As I have posted on other blogs and as a review,<br />primary prevention seeks methods to avoid the occurrence of disease, secondary methods seek to improve the treatment of existing disease and tertiary methods seek to reduce the negative impacts of existing disease. For the purposes of this project, you can think to substitute "problem" for disease.<br /><br />With regard to food deserts, I would argue that "addressing food deserts" focuses your problem but does not clearly identify an intervention. The follow-up question to addressing food deserts will be: how will you go about increasing farmers markets and what will you do during seasons where there is not produce in the region?<br /><br />Good job. I look forward to reading your next post.<br /><br />Publichealth_Weaver_Gregory(TA)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00362466103919673148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6672883202660881537.post-6418771847914220802013-04-21T15:12:34.973-07:002013-04-21T15:12:34.973-07:00Nice job on your post! I thought that all of your ...Nice job on your post! I thought that all of your interventions were really solid and practical measures that could potentially be introduced in Baltimore. One thing I was wondering about was the effectiveness of the program that's already in place. Can or should this program be expanded? How does it rate in the decision matrix? But I did like the intervention you chose. I think this could even be expanded a bit by having the farmer's markets accept food stamps. I believe the one on Greenmount does this and it could get more people to actually purchase the food. Great job again!Abby H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09387414837286036235noreply@blogger.com
