•Select one of the behavioral risk factors from the Healthy Population 2010 Objectives (listed in Table 7.1 on p. 128 of the course text) -Tobacco use
•Using credible websites, research how this risk factor is affecting state of Arizona
•With your selected risk factor in mind, review the information on the Population-Based Intervention Model on pp. 136–140 in the course text, Health Care Delivery in the United States. In particular, focus on the concept of downstream, midstream, and upstream interventions. Consider at least one intervention that could be put into place at each stage.

Post a description of the behavioral risk factor you selected and how this factor is impacting your community or state. Using the Population-Based Intervention Model, suggest at least one intervention that could be put into place at each stage (downstream, midstream, and upstream) to ensure that a health prevention program addressing the behavioral risk factor would have a greater chance at succeeding. Justify why each intervention you identified would be effective.

References

References must be in APA formatting — although it is nearly impossible to achieve the hanging indent in this format. Double-check your APA resources for common mistakes/ issues — such as citing websites, media, and online resources. For each reference, there needs to be a corresponding citation in the text and vice versa (they need to match!).
