Introduction This project is aimed at developing an intervention which is necessary for the prevention of hearth diseases and stroke in Collier County. According to the statistical data, presented by the Health Planning Council of Southwest Florida (2013), these health problems are among the leading causes of death in this particular community. Overall, the chosen topic is of great interest to nursing professionals whose work is related to public health. These medical workers can significantly reduce the impact of these diseases on the population, by urging people to undergo screening and adopt healthy lifestyles (Goudreau & Smolenski, 2013, p. 104). This project will be based on the framework which is known as MAP-IT (Mobilize, Assess, Plan, Implement,Track). This method is useful because it promotes various stakeholders who may be affected a medical program; for example, one can speak about patients, nurses, and hospital administrators. The proposed strategies will be based on the evaluation of physical and social factors affecting the overall health of Collier County. These are the main questions that should be examined. The collection of necessary information and identification of the target population In order to implement this program effectively, one has to collect different types of data. For instance, it is critical to identify the groups that are vulnerable to cardiovascular diseases and stroke. Secondly, much attention should be paid to the prevalence of these health problems in Collier County. As far as heart diseases are concerned, one should focus on males aged between 35 and 64 as the main at-risk group (Pampel & Pauley, 2004, p. 91). Furthermore, one should bear in mind that smokers and former smokers are more exposed to the risk of this disease (Pampel & Pauley, 2004, p. 91). Additionally, one should bear in mind that age is also an important risk factor for stroke. For example, people aged above 50 are more exposed to this threat (Torre, 2013, p. 66). Furthermore, it is important to mention that smoking and excessive alcohol consumption can contribute to the onset of this disease (Torre, 2013, p. 66). As it has been said before, heart disease is one of the factors that increase mortality in this neighborhood. Nevertheless, one should bear in mind that African-American population is at a greater risk of stroke (Health Planning Council of Southwest Florida, 2013, p. 14). This information is vital for identifying the target audience of this program. Mobilization of the coalition It is possible to identify several individuals and organizations that can be willing to participate in this program. In particular, one should speak about hospital administrators and head nurses working in the medical institutions located in Collier County. For example, one can mentions such institutions as NCH Downtown Naples Hospitals, Health Park Medical Center, or Lee Memorial Hospital. The employees of these organizations are fully aware of the dangers posed by various cardiovascular diseases and stroke. Furthermore, these people will take part in the implementation of outreach program. Apart from that, one should consider such an organization as Collier County
