(Public Health Open Pressbook (Textbook))

Intervention summary statement

I will help develop and write a public health open press book textbook that will be aimed towards public
health students who are learning about the concepts of public health. The purpose of the textbook is for
many different reasons. Some reasons include students having the ability to have free access to a textbook,
not only students have access but anyone who wants to learn about public health will have access to the
textbook. Also, there currently aren't any updated public health open press books that are available that
discuss today's issues. Students would be able to read about today's experiences in public health, instead of
reading outdated information. This textbook could help students learn more about public health, and it
could help them have a better idea of what type of career they would have in public health. I think it’s
essential to include every foundation of public health because this could really help individuals learn more
information. I will have meetings with my supervisor, Dr. Garner every week, so I will be able to continue to
work on this project. Also, I will conduct research about the topics discussed in the press book, organize
activities and assignments for KINE2350 that will correlate with the textbook. Everything I do will
potentially be used towards the open press book, and I will rely on research to help me with the process.
Also, I will create a course map for the chapters that I choose to focus on. All of these tasks will correspond
with creating and writing the open press book. Everything I work on will go towards starting the process of
putting together a textbook. Overall, I will work on the press book and do the parts I’m assigned from
February to May 2022. I will work on and achieve the goals I set for myself, towards helping form the public
health press book.

Community analysis

Currently, there's no intro to public health open textbooks upon conducting research on the open pres
sbook (OER) website. I found that there were many public health textbooks, but they didn't focus on the
introduction of public health. That could be an issue of someone looking into learning about public health,
and they can’t find a textbook to learn about the foundations of public health. The pandemic caused an
influx of interest in public health, and people might not have the ability to pay for a textbook. Therefore
our textbook will be free and available for anyone to read, even though it will be heavily used in the intro
level public health course at UTA. Also, the public health textbooks on OER doesn't go into great detail

about public health, instead many of the open press books focus on specific parts of public health. Also,
currently, there aren't any updated open textbooks that focus on today's public health issues. For instance,
despite there being research conducted about COVID, on the OER website there aren't any textbooks that
mention COVID. Also, the information that will be presented in the press book will be factual, and could
potentially reduce the spread of misinformation. This will help more people learn about public health, and
as a result, have more efforts into spreading factual information. Also, this could help spread positive
information about the efforts of public health to the public from students. Being informed about public
health could help the public become more aware, and could bring a positive outlook. Another benefit of
the textbook is that not only will students learn, but there will be activities associated. This will help
students learn even more by working on activities for the chapters. The more likely students work on
activities when learning, the more likely they will collect the information.

● Create a course map for chapters
● Write a letter for Dr. Garner (discuss lessons learned)

Intervention research
Summarise the intelligence from previous interventions (intervention research) that demonstrates you
have considered the learnings from previous effort. How has this informed your strategy mix?

Limit to 250 words

Strategy mix
Summarise the rationale and describe the strategy mix
● Describe strategy mix
● Do strategies fit with objectives (what is the logic model)
● Why do we think they have merit and are likely to work?
● Are strategies supported by intervention research evidence?

Evaluation Plan

Describe the evaluation plan, specifically describing methods, how evaluation relates to goals and objectives
and the types of evaluation:
● Process
● Impact
● Outcome
● Capacity
● Economic evaluation.

What are the evaluation research questions?

What theoretical frameworks are used?

How are we accounting for confounding effects on evaluation results?

(intervention vs control comparisons etc)
