Compare and contrast the four categories of community-based interventions.
In Module 1, you began your work as the head of the Maternal, Infant, and Reproductive Health Task Force in Centervale. You did this by learning more about adolescent pregnancy and the behavioral, cultural, and environmental risk factors associated with this health issue. In this assignment, your attention turns to community issues. Your task force has representatives from several community organizations. You know that in addition to your focus on an individual-level change, you will need to provide the group with information about community-level change to impact the adolescent pregnancy issue in Centervale.
Directions:
- Read the editorial entitled “Community-based Intervention” in which the authors recommend four typologies or approaches to community-based projects (McLeroy, Norton, Kegler, Burdine, & Sumaya, 2003). Consider how each of these typologies might be applicable to adolescent pregnancy prevention in Centervale.
- Download and review the “Demographic Background on Centervale.”
(See attachment)
- Prepare a memo for the task force on the following:
- Compare and contrast the four categories of community-based interventions.
- Select two typologies to present as options to the task force and explain in detail how these can be applied.
- Identify one typology for recommendation, giving reasons in support.
Your final product will be in a MS Word document of approximately 3–4 pages. You should utilize at least 3 scholarly sources beyond the course readings in your research. Your paper should be written in a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources; and display accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation.
Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

Demographic Background on Centervale
Recent census data have revealed changes in the demographics of many states and regions throughout the United States. Centervale’s demographic shifts have mirrored that of the rest of the country, with a 17% decrease in the white population and an increase in Hispanics and African American populations.
Specifically, the population is approximately 67% white, 16% Hispanic, 10% African American, and 5% Asian or Native American. The population has a bimodal distribution with more of the population in the younger (children and teens) and older (age 60 and above) age categories than in the middle age group (40 to 50). This presents some important challenges for public health in terms of preventive care, screening, and healthcare for the oldest and youngest segments of the population. A growing number of teenagers has created problems related to teen risk behavior as noted in the case study.
