Module 3 Discussion 1
PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT: OBJECTIVES, GOALS, MISSION, AND COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
When planning a health promotion program, the behaviors and conditions you seek to address must be clearly articulated early on. Working with community members to develop a clearly defined mission and specific and measurable goals is an important step.
To prepare for this Discussion, consider an HIV prevention program being proposed by a professor at a local university. The program is being funded by a national HIV/AIDS service organization. The professor has also identified the following stakeholders: two community organizations active in HIV prevention, the local health department, and various community members.

WEEKLY RESOURCES
BY DAY 5
Post your assessment of whether or not you expect the identified stakeholders will have difficulty setting program goals, and explain why. Identify additional stakeholders that should be involved in the planning process and explain why you chose them. Describe the collaboration strategies you would use to avoid turf struggles and ensure that all stakeholders have a sense of ownership over the program. Explain why these strategies would work.
This Discussion will be available from Day 1 through Day 14 of this module. While you are required to submit your initial post by Day 5, you are encouraged to post early. Once you have submitted your initial post, start responding to your colleagues by providing your assessment of the choice of stakeholders and collaboration strategies proposed by your peers. Also, provide a justification for your assessment. You must begin responding to your colleagues by no later than Day 7 and should continue to interact frequently with your colleagues through Day 14.
