Description
Directions: (a) Think: If you were a health educator, counselor or other health professional and a client, consumer or another person in need came to you with a health problem, and you wanted to refer them for help, what would you need? Would you want to be familiar with the resource/referral? Is it still in operation? Is there a reliable contact person (if applicable)? What information is needed for the consumer to contact the agency: address, phone number, email, URL, contact person, transportation provided, health insurance accepted, etc.? (b) Collect 7 items for your health topic.
Confirm that the items are currently active. You may not include catalogs, journal articles, magazines, papers or class notes, textbooks or copied pages from textbooks. You may NOT include news and information web resources like WebMD. You may include a variety of health agencies, support programs, and community-based organizations. I am especially interested in places clients can go to. Be specific. (c) Prepare your 8-page kit with a title page with your topic and any other relevant information you deem necessary to introduce your kit. Then prepare a page for each resource and list the resource title, how to access the resource and whatever information you as the referring agent and the consumer might need. For each resource, write a blurb of 100-200 words identifying and describing the resource, explaining how it is appropriate for the population selected and what it provides. Evaluation Criteria (See Rubric Below): • five different types of resources – 7 resources total • appropriateness of materials for selected population• usefulness of resources
• a variety of different types of materials/resources are selected • quality, credibility and proximity of resources • currency of materials (2015 and newer) or evidence of recent confirmation • blurb is descriptive and informative • organization, ease of finding materials
