Provide an example of a current disease affecting your population of interest and explain what health promotion or disease prevention evidence-based strategies you would recommend and why. Explain how related data could improve your strategies to promote health and prevent disease. Support your response with relevant literature.

The increase use of illegal substances in young adults is a serious problem in the United States (U.S) and requires attention. Drug-induced psychosis has been associated with suicidal thoughts, dangerous and violent behavior, hospitalization, and arrests (MentalH, 2015). Working as mental health nurse in psychiatric setting, I have seen so many teenagers and young college students who were brought into these facilities with diagnosis of Drug-Induced Psychosis. One specifically I remember is the synthetic cathinone – stimulants commonly referred to as “Bath Salts.” Most of the young patients we got with unexplained psychosis was related to this stimulant. Treatment was difficult, and most of them never fully recovered because of the effects of the chemical on their brains. Bath salts according to the American Addiction Centers (2020) can cause psychoactive effects such as: • Paranoia and extreme anxiety • Excited delirium: agitation or violent behavior toward oneself or others • Increased sociability, similar to cocaine’s effects • Increased sex drive, similar to amphetamine’s effects • Hallucinations It is important to implement primary prevention measures at an early stage to raise awareness of the danger of illegal drugs and the risk and harm it posed to a person mental health.

This is part two of the assignment. Learners are required to identify an at-risk population, how the health risk for this population can be affected by nursing science, and the potential obstacles that may hinder implementation of health prevention and promotion activities for this particular population. General Guidelines: Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the assignment: • This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion. • Doctoral learners are required to use APA style for their writing assignments. The APA Style Guide is located in the Student Success Center. • This assignment requires that support your position by referencing six to eight scholarly resources. At least three of your supporting references must be from scholarly sources other than the assigned readings. • You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite. Refer to the LopesWrite Technical Support articles for assistance. Directions: This assignment comprises the second part of the epidemiology paper. Consult the "Data and Statistics" and Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) pages on the CDC website for current information on population health. Use this information to guide your research for this paper, although you may need to supplement your findings with additional resources. Write a 1,250-1,500-word paper that provides the following: 1. Identify an existing at-risk population. Provide biostatistical, epidemiological, or environmental data to substantiate why this population is at risk. 2. Using analyzed population data, identify a health risk within your selected at-risk population that nursing science can impact. Describe specific variables that the data are measuring and explain how the variables correlate the at-risk population to the identified health risk. 3. Identify potential barriers that may hinder the implementation of disease-prevention and health-promotion activities. Explain why these barriers may slow or impede strategies to reduce the effects of the health risk on the at-risk population. 4. Identify stakeholders and agencies with whom you may need to collaborate to implement health risk reduction strategies. Explain why you selected these collaborators and how they will contribute to your disease prevention and health promotion plan. Submit part two of the epidemiology paper with part one attached, indicating where instructor feedback was incorporated and changes or revisions were made. Part one should also include logical transitions that will connect to the ideas presented in part two to create a seamless scholarly paper. Portfolio Practice Immersion Hours: Practice immersion assignments are based on your current course objectives and are intended to be application-based learning using your real-world practice setting. These assignments earn practice immersion hours and are indicated in the assignment by a Portfolio Practice Immersion Hours statement that reminds you, the learner, to enter a corresponding case log in Typhon. Actual clock hours are entered, but the average hours associated with each practice immersion assignment is 10. You are required to complete your assignment using real-world application. Real-world application requires the use of evidence-based data, contemporary theories, and concepts presented in the course. The culmination of your assignment must present a viable application in a current practice setting. For more information on parameters for practice immersion hours, please refer to DNP resources in the DC Network. To earn portfolio practice immersion hours, enter the following after the references section of your paper: Practice Immersion Hours Completion Statement DNP-825 I, (INSERT NAME), verify that I have completed (NUMBER OF) clock hours in association with the goals and objectives for this assignment. I have also tracked said practice immersion hours in the Typhon Student Tracking System for verification purposes and will be sure that all approvals are in place from my faculty and practice mentor.
