For the final project it has to be 10 to 12 page (not including references, title page, or abstract), double-spaced, APA-formatted paper) that focuses on developing an intervention program to address substance among African-American children and adolescents.

All Final Projects, regardless of their format, must include:

• a minimum of ten references (in addition to any course readings you may wish to reference);

• a justification of the issue, problem, or concern you selected and the type of project (prevention, intervention, or consultation) that you developed to address it;

• an analysis of the evidence-based research related to the intervention(s) or treatment method(s) that you chose;

• a description of your target population, stakeholders, and participants;

• a description of the data collection and analysis methods that you will use for the needs assessment;

• an explanation of the project goals and how you will assess them;

• an action plan, including tasks to be implemented;

• an analysis of possible challenges to implementation and how they may be addressed;

• a description of how your project will influence social change.

Note that each of the above components should include enough detail so that an individual in a community, agency, or organization can clearly understand the purpose of your project and how you will implement it.
