Implementation of a Health Program
The ââ¬Å"American Cancer Societyâ⬠has come up with ââ¬Å"Guidelines on Nutrition and Physical Activity for Cancer Preventionâ⬠(American Cancer Society, 2008, pp. 1 ââ¬â 11). The purpose of the aforementioned is to ââ¬Å"reduce the risk of cancerâ⬠through ââ¬Å"healthy food choicesâ⬠, as well as, ââ¬Å"physical activityâ⬠(American Cancer Society, 2008, pp. 1 ââ¬â 11).The guidelines provided addresses questions of countless individuals who are quite confused by ââ¬Å"several studies or news reportsâ⬠which are not usually peer-reviewed or not really ââ¬Å"officialâ⬠(American Cancer Society, 2008, pp. 1 ââ¬â 11).Although answering the questions would help greatly, this program of the ââ¬Å"American Cancer Societyâ⬠should still undergo a process of implementation so that people will be motivated to look deeper into the guidelines, as well as, to practice them in order to ââ¬Å"reduce the risk of cancerâ⬠(American C ancer Society, 2008, pp. 1 ââ¬â 11).Before these guidelines are to be fully implemented, there are certain factors needed to be considered (American Cancer Society, 2008, pp. 1 ââ¬â 11). Some of these factors are the following: 1) leading the implementation; 2) time frame; 3) staff qualifications; 4) staff responsibilities; 5) training; 6) supervision/support; 7) funds; and 8) advocacy (American Cancer Society, 2008, pp. 1 ââ¬â 11).Leading the ImplementationIt is very important to assign an individual to ââ¬Å"lead the implementationâ⬠(Illness Management and Recovery, 2003, pp. 1 ââ¬â 6). The leader should be well aware of the program or guidelines and should have mastered all aspects of the guidelines (Illness Management and Recovery, 2003, pp. 1 ââ¬â 6). He or she should also be supported by those in a higher position, as well as, respected by the subordinates (Illness Management and Recovery, 2003, pp. 1 ââ¬â 6).Time FrameAfter a leader is chosen fo r the implementation, ââ¬Å"time-frameâ⬠should also be settled (Illness Management and Recovery, 2003, pp. 1 ââ¬â 6). This entails the time needed in training those who will play a role in the implementation of the program (Illness Management and Recovery, 2003, pp. 1 ââ¬â 6). For instance, three months is required to extensively educate and motivate the individuals who will play a part in the implementation (Illness Management and Recovery, 2003, pp. 1 ââ¬â 6).
