nursing mental health research health policy minority groupsIn this opportunity, your company would get the chance to work with our 4th year Nursing students to evaluate existing interventions and services across Canada pertaining to a priority population. The ultimate aim is to create innovative and evidence-based social media and communication strategies that target multidisciplinary stakeholders and are aimed at promoting health equity and inequality in priority populations.
Students collaborate with a negotiated community agency via the Careers & Experience office at MacEwan University to explore agency priorities, evaluate existing interventions, programs and services pertaining to selected priority populations. As an industry partner, your organization will receive a final research report with a logic model and a communication tool. These communication artifacts will vary depending on the intended audience and purpose of the communication but could be:
- An infographic
- Social media strategy
- Case for support (for advocacy or funding leverage)
- Video clip
- Web page
