In this module, you have learned about individual and population health, the people involved in promoting health, and some of the local, state, and federal agencies in place to support these efforts. To explore these efforts in more detail, select one of the Healthy People 2020 Leading Health Indicators that has meaning to you, and in 250 words or more, using at least one outside scholarly reference, answer the following:

• Provide the HP 2020 Goal
• Describe the issue and why it is important to you.
• Describe 3 programs: a federal program, a state program, AND a local program in your community that helps support improvement in this health issue.

Write a six to eight (6-8) page paper in which you:

• Evaluate the existing compensation plan to determine if it is the most
  appropriate for your company. Explain your rationale.
• Determine the most beneficial ratio of internally consistent and market
  consistent compensations systems for the company you selected.

• Evaluate the current pay structure used by your company and assess the
  recognition of employee contributions.

• Make two (2) recommendations for improving the effectiveness of the
  discretionary benefits provided by the company you selected.

• Evaluate the types of employer-sponsored retirement plans and health
  insurance programs provided by the company you selected and compare them to that
  company’s major competitors.

• Use at least three (3) quality references. Note: Wikipedia and other
  Websites do not qualify as academic resources.

Your assignment must
follow these formatting requirements:

• Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch
  margins on all sides; references must follow APA or school-specific format.
  Check with your professor for any additional instructions.

• Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s
  name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and
  the reference page are not included in the required page
  length.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this
assignment are:

• Evaluate the effectiveness of traditional bases for pay (seniority and
  merit) against incentive-based and person-focused compensation
  approaches.

• Compare and contrast internally consistent and market-competitive
  compensation systems.

• Evaluate the role of benefits in strategic compensation.

• Use technology and information resources to research issues in compensation
  management.

• Write clearly and concisely about compensation management using proper
  writing mechanics.

. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.

• Create a scenario that would fall under the strain theory.
• In the scenario, provide an explanation of each of the following:
  • The loss of the major goal
  • The presentation of the noxious stimuli
  • The removal of the positively valued stimuli
• When you have these 3 inputs of strain in your scenario, address the following:
  • How would the person in the scenario react with criminal behavior or behavior that would not be acceptable to society? Explain.
  • How could cognitive restructuring be used to prevent the person from partaking in criminal behavior? Explain.

You have to do both of them………..

Read the articles “Applications in Social Justice Counselor Training: Classroom Without Walls” and “The Multicultural Workplace: Interactive Acculturation and Intergroup Relations” and review the APA Guidelines for Providers of Psychological Services to Ethnic, Linguistic, and Culturally Diverse Populations prior to considering the following scenario.

You are a psychologist in an urban community that has seen a 200% growth in its immigrant population over the past 3 years. Eighty-seven percent of this population speaks a language other than English at home. You work for a community mental health center, which is seeing an increase in referral from this population primarily because of the children’s interactions with the school system. The children typically become bilingual quickly. The parents are typically less fluent in English than their children; however, approximately 30% of the adults in this immigrant population are fluent in English and hold advanced degrees and middle- to upper- middle class jobs. The remaining 70% primarily hold jobs that do not require higher education although many do have degrees from their country of origin. 

Based on the reading, evaluate research and practice aspects in this applied context and use elements from previous learning in your program to address the following:

• What types of staffing and training recommendations would you make for the community mental health center?
• How would you facilitate intergroup work relations among staff at the community mental health center?
• Would you support the use of the DSM-5 to diagnose clients with limited English proficiency?
• How would you evaluate whether or not your staff is competent to work with this population?
• Explain the rationales for your answers by providing evidence from the required readings.

Read the “Numbers Can be Worth a Thousand Pictures: Individual Differences in Understanding Graphical and Numerical Representations of Health-Related Information” article prior to answering. Informed decision making in the mental health and medical professions requires the ability to understand and effectively communicate statistical information.  For this discussion, address the following in your post: 

• Select one mental health disorder of your choice based on a valid diagnostic category in the DSM-5.
• Research the disorder and locate relevant statistics obtained within the past 7 years regarding overall prevalence, gender and age differences, and treatment options.
• Present this information in the discussion forum in two formats: Format 1 for individuals with high graph literacy; Format 2: for individuals with low graphic literacy but high numerical literacy.  Information regarding each of these two formats is discussed in the assigned article.
• Be sure to include your references in your discussion post, that are formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
