Imari's project proposal

Monday, July 12, 2010
Background:
Topic; Survey/pamphlet
People with diabetes were the main reason why this idea was formed.
Diabetes is an important issue because many people seem to over look it because they feel it’s not as severe as other diseases, but its known that many people actually have type 2 diabetes. And it’s known that people with diabetes need a lot of health maintenance and that’s where my project comes into perspective.
The purpose of making this pamphlet is to inform this neighborhood about the good restaurants, gyms, clinics, etc around Commercial Avenue. This is important because it can motivate people that have been meaning to live a healthier life and shine a light on what’s already provided in their neighborhood. Also it would provide information about the best and closest options.


Objective:
What I’m hoping to get done is to come up with a survey and hand it out. From there evaluate people’s responses and make a pamphlet.

Plan of action:
My plan is to use the information from the survey to help me choose a couple of places to research about. Then after that visit some of those local businesses and ask some questions that aren’t advertised. Also talk to Doc. Jones and ask her for her ideas and suggestions. Finally put the pamphlet together.

Schedule:
Week 3- Make and complete survey.
Week 4- Hand out survey and see what I get from that.
Week 5- Research/ talk to doctor Jones.
Week 6- Put pamphlet together.

    I would like to know if there is a specific reason for you making a pamphlet. Also do you feel that the people would look at the pamphlet depending on the support you get. My opinion is that older people may listen to a younger generation if the show concern in their health.(suggestion)

    You seem to have a well organized plan! I anticipate the results of your survey and the finished pamphlet. I am sure that your pamphlet will enlighten people in the South Chicago neighborhood!

    Thanks for posting your project plan, Imari! There are a couple doctors at the University of Chicago, Dr. Dan Johnson and Dr. Stacy Lindau, who are working on mapping community resources on the South Side. I don't think they are working in South Chicago yet, but it might be interesting to talk with them about their approach to identifying community resources, and the kind of information they think people need to know about services provided.

    To Tevin, yes there is a specific reason for me making this pamphlet. That would be because I have been informed that there are a lot of people in the south chicago neighborhood that have diabetes and I just want to provide them with the information they need. Also a pamphlet would be easier for the doctors to hand to their patients because that is our main goal of distribution.

    Imari, I would love to see a draft of the brochure before you get it printed. I look forward to having a chance to use it to educate my patients about community resources. Let me know if I can help in any way
