1. Assessment of Community-Level Barriers
Assessment of Community-Level BarriersAssessment of Community-Level BarriersFor the
second written assignment of the course, you will continue in the design of your proposed
model program by demonstrating your understanding of vulnerable mothers and children
challenges, which negatively impact this group’s health and well-being. Based on this week’s
research, conduct an assessment of the barriers, limitations, and other distinguishing
features, as they exist within your community.Prepare a recap of the model program for
your community that you originally shared in the week 2 written assignment of vulnerable
mothers and children (Assignment is attached). As stated in the Week Two directions
(directions attached), changes to the potential program can be made as you research and
develop the focus of the program.Analyze and discuss at least three critical barriers that
impact the health and well-being of vulnerable mothers and children; one must be a micro-
level (individual) barrier that is financial, one must be a macro-level (community/state)
barrier that relates to access and funding for care, and the third barrier may be one of your
choosing.Discuss at least one proposed solution for each barrier. Your solution for the micro
barrier must include an analysis of various potential funding options (both independent and
integrated). Your solution for the macro barrier must include an analysis of financing
resources for health care.Research and analyze the regulatory, legal, ethical, and
accreditation requirements and issues for the service(s) offered in your proposed
program. Discuss how each will impact the management of the program.Your assignment
should be a minimum of three pages in length (excluding title and reference pages) and
should include a minimum of three scholarly sources cited according to APA guidelines
Please note: All assignments in this course are progressive; therefore you should use the
same population selected in your Week Two assignment (vulnerable women and children).
The Week Two assignment’s contents do not need to be re-submitted with this
assignment.ORDER NOW FOR ORIGINAL, PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPERSYou must proofread
your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker;
failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to
suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will
be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and
make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your
paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected
mistakes.Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or
compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is

2. better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress
it into fewer pages.Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing,
increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any
other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable,
wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.The paper must be neatly formatted,
double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When
submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to
read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
