Introduction
5%
Signpost the reader to what the problem is, for which population
and your proposed theory based solution.
Problem Definition
10%
 Outline why this is a problem for your chosen population –
why does this matter; considering cause(s), risk and
protective factors, relevant data about prevalence.
 The fact you have identified a specific context will allow you
to draw upon global/national and then local data to provide
a more critical definition of the problem, together with any
relevant research and policy guidance.
Theory Based Solution
50%
Present your solution to the problem, using one theoretical
framework to critically describe the strengths and limitations of
the solution, including:
2
o assessing the evidence for it
o ethical aspects of the solution
o its likely impact on inequalities
Implementation
and Evaluation
30%
Discuss implementation and evaluation of your solution, using the
RE-AIM framework. The framework will give you a methodical
and systematic approach to considering potential challenges
which reflect the specific issues of your chosen country and
population.
You may wish to tabulate the RE-AIM steps so as outline the key
points, but if you employ a table, do not assume the table to be
self-explanatory and ensure you provide some analysis of the
challenges and possible mitigation strategies.
Conclusion
5%
Summarize the key arguments underpinning your recommended
solution, and potential caveats to implementation and evaluation.
No new information should be included in the conclusion.
