The growth, development, and learned behaviors that occur during the first year of infancy have a direct effect on the individual throughout a lifetime. For this assignment, research an environmental factor that poses a threat to the health or safety of infants and develop a health promotion that can be presented to caregivers.

Create a 10-12 slide PowerPoint health promotion, with speaker notes, that outlines a teaching plan. For the presentation of your PowerPoint, use Loom to create a voice over or a video. Include an additional slide for the Loom link at the beginning, and an additional slide for references at the end.

In developing your PowerPoint, take into consideration the health care literacy level of your target audience, as well as the demographic of the caregiver/patient (socioeconomic level, language, culture, and any other relevant characteristic of the caregiver) for which the presentation is tailored.

Include the following in your presentation:

1. Describe the selected environmental factor. Explain how the environmental factor you selected can potentially affect the health or safety of infants.
2. Create a health promotion plan that can be presented to caregivers to address the environmental factor and improve the overall health and well-being of infants.
3. Offer recommendations on accident prevention and safety promotion as they relate to the selected environmental factor and the health or safety of infants.
4. Offer examples, interventions, and suggestions from evidence-based research. At least three scholarly resources are required. Two of the three resources must be peer-reviewed and no more than 6 years old.
5. Provide readers with two community resources, a national resource, and a Web-based resource. Include a brief description and contact information for each resource.

Solution:

The environment factor chosen for presentation is air pollution. This problem is mainly caused my toxic pollutants in the air. Among these air pollutants are benzene from gasoline, tetrachloroethylene from dry cleaners, methylene chloride (a product used in industries as a solvent), asbestos, dioxin, metals e.g. mercury, toluene, and lead. According to the 2020 state of air report by the American Lung Association (ALA) (2020), in 2016 to 2018, a significant proportion f the American population were residing in areas with unhealthy air pollution levels including unhealthy ozone days, more day of particle pollution, and a high level of particles in air compared to the previous reports. Close to 1 in 5 people, i.e. approximately 45.8% (150 million) of Americans reside in counties with particle pollution or unhealthy ozone with a minimum score of at least F. This rate is high compared to the three previous reports as the proportion of people dwelling in such environments were 141.1 million in 2019 report which  covered 2015 to 2017 and 133.9 million in 2018 report (2014 to 2016), and 125 million in 2017 report (2013 to 2015). The 2020 report also showed that 20.8+ million people (6.4%) reside in the 14 U.S counties which have failed in all the 3 air pollution measures.
