Public health emergencies require strategic preparedness and rapid response from public health organizations. In next week's assignment, you will prioritize actions to respond to a Monkeypox outbreak. In this activity, you describe the role of a chosen public health agency or organization to combat such an outbreak as well as key organizations that will partner with them.
Preparation
- Choose and research a public health care agency/organization located in your state, county, or city that is involved in public vaccination efforts. As you examine your organization, consider the key partners and stakeholders that will aid in the efforts as well as the organization's mission, personnel, and population served.
- Download the Week 6 Activity Template [DOCX] and use it to complete your work.
Instructions
Identify a public state, county, or city healthcare agency or organization and do the following using the Week 6 Activity Template:
Part 1: The Organization
- Describe the following aspects of your chosen organization/agency as they relate to immunization programs or efforts.
- Mission.
- Summary of services.
- Population served.
- Role (What contributions does the organization make to local vaccination efforts? How do they work with other organizations to provide this service?)
- Key organizational leadership staff/positions.
Part 2: Partner Organizations
Describe three partner organizations that are essential to the vaccination drive and outline their respective functional roles and responsibilities associated with it. Some examples are churches, federal agencies, hospitals, Non-governmental organizations, other government agencies, et cetera.

Please refer to this week’s learning materials. They are intended to help you engage effectively in this discussion.
Due Saturday
Rather than a standard discussion post, this discussion is a peer-review format.
Complete the Purpose Statement Worksheet to prepare for making revisions.
Based on the work that you completed in RES/709: Research Conceptualization and Design, and on the completion of the Purpose Statement Worksheet, review and revise your purpose statement. Remember this is a fluid process and you should expect some suggestions for fine-tuning your purpose statement.
For the peer review:
- State your program of study.
- Post your revised draft problem statement from Wk 6 Discussion 1 – Problem Statement Peer Review.
- Post your revised draft 1-sentence purpose statement for peer review.
- Include a description of the population by discussing the criteria for selecting the study participants and describe the sample size and the rationale for the sample size. If the study will include archival data, briefly explain the proposed data sources.
Your faculty member and classmates will provide feedback in preparation for the Wk 6 – Prospectus: Problem and Purpose Statements assignment submission.
Note: This is a peer-review process, and the goal is to provide substantive feedback on the process of formulating the purpose statement. The focus of your feedback to your peers should be on how the purpose statement was formulated and not a discussion on the topic.

Purpose Statement Worksheet
The purpose statement describes the goal of the study and includes the following elements: the purpose of the study, the subjects/population who will participate in the study, the geographic location of the study, and the research methodology used in the study.
The purpose of this proposed qualitative exploratory study is to explore why caregivers do not practice good self-care and to explore barriers preventing good self-care practices. Ten caregivers from Dallas, Texas, caring for partners with breast cancer will participate in semi-structured interviews. The purpose of the interviews is to understand why caregivers do not practice good self-care and to describe possible barriers preventing good self-care practices. Results of the study could encourage caregivers to implement good self-care practices to avoid becoming physically and psychologically ill.
To complete the Purpose Statement, answer the following questions:
Example: The purpose of this proposed qualitative exploratory study is to explore why caregivers do not practice good self-care and to explore barriers preventing them from implementing good self-care practices.
Identify the purpose of your study. Start your answer on a new line.
Example: 10 caregivers
Identify the population or subjects who will participate in your study. Start your answer on a new line.
Example: Dallas, Texas
Identify the geographic location of your study. Start your answer on a new line.

Problem Statement Worksheet
The problem in a doctoral dissertation is the most critical component of the study. The problem explains the rationale and validates the importance of the study. Below are the steps for writing a problem statement.
· Step 1: Provide background information.
· Step 2: State the problem.
· Step 3: Provide scholarly support for the problem.
· Step 4: Indicate the potential benefit of addressing the problem.
At the end of this guide, you will create your own problem statement.
Breast cancer and the harsh treatment for the disease affects not only patients but their caretakers. While caring for a breast cancer patient, caregivers face physical and mental challenges while continuing to assume significant caretaking responsibilities. Caregiving often becomes a full-time responsibility that can last for many years. In the instance of a person with breast cancer, their partner is often the primary caregiver. A majority of caregivers report that caregiving is a burden physically, psychologically, economically, socially, and personally (LeSeure & Chongkham-ang, 2015). The problem is caregivers have a demanding and exhausting caretaking schedule, resulting in failure to practice good self-care (LeSeure & Chongkham-ang, 2015). According to Family Caregiving Alliance (2018) many caregivers are aware their own good health means providing better care for the patient, but often feel guilty when choosing themselves first. As a result of failing to take care of themselves, caregivers often become psychologically and physically ill, reducing the ability to care for their ailing partner (LeSeure & Chongkham-ang, 2015). Gaining caregivers’ perspectives on barriers preventing good self-care could lead to the development of interventions and resources for caregivers to begin practicing good self-care.
Provide Background Information
Briefly introduce the problem to provide context for the reader.

State the problem, including the consequence(s) of the problem. Remember: Without a consequence, you don’t have a problem; you have a situation.
The problem is [state the problem], resulting in [state the consequence].
Example: The problem is caregivers have a demanding and exhausting caretaking schedule, resulting in failure to practice good self-care (LeSeure & Chongkham-ang, 2015).
Support the problem with literature illustrating the consequences of the problem.

As a result of failing to take care of themselves, caregivers often become psychologically and physically ill, reducing the ability to care for their ailing partner (LeSeure & Chongkham-ang, 2015).
Indicate potential benefits to people, organizations, society, etc. of addressing the problem.
