Please read the Week 3 assignments now to understand how they build on this assignment. It is suggested that you schedule your interview at the agency as soon as you can. This week, complete the following:
Describe the vulnerable population that you selected in Week 1, why you selected that population, and what characteristics make that population vulnerable, as well as their diverse life experiences, perspectives, and backgrounds.
Using the statistics you have found on your chosen population, identify a predominant health care issue that is a concern with this vulnerable population. Describe primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention interventions related to this health issue. Cite the scholarly primary source of your statistics in APA format.
Based on your research of this population and the identified health care issue, identify 3 potential education topics they might benefit from, and why.
