You are very concerned about the number of homicides and suicides you have seen recently in the local newspaper. You feel that something needs to be done to address this and other issues which lead to the deaths of both the young and old in your community.

The State's statistical data shows the following as the leading causes of death for age group you are concerned about.

List ideas for interventions (activities / programs) that can be incorporated in your community to improve these numbers. (Do not list personal behaviors that need to be changed -- list what you can organize to help as the Community Health Educator to encourage the changing of personal behaviors. Keep in mind that you cannot mandate that schools or communities do or change things. Keep your ideas simple and do-able! i.e. create a cooking class to teach about eating healthy.)

Come up with at least 3 interventions for each cause of death.

Be sure to tailor your interventions to the age group.

Adult (45-64)

1. Malignant Neoplasms

2. Diseases of the Heart

3. Chronic Lower Respiratory Diseases

4. Cerebrovascular Disease

5. Diabetes Mellitus
