operationalize any specific terms used for your topic.
Prevalence Rates – How many people are affected by this issue? Provide empirical estimates of
its prevalence. Are any subgroups impacted by this issue more than others? Explain how these
populations are disproportionately impacted including a detailed explanation of the
disproportionality.
Historic and Social Context Briefly explain the history of your topic. Then, explain how the
topic has come to be defined/operationalized at micro, mezzo, and macro levels.
Local Impact/Response What is the local impact of your topic? Who in the local community is
addressing this topic? Are there other programs or agencies in your community serving this
population? If so, who are they? What would you do differently than they are doing? Should
your effort be a partnership? If so, explain why you should partner with them and how you
would go about it. Which other programs are clients most likely to interact with related to their
challenges?
Theory – Identify and explain one HBSE theory that undergirds your intervention or informs
work on this topic/with this population. Choose just one theory so that you can cover it in depth,
as your competency in explaining the role of theory in your project is being assessed. Finally, be
sure to apply and explain a social justice lens/framework if your selected HBSE theory lacks this
perspective.
