to the EPA’s website for further explanation on these components. [PHE-540-02]C. Exposure. Please continue using the Human Health Risk Assessment Template as you complete “Part C: Exposure.” When public health professionalsassess the exposure, the estimation or measurement of the magnitude, duration, and timing of human exposure to the agent of concern is a mainfocus. In this field, the main questions addressed by this type of assessment includes: (1) How much of the pollutant are people exposed to during aspecific time period? or (2) How many people are exposed? In the field, this assessment would involve significant data collection and processing.However, for this assignment, you will summarize the exposure given readily available information. Using the Human Health Risk AssessmentTemplate, address the following:● Exposure pathway and exposure route. Identify the chemical’s exposure pathway and route. Please refer to the EPA’s website for furtherexplanation on these components. [PHE-540-02]III. Strategic Planning for Environmental Health—Part 1With respect to the environmental health hazard that you analyzed in previous milestones, you will compare the strategies used within public health,healthcare, and regulatory systems at both the national and international levels.First, download the Strategic Planning for Environmental Health Template (linked in Module Seven of your online course). You will use this template forMilestone Three and the Final Project submission.A. Comparison of Strategy Effectiveness. With respect to the environmental health hazard that you analyzed in previous milestone projects, comparethe strategies used within public health, healthcare, and regulatory systems at both the (1) national [PHE-540-04] and (2) international [PHE-540-04]levels. Use the table provided in the “Comparison of Strategy Effectiveness” section of the template to form your response. As you complete thistable, please focus on the organization, structure, and function of the environmental health strategies pertaining to your environmental chemicalhazard topic (e.g., federal or international regulatory programs, guidelines, and authorities that control environmental health issues).B. Assessment Methods for Intervention Planning. Using the Strategic Planning for Environmental Health Template, you will detail the methodology forassessing the needs, assets, and capacity of your chosen population regarding your chosen chemical hazard.Needs and Capacity Matrix. During the planning phase for a health program/intervention, there should be a plan for identifying the needs andcapacities of the community or population. In this matrix, you will outline this plan for gathering information on the needs and capacities–summarizing the plan within the matrix table. (Please note: You are not actually conducting a needs or capacity assessment in this section. Youare only brainstorming on the plan for such an assessment.) Please use the “Needs and Capacity Matrix” subsection of the template to guide youin planning the needs and capacities for each possible strategy by building a needs and capacity matrix. Please include these three elements:● List the possible strategies that would reduce the effect of the hazard on the community’s health,● Describe what the community would need to implement this strategy, and● Explain the capacities related to implementing the strategy within the community [PHE-540-04]Assets Map. The assets map provides information about the strengths and resources of a community. Once community strengths and resourcesare inventoried and depicted in a map, you can more easily think about how to build on these assets to address community needs and improvehealth. The template contains a subsection called “Assets Map.” This space is a placeholder for a diagram that you will create using the process ofasset mapping. [PHE-540-04]● View this model. (A text version is available; it is linked in Module Seven of your online course.)● View this official-looking assets mapping example that appears ready for publication. (Please note: This example is not the most commonapproach that you will encounter while practicing public health.)● View this assets mapping example. (Since assets mapping occurs during a brainstorming process [often within a team-based meeting],this example depicts the more realistic use of assets mapping—appearing more “crude” than “polished.”)There are many ways to create an assets map, but most use a method similar to a “flow chart” (using shapes and arrows) method or “mindmapping” technique. There are several options for creating this map, including:● Within Microsoft PowerPoint. Use Microsoft PowerPoint to insert shapes or use the “Smart Art” feature to get started. If you needguidance on using Microsoft PowerPoint, please visit this link the PowerPoint help and learning site. (PowerPoint is the recommendedoption.)● With draw.io. Visit draw.io. When asked for the location to save your files, click your preferred option (suggested: device). On the nextscreen, you will be prompted to create a new diagram using a template. Select “Blank Diagram” (which should be selected by defaultunder the Basic category). Click the Create button. You should now see a blank drawing canvas for your diagram surrounded by severalmenu options. To add a shape or arrow, simply drag and drop. To type within a shape, simply double-click. This is all you will need toknow to create an assets map. Once your assets map is complete, go to the File menu and select PNG from the Export As menu option.This will download your assets map as an image to your computer. For the final step, open the Strategic Planning for EnvironmentalHealth template, click within the blank space under the Assets Map section heading, and then insert an image in this space (i.e., the PNGfile that you created on draw.io).IV. Strategic Planning for Environmental Health—Part 2A. Analysis of Intervention Strategies. Based upon your Human Health Risk Assessment and using the Strategic Planning for Environmental Healthtemplate (“Analysis of Intervention Strategies” section), please recommend two (2) intervention strategies for mitigating the challenges presented byyour chosen environmental chemical hazard by providing a summary of each strategy at the top of each table. [PHE-540-05]. The intervention mayconsist of various approaches, such as policy/advocacy strategies, health promotion strategies, etc. The strategies that you select should align withyour chosen environmental chemical hazard, while also being well-supported by the literature. Analyze each intervention strategy by responding tothe following prompts: [PHE-540-05] Identify the public health theory/concept/approach/model/framework/etc. that was used for this strategy. Summarize this public health theory/concept/approach/model/framework/etc. Explain the rationale for using this theory/concept/approach/model/framework/etc. Explain how this intervention serves as a proactive solution to the health problem(s) caused by the chemical hazard.Place your responses to these questions within the tables provided in the template.B. Risk Management and Communication Approaches. Using the table provided in the “Risk Management and Communication Approaches” section ofthe Strategic Planning for Environmental Health Template, you will explain how you would use risk management and communication approaches (seethe EPA’s Risk Management and Risk Communication approaches webpages) while implementing the intervention strategies from the StrategicPlanning for Environmental Health Template. This analysis involves several factors, which may be abbreviated in the acronym “PESTLE,” which standsfor: Political Factors: Interactions among international, federal, state, and local government entities; Practices defined by agency policy andpolitical administrations; Activities of Congress, special interest groups, or concerned citizens Economic Factors: The costs of risk mitigation or remediation options and the distributional effects Social Factors: Factors that affect the susceptibility of an individual or a definable group to risks from a particular stressor—such asincome level, ethnic background, community values, land use, zoning, availability of health care, lifestyle, and psychological condition Technological Factors: The feasibility, impacts, and range of risk management options Legal Factors: Factors that define the basis for the agency’s risk assessments, management decisions, and, in some instances, theschedule, level, or methods for risk reduction Environmental Factors: Provide the basis for the risk assessment, including information drawn from toxicology, chemistry, epidemiology,ecology, and statistics—to name a fewSpecifically, within the template, respond to the two questions below. (Tip: Look at the column headings.) Management Approaches: Describe the issues that are pertinent to the management of your chosen intervention strategies for eachPESTLE factor. [PHE-540-03] Communication Approaches: Explain how each PESTLE factor would affect communications during the implementation of your chosenintervention strategies [PHE-540-03]Please provide at least one (1) example for each cell of PESTLE in the template. Be sure to see this PESTLE example: PESTLE Chart [PublicHealth Foundation (PHF), 2016]. (There is also a text version of this chart; it is linked in Module Nine of your online course.)C. Environmental Justice and Equity. In the second part of the table, you will continue to analyze these approaches by analyzing how both managementand communication approaches would integrate the tenets of environmental justice and equity, including (1) fair treatment and (2) meaningfulinvolvement of all people—as defined by the EPA (see the EPA’s Learn About Environmental Justice page).Specifically: respond to the two questions below: Management Approaches: Explain what should be consider for each tenet of environmental justice (fair treatment and meaningfulinvolvement of all people) in managing your chosen strategies. [PHE-540-05] Communication Approaches: Explain how each tenet (fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people) would affectcommunications during the implementation of your chosen intervention strategies.
