Screenings uncover health problems within a community. This is done in an efficient and economical way by analyzing the specific population within a community as having a high prevalence of a disease or health problem. The effectiveness of screening can promote a positive outcome for the population at risk. Screening instruments are valid and reliable and offer identification and prevention of many diseases within a given community.
Tasks:
Consider one of the primary diseases seen in your community. What screening tests could be done to detect this disease early? How could you implement community-wide screening in your community? Knowing that you cannot have both sensitivity and specificity in a screening test, which will be most important? Justify your response with the readings or journal articles from the online library.
In a minimum of 200 words, post your response to the following:
Identify one of the primary diseases seen in your community.
Identify screening tests used for early detection.
Describe how to implement community-wide screenings.
Discuss importance of either sensitivity or specificity in screening test.

Have you ever heard the old adage that A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words? We are continually surrounded by visual images; images that we use to communicate thoughts, facts, emotions, meaning. Our ability to understand and make meaning of these images is referred to as Visual literacy, and it is an important element in the way that we understand our world today. Visual Essays articulate a visual narrative from images that might otherwise take lengthy passages of text to convey. Some text may be included, however, it is very brief and its purpose is to add context or descriptive bits of prose to guide the viewer to the intended meaning. Often, this can be accomplished with a descriptive title, or short caption. Tip: more is not necessarily better – it is about the relevance and meaning of your images, not about the quantity.
Purpose:
Visual essays help to tell a story, present an issue or provoke thoughtful reflection through pictures and images. They are often used to capture the human experience of social problems or powerful events that shape our society or world views, or to tell a personal story, or illustrate the way that we understand conditions of our fellow man, or our surrounding community or environment. Visual Essays may include one or more images. They are meant to convey in carefully selected images a narrative that might otherwise take many lines or paragraphs of text.
Your Assignment:
For your assignment this week, you will have the opportunity to demonstrate your visual literacy skills through the development and presentation of a Visual Essay of your own, and reflection upon those presented by your peers. Be sure that you review the instructions carefully and follow them fully. There are important aspects of the assignment that you need to adhere to.
For this assignment you will have the opportunity to create your own Visual Essay, to capture your perception of one of the following aspects of aging in America, through photo images:
Aging and Poverty
Aging and Homelessness
Aging and Health Care Disparities
Health Risks of the Elderly
Healthy Aging
Photos:
For this assignment, you will need to take (preferred method – make use of those smart phones!) or select a series of 6-8 photos that document your chosen topic from above related to Aging in America.
It is preferred that you shoot all of your own photos for this project. If you are taking the photos in private settings or including human subjects, you must obtain written permission from your subject(s). Always protect the privacy and safety of your subjects!
Take great care to be respectful and to avoid controversial images that could lead to negative stigmatization of photo subjects.
You may use photos from published sources if you provide the appropriate citations and references, but it is still preferred that you provide at least some of your own photos.
You may use a combination of your own photos and source photos (with proper citations).
An important word of caution: You must document where you obtained the photos by providing source, photographer (if known) and publisher/website address. If you cannot do so, do not use them. If using personal photos, identify yourself as the photographer.
[Title]. [Date of photograph (or date unknown, or “circa”)]. [Name of photographer (if known)]. [Complete source information if “borrowed” from Internet or published source]. Brief statement/caption about the significance of the photo (what does the picture say?).
The Visual Essay
Use PowerPoint, and in addition to your photos, include the following:
A title slide that identifies the focus of your visual essay, your name, course name and number, and date
An Introduction slide that identifies the topic focus and briefly describes its significance in the United States (i.e., in America, XX number of elderly are homeless; the poverty rate for people over 65 in America is XX%; homeless elderly in America often fall between the cracks and of community safety nets, etc.)
A slide that “sets up” the visual essay – gives a brief overview of what the viewer will see as they click through the “slide show” of photos (i.e., the following slides depict the face of elder poverty in America; in the following slides you will see the reality of health care disparities faced by America’s elderly living in poverty; etc.)
A very brief wrap up/summary/statement slide (leave the viewer with a powerful statement and image that sums up your purpose for the visual essay)
A references slide (APA format)
Remember, the emphasis of this assignment is on visual images – not text. The images should tell the story and make the point. You want to leave your audience with a lasting image in their mind about your topic. I will be looking for professional appearance, emotional appeal and a coherent representation of the topic through the images on the slides.

Marketing Plan: Product Identification and SWOT Analysis
What To Do:
This week, you will be creating components of your capstone marketing plan assignment. You will then finish your plan in Week 5.
Using the company you selected for your marketing manager internship, you will complete a situation analysis with the goal of identifying a new product/service to develop your marketing plan against.
Guided Response:
Create a minimum 750 word APA style formatted Word document that includes at least 1 scholarly resource from Ashford’s online library in addition to the course text.
Your document should contain paragraphs that cover the following topics:
A description of your selected company/brand
The core products/services they offer
A brief history
Key current competitors
A SWOT analysis
The product or service line you want to develop a marketing plan for and a SWOT based argument for why it warrants marketing investment
Please see our sample situational analysis (completed for McDonald’s) for more details, including minimum lengths by topic.
What Should I Market?
The focus of your marketing plan can be a new product/service idea of your own or an existing product/service that you think deserves its own dedicated campaign. Just don’t pick something that you’ve already seen being actively marketed.
For example, after completing a SWOT analysis for McDonald’s, one might propose marketing new concepts like a McVeggie burger or an adult happy meal. Further afield, one might propose a whole new chain of pay to visit indoor McPlayground Centers. Or, relative to existing offerings, one might suggest a dedicated marketing campaign for say “burgers at breakfast” or after midnight snacking via the drive thru.
Lean about your brand and then let your imagination run wild. It can be a big idea that will appeal to many of their customers or a very targeted effort. You decide. You can always adjust your idea after getting instructor feedback.

Student’s post (comment on this too): Alex O’Brien
Activity Based Costing (Obrien)
Author Marty Schmidt explains why he believes activity-based costing is worth the time and effort. He starts by pointing out that gross margin can even be misleading towards the product margin detail below. As an example, a higher gross margin may lead management to believe all products are doing well when in reality, several product lines may be killing it while others take losses. He makes it clear that ABC can provide tremendous value in being able to make more sophisticated and strategic decisions on how to run the business but also points out that it can be costly and difficult to apply. Ultimately, Marty concludes the best way to figure out whether ABC is right for any company is to try it. He also makes a very key point that companies can try out ABC on just a few products as a “trial run.”
