NURS FPX 6011 Assessment 2 Evidence-Based Population Health Improvement Plan

Slide: 01

• Evidence-Based Population Health Improvement Plan

This presentation will provide a population health improvement plan of obesity reduction in the Non-Hispanic Afro-American community that will entail increasing access to healthy foods, supporting physical activity, and promoting diversity. Poverty, malnutrition, and lack of safe exercise areas are some of the contributing factors (Wang et al., 2023). The intervention will support health equity, prevent food deserts, and reduce obesity.

• Environmental and Epidemiological Data

Non-Hispanic Afro-American Obesity is a significant issue of public health because it is more than 49.9 percent obese as compared to the national percentages of 41.9 (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2024). It is impacted more by the fact that the rate of food insecurity increased, where 19.3% of citizens have to live in the area without proper access to adequate and affordable food products in comparison to the national rate at 10.5% (Feeding America, 2024).

The location has an unfavorable score of 42/100 in terms of walkability (Telega et al., 2021). These related issues depict the eligibility towards community involvement to tackle obesity and poor health in the population.

The data presented in this paper have credible secondary sources that are the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as well as scholarly research articles. A different meta-synthesis study conducted by Aldaz et al. (2022) has also provided a correlation between the built environment and food insecurity and obesity.

They place obesity as an important point of focus on health disparity in Jacksonville and determine the factors that predispose to health disparities within the environment and social context as potential points of prevention initiatives.

• An Ethical Health Improvement Plan

Because of the large percentages of obesity in Non-Hispanic Afro-American, the ethical and feasible plan of population health improvement comprises three interventions: the increase of access to healthful foods, encouragement of physical movement, and health literacy enhancement. Among the strategies is the mobile markets that focus on food-insecure and food desert communities to deliver fresh fruits and vegetables to the intended communities through local farmers and nonprofit organizations (Hammon and Goralnik, 2024).

On a physical activity, free aerobic, aerobics, Zumba, yoga, walking clubs in parks, and green spaces, which are easily accessible, also belong to the plan. They are established and executed to provide choices towards improved life, empower individuals, and motivate them to concentrate on a healthier way of life in communities.

Nevertheless, the inaccessible nature of the neighborhood and high cost of walking, as well as the relatively high cost of healthy nutrition that does not encourage immigrants, cripple its performance in the local context.

Addressing the said issues translates into the city spending money on sidewalks, improved lighting, and the acquisition of green space in the form of community gardens (informed by the different neighborhoods) (Patterson, 2023). The community will receive multilingual wellness programs incorporating traditional food practices through the culturally appropriate community health workers.

• Outcome Criteria

Some of the success measures that will be employed towards reviewing the plan will involve reduced rates of obesity, increased access to healthy food, health literacy, and community involvement. It is also made sure that these criteria are the foundations of the main goals of the intervention and measurement principles, and they can support ethical, all-embracing, and sustainable improvement (Coughlin et al., 2020). They are concrete, non-invasive, and continuous quality improvement-oriented.

Slide: 04

• Collaboration Plan with the Community

The 100 Black Men of America, Inc. is the stakeholder that can be enlisted to assist in the implementation of the population health improvement plan regarding the Non Hispanic Afro-Americans. The 100 Black Men of America, Inc., will be a suitable partner in outreach, education, and engagement, since it is a community-based organization that already has a very long history of operation, and the primary goal is to empower the marginalized group of people that includes Black and Hispanic individuals (The 100 Black Men of America, Inc, 2025).

They possess better customer relations standing with their clients, who always frequent these community health workers, thus relevant in mobilizing people to attend mobile farmers markets, fitness, and nutritional education classes. The reason is that the 100 Black Men of America, Inc is most significant because its multicultural focus is most timely based on the multicultural population with significant interest in African American, Hispanic, and Haitian patients.

The other ones are the local healthcare systems, schools, corporations, Duval County Health Department, local government parks and recreation departments, the local grocery stores, and faith institutions (Petkovic et al., 2023). To overcome this inclusiveness, the information to be passed will be represented in Spanish and Haitian Creole to ensure that individuals of these origins can comprehend it, and documents will be printed in both large fonts and braille to accommodate their requirements (Khatri et al., 2025).

In addition, informed consent on data collection policy and data protection policy will be observed to ensure that the privacy of data is not violated by any technology during the implementation of the program. Such undertakings promote trust and the provision of equitable allocation of health resources to the various groups in society.

Slide: 05

• Value and Relevance of Evidence and Technology Resources

The evidence and technologies employed in formulating the population health improvement plan for non-Hispanic Afro-Americans are important to outline the effectiveness and feasibility of the interventions. Tracking apps offered on diet and exercise, and social networks and sites supporting the advocacy of exercise, will be included in health interventions, thereby rendering the program readily accessible and appealing to the community members (Basto & Ferreira, 2025).

There is also evidence on the research on the impacts of access to healthy foods and body exercises in relation to obesity, which supports the use of mobile farmers markets and fitness programs as sustainable solutions. It has been found that the presence of good nutritious food and opportunities to engage in physical activities will significantly improve the healthier lifestyles of an unhealthy population in those less privileged regions (Ziso et al., 2022).

The use of devices, including fitness trackers, which are mobile technologies, will also help the participants to monitor their progress, thereby boosting the objective of the program. Therefore, to make sustainable the advancements in the quality of life of the residents and their health, in particular, in Jacksonville, the intention of integrating best practices and technologies to serve the stated purposes is laid down.

Slide: 06

• Communication of the Evidence-Based Population Health Improvement Plan

To make sure that the evidence-based population health improvement plan of the non-Hispanic Afro-Americans is realized with community involvement, the following preventative measures can be implemented as follows. To start with, the members of this area and other interested representatives and organizations in the community should be involved in planning and decision-making.

The open sessions, like hosting open forums, Town Hall, and collaborative meetings, provide an avenue whereby the stakeholders can outline their requirements and help in formulating more implementation strategies. The presence of a community health ambassador is effective in encouraging the population within a given locality to participate in activities like mobile farmers markets, physical workouts, and nutrition classes (National Academies of Sciences, 2023).

It is therefore implied that possibilities like allowing local institutions like churches, schools, and other businesses to be the main participants or co-participating in hosting the events will contribute to sharing the loads and will lead to greater concern and involvement.

The stakeholders also have a chance where they can integrate various culturally fitting solutions in their programs, such as selecting the food that the culture prefers in their programs or holding culturally fitting fitness sessions. Moreover, when such practices as the utilization of surveys or suggestion boxes to gather the opinion of the community and introducing them are used, it demonstrates that the feedback of the community is valued.

Last but not least, the availability of the materials in different languages and formats will mean that children with a disability will not be left behind (Krystallidou et al., 2020). These measures promote teamwork, trust, and commitment in a manner that not only forms a supportive society that propagates change.

Slide: 07

• Conclusion

The promotion of the health status of the population will be provided in terms of obesity prevention, which will be ensured by enhancing access to healthy foods and physical activity. The rationale of the plan is the evidence and analysis of food insecurity and obesity in the low-income populations among the youth.

These are the results that provide certain goals that need to be attained using the intervention, and they can be evaluated to ascertain their results. This action plan aims at enhancing the well-being of the people residing in Jacksonville s by ensuring that life in this city becomes healthy.
