The PRECEDE/PROCEED Model
The PRECEDE-PROCEED Model, is an eight-phase framework used by public health professionals. It provides a comprehensive plan for assessing health and quality of life needs as well as provides a method for designing, implementing, and evaluating health interventions and/or programs. Originally, the model only included the PRECEDE portion of the acronym, but in the 1980’s it became necessary to expand the model to be more comprehensive and to provide a stronger emphasis on prevention. Therefore, PROCEED became an additional part of the acronym. PRECEDE stands for “predisposing, reinforcing, and enabling constructs in educational/environmental diagnosis and evaluation” (Sharma & Atri, 2010, p. 91). PROCEED stands for …show more content…
It uses epidemiology to do this. Descriptive epidemiology is used to examine factors such as time, place, and population attributes, by collecting data such as mortality, morbidity, and disability rates. Analytic epidemiology is also used to examine determinants of health by identifying behaviors and environments and then categorizing them by order of importance and changeability. Behaviors can be of three types, which are “proximal, or direct actions affecting health; actions influencing the health of others; and distal actions affecting the organizational or policy environment” (Sharma & Atri, 2010, p. …show more content…
After finding a need, a program should be put in place to ensure that all children in the community receive oral rehydration therapy and thus the therapy would eliminate mortalities caused by diarrhea and diseases such as cholera. According to the World Health Organization (2017), “Diarrheal disease is the second leading cause of death in children under five years old, and is responsible for killing around 525 000 children every year.”
Phase 2: Epidemiological Assessment – A search to find the underlying cause of the situation should be pinpointed. Causes for children needing oral rehydration would be outbreaks of cholera, bacterial infections caused by consuming contaminated food or water (Campylobacter, Salmonella, Shigella, and Escherichia coli), viral infections (rotavirus, Norwalk virus, cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex virus, and viral hepatitis), and parasites (Giardia lamblia, Entamoeba histolytica, and Cryptosporidium). All factors such as time, place, and population attributes should be taken into consideration and data should be collected regarding any relationships between the dehydration and mortality, morbidity, and disability rates.
