Health Promotion Plan Presentation Script
Hello, and welcome to my health promotion plan presentation. In this presentation, I will focus on the educational session for reducing and managing teenage pregnancies among African American female teenagers. I will also present and evaluate the educational session outcomes and their attainment of agreed-upon health goals in collaboration with participants. The presentation will further cover changes to make to the educational sessions and how the changes might improve future outcomes. Next, I will evaluate the educational session outcomes against the Healthy People 2030 objectives and leading related health indicators and recommend changes to better align the educational session with Healthy People 2030 objectives and leading health indicators.
Introduction
Most, if not all, teenage pregnancies are unintended. Despite the economic and social progress achieved in the United States, teenage pregnancies and teen birth rates remain an issue of public health concern, especially among teenagers from African American backgrounds. According to statistics presented by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in 2021, despite the drop in teenage pregnancies in the U.S following focused efforts to manage the problem, the number of African American teenage pregnancies and birth rates still remains double the number of pregnancies and birth rates among white teenagers. These disparities in teenage pregnancies in the U.S have been linked to the existing racial inequalities in the education and socioeconomic system, disparities in access to sex education and other support services such as the provision of pregnancy prevention tools, the lack of social support within black neighbours, as well as the living arrangements for most black teenagers majorly growing up in single-mother households or foster homes. The household context among African American families especially growing up in a single-mother family has been linked to engagement in risky sexual behavior during adolescence (Steele et al., 2020).
Health Promotion Plan For Teen Pregnancy Among African Americans
A health promotion plan is necessary to reduce disparities in racial teenage pregnancies and teen birth rates in the U.S. The health promotion plan will include education sessions that will focus on strategies that can be adopted at a community level to reduce African American teenage pregnancies, identify the barriers that exist at the neighbourhood level that influence access to sex education, birth control services, as well as pre-natal and post-natal care for Black teen mothers. The education sessions are designed to identify these barriers and offer possible solutions. The health promotion plan will also improve social awareness across African American neighbourhoods and the community on the generational impact of teenage pregnancies and high teen birth rates. It will also seek to improve sexual abstinence among African American teenage girls and boys.
Agreed-upon Health Goals In Collaboration With Participants
During a consultation exercise with the participants in the health promotion plan, a number of goals were identified and agreed upon. These included the reduction of the rates of all teenage pregnancies and birth rates among African American teenagers across the U.S, a focus on the social and economic status of affected communities to identify barriers to access to sex education for Black teenagers and care for pregnant African American teenagers, and the community level efforts to improve the accessibility of sex education and birth control services across Black neighbourhoods. Other agreed-upon goals include the development of African American youth support programs as well as a focus on educating male and female African American teenagers on the importance of abstinence and the practice of safe sex.
Educational Session Outcomes
The intended outcome of the health promotion plan is to reduce the rate of pregnancy and birth among African American teenagers. The educational session is designed in line with the agreed-upon health goals of the health promotion plan for teen pregnancies among African American teenagers. The educational session outcomes will include a comprehensive understanding of abstinence and contraceptive options, an improved community-wide understanding of the consequences of teenage pregnancies, the identification and clarification of the roles of the community and family in the prevention efforts of teen pregnancies in the African American community, and the development of basic coping skills and self-efficacy skills among African American teenagers to improve abstinence and reduction in risky sexual behaviours.
Evaluation Of Educational Session Outcomes Against Agreed-upon Health Goals
Health promotion plans and related educational sessions require evaluation to ensure effectiveness. The evaluation of the educational session focuses on the engagement of the participants, resources assessment, evaluation questions, data collection and analysis, and observation of results. The post-session outcome surveys help identify the level of participants’ engagement and participation in promoting teen pregnancy prevention and their understanding of the session content and program focus. A major outcome is the participants’ awareness of existing support services and the accessibility of the services after the session. Other educational session outcomes related to the attainment of agreed-upon health goals in collaboration with participants include the community’s capacity to promote teen pregnancy awareness and how the session’s content aligns with the health promotion plan’s goals.
Aspects Of The Education Session To Change
Major aspects of the educational sessions that I would change are the mode of session delivery and means of communication. The session would adopt a tech-based approach that includes the use of mobile and social media platforms to promote awareness of teen pregnancy and prevention among the African American community and the collective U.S population. A study by Ingram et al. (2020) suggests the use of a mobile-based platform to prevent unintended pregnancies among young and emerging African American adults, citing that it improves access to sexual health resources. Another aspect of the session I would change is the approach to training, from educating the entire community to educating community representatives to allow the continuation of the health promotion plan at the community level. Finally, the educational session needs to shift focus from outcomes to impacts in the long term.
How Changes Might Improve Future Educational Session Outcomes
Changing the mentioned aspects of the educational session will significantly impact the outcomes of future sessions and health promotion programs. Adopting a mobile-based platform for teenage pregnancy prevention taps into the potential of the popularity of the internet, smartphones, and mobile apps. This will improve information access, sharing, and a better understanding of contraception and birth control methods among teenagers. A short-term impact test of a teen pregnancy prevention application called Pulse as a self-led intervention improves access to sex and contraception information, sexual responsibility, and confidence in the use of birth control methods (Manlove et al., 2020). A mobile-based platform will also have a wider community effect than physical education sessions. Also, training representatives support the continuation of the health promotion plan and community education. This will create a supportive environment and improve the capacity of the community and individuals to promote, reduce, and prevent teenage pregnancies. It also encourages community-level action to reduce teenage pregnancies in the African American community.
Educational Session Outcomes Towards Healthy People 2030 Objectives
Healthy People 2030 (HP2030) has 5 birth control objectives focused on teenagers’ birth control and family planning services. The objectives focus on increasing the proportion of adolescents who use birth control the first time they have sex, who get formal sex education before the age of 18 years, who have never had sex, adolescent females who used effective birth control the last time they had sex, and adolescent males who used a condom the last time they had sex. The educational session outcomes add to the efforts to achieve these objectives by improving the number of sexually active Black teenagers engaging in safe and protected sex, those with access to sex education. Additionally, the session outcomes improve sex abstinence among African American teenagers as well as the number of African American teenagers with access to effective birth control services.
Recommended Changes To Align Session With Healthy People 2030 Objectives And Health Indicators
Reorienting the education session means expanding the role of the session in health promotion and its approaches, exploring the role of culture in teenage pregnancies among African American communities, and focusing on the social and economic needs of African Americans and the influence of such needs on increasing teenage pregnancies. Reorienting health services involves clarifying and tailoring service purpose and approach to the context of health needs with an impact on consumer engagement (Gardner et al., 2019). Therefore, for the future session to align with Health People 2030 objectives on birth control among Black teenagers, it will need to further include the community’s influence and cultural and social economic factors on teenage pregnancy. It should also focus on empowering female and male Black teenagers.
Conclusion
The U.S has made significant achievements toward reducing teenage pregnancies. However, the rate of teen pregnancies among African American teenagers remains high. Using community-centred educational sessions can reduce Black teenage pregnancies and birth rates. These sessions must be aligned with community-agreed health goals to achieve desired outcomes. The use of mobile-based platforms has been found to improve educational session outcomes and move towards achieving support for HP2030 teenage birth control objectives. However, for the educational session to achieve a long-term impact on reducing and preventing African American teenage pregnancies, a reorientation of the sessions is required.
Thank you.

Introduction
Health education is any combination of learning experiences designed to help community individuals, families, and aggregates improve their health by increasing knowledge or influencing attitudes (WHO, n.d.). Education is key to health promotion, disease prevention, and disaster preparedness. The health indicator framework identified in Healthy People 2030 prompts action in health services accessibility, clinical preventive services, environmental quality, injury or violence prevention, maternal, infant, and child health, mental health, nutrition, substance abuse prevention, and tobacco use cessation or prevention.
Nurses provide accurate evidence-based information and education in formal and informal settings. They draw upon evidence-based practice to provide health promotion and disease prevention activities to create social and physical environments conducive to improving and maintaining community health. When provided with the tools to be successful, people demonstrate lifestyle changes (self-care) that promote health and help reduce readmissions. They are better able to tolerate stressors, including environmental changes, and enjoy a better quality of life. In times of crisis, a resilient community is a safer community (Flanders, 2018; Healthy People 2030, n.d.).
This assessment provides an opportunity for you to apply teaching and learning concepts to the presentation of a health promotion plan.
