Submit Assignment

Description

The final project in this course is to develop a multi-media presentation on a topic of your choice to a population of your choice. To develop your multi-media presentation, take a theme from Module 4: Knowledge to Practice Gaps or Evidence-based Prevention Approaches; Module 5: Reducing Stigma; or Module 6: Interprofessional Practice. You can choose any media you like (e.g., PowerPoint, Prezi, academic poster, YouTube video, photography, website, music, etc.). Remember to target your media presentation to a specific audience (youth group, school board, colleagues, parents, management team, etc.).

Make your presentation 15–20 minutes in length; it should have both an audio and a visual component. Your presentation must clearly integrate themes from this course, and identify the evidence for the standpoint that you are taking. Also, it must also be suitable for your intended audience.
