Urban Metropolitan

Case description: You are a public health practitioner working in Australia or Overseas. The Communicable Diseases Department of your State ( or Local) Government are asking for expressions of interest from public health practitioners such as yourself for initiatives aimed at controlling the spread of STIs in a local community. The funding for these initiatives is very broad and can cover clinical services, health education, public health campaigns, health promotion, legislative initiatives or social policy changes. The funding offered is significant and would be enough to establish an impressive health initiative. Many different initiatives are likely to be considered in a broad-based approach to the control of STIs.     Instructions: 1. Title of Project 2. Context, setting and role of stakeholders: explain why you selected this community eg Melbourne ie urban metropolitan ethnically diverse young community or rural African community in Tanzania (literally a few sentences). Who are the stakeholders, describe their involvement and role. 3. Aims and Objectives of your Project 4. Background to your type of project with reference to STI control theory and why the  approach you have taken is likely to be successful (eg clinical services and why this may be helpful or public health awareness campaign and why this will work ). Discuss any local or national policies that may be related. 5. Justification and evidence for your project ie evidence that it is likely to be effective in achieving its objectives (eg use other similar, ideally published, studies or interventions that have been evaluated as examples) 6. Methodology of initiative (ie how are you going to do it, including evidence or efficacy if not already discussed above). Highlight any relevant difficulties there may be with implementation. Discuss how you could address these. 7. Brief plan of how the project will be evaluated
