1 Community Health Problem and Improvement Plan Name: Course Name: Date:

2 Community Health Problem and Improvement Plan Introduction The occurrence of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS) among local teenagers is the health issue I address in my community health improvement plan. Between the ages of 10 and 19, adolescents experience fast physical and psychological growth, including sexual maturation and the formation of romantic relationships ( Khazarian et al., 2020 ). There are three categories of adolescents: those who attend school, those who reside in slums, and those who spend most of their time outside. The final group is the most susceptible to HIV/AIDS. Teenage HIV transmission risk factors include adolescent sex workers, child trafficking, child slavery, migrating populations, childhood trauma, forced sexual activity with an adult, and biological and psychological susceptibility. Although sexual contact is the most common transmission mode, an increasing number of pregnant adolescents are becoming unwell. My community's doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals have steadily increased HIV/AIDS cases. This worries many in my neighborhood. One in four local youths gets HIV/AIDS annually. Social media's effects, worries, and cultural linkages, such as teen pregnancies and sexual assault taboos, are to blame. Because they can't afford basic needs, my neighborhood's youth engage in dangerous sexual behavior that spreads HIV and AIDS. Low condom use, high juvenile STD rates, and alcohol or drug addiction contribute significantly to this neighborhood issue. Structure and Process My evaluation of a program that efficiently addresses my community's HIV/AIDS incidence will have community mobilization and capacity building as its foundational tenets. It will impede the overall community restructuring, involving several stakeholders, including the local population. A required condition is for the district to become involved through interpersonal

3 ties and for the transformation that results in possessing emergent features such as collective efficacy. Community involvement is a condition that must occur (e.g., sex workers who unite together to demand condom use from clients). Most of the shift may be attributed to community members involved in the preparation and execution of the intervention. To begin, I will instruct medical professionals and other workers in more efficient ways to deal with patients and clients. Increasing the number of individuals available to launch interventions or improve productivity, securing money to implement or expand interventions, and providing productivity-boosting incentives are all examples of ways that can be taken to boost productivity. The problem will next be investigated using factors such as the age, social class, and behavior of the group that is being affected. After that, I analyze the community health services available to assist with the problem. This includes monetary donations, presents, information, and volunteers eager to educate their neighbors in their community about HIV and AIDS. These answers need to consider the resources that are already accessible to avoid any unnecessary complications. This will give a complete evaluation of the community's health and indicate areas that need improvement—developing metrics for locally accountable health programs and cultivating accountability through health-improvement initiatives ( Tataw, 2020 ). When picking indicators, it is necessary to consider risk factors and health outcomes. Putting into action health-improvement initiatives to battle the high incidence of HIV and AIDS in the community Members of the community will be present to put into action preventative measures against the spread of HIV and AIDS. Outcomes Efficient use of scarce funds and a more direct line between high-caliber research and actual policymaking are both made possible by rigorous program evaluation. Assessments of

4 structural interventions should be as thorough as those of other public health initiatives in terms of covering the same ground. The study's goals must be established, appropriate sampling and sample sizes must be used, and appropriate analytical methods must be applied ( Iskarpatyoti et al., 2018 ). The outcome standards and aim for evaluating and addressing the prevalence of HIV and AIDS in my community is to; Prevent any new HIV and AIDS infections by adolescence within the community, improve the health standards for members of the community living with HIV and AIDS, lower HIV and AIDS-related inequities and health disparities within the community, continually develop an effective and efficient improvement plan that can enhance the wellbeing of the community.
