Note: The main categories for a fishbone diagram may conform to standards (e.g., people, technology, etc.), but in public health, you can define these categories in a number of ways. For example, fishbone diagram categories may be tailored to a specific area related to the issue. In public health, this could be many things—such as listing social factors, behavioral factors, or even political climate. Sometimes the more defined the category, the more relevant this diagram may be to decision-making.
Recommended Technology
For the fishbone diagram, it is recommended that you create a free student account on LucidChart. Once you have a free account on LucidChart, start a new document. This will take you to the template gallery. In the template gallery, use “fishbone” as a search term. Select a basic fishbone diagram of your choosing.
Note: Alternatively, if you know how to use SmartArt in Microsoft PowerPoint, you may do so.
Prompt
For this discussion, you will be using a systems-thinking tool to better understand a public health issue. To submit your main discussion post, please complete the parts below:
Part 1—The Problem Statement: Identifying a public health issue
Visit a website that lists examples of evidence-based public health efforts (i.e., programs, interventions, etc.). Suggested websites include the following:
Community Guide in Action
Database of Interventions Glossary
Find a specific (i.e., singular) public health effort on the website. In finding an example of a evidence-based public health effort, you may need to explore the website beyond the links provided. You can use the search bar in the upper right corner of the site to search for an intervention with certain characteristics.
After identifying a specific evidence-based public health effort, please review that program/intervention carefully.
Identify the public health issue the program/intervention has attempted to address.
Explain this public health issue within a single sentence—called the problem statement. (Ideally, the problem statement should be less than 10 words.)
Part 2—The Systems-Thinking Tool: Understanding “cause and effect” using a fishbone diagram
Using the problem statement from Part 1, build a fishbone diagram that describes the relationships between the problem (i.e., the effect) and systemic variables (i.e., the causes). You will refer to the intervention that you selected—in addition to a review of the literature—throughout the completion of the fishbone diagram. Please attach a completed fishbone diagram of this public health issue as an “open source” file type (e.g., .pdf, .jpg, .png, etc.).
Part 3—Narrative Summary of Strategic-Thinking: Explaining your completed fishbone diagram
In 100–125 words, summarize the findings from your completed fishbone diagram.
As a suggestion, you may find it helpful to format your main post, as follows:
Problem Statement: [insert your statement]
Strategic-Thinking Tool: [insert or attach file of fishbone diagram]
Summary: [insert your explanation of fishbone diagram]
In all posts, please make certain to include in-text citations throughout and a reference list.
Collaborate with your colleagues on this case study within your reply posts. Please further the discussion by offering suggestions, elaborating on points made, presenting additional evidence/information, asking open-ended questions, etc.
