Educational Campaigns
Are you looking to create educational campaigns but don’t know where to start? HWAD offers educational campaign services which includes needs assessment of communities, preparing educational materials, launching your media campaign and evaluation. Educational campaigns and materials are excellent ways to reach a wide audience to provide awareness and information on topics that are unknown, not frequently discussed, or specific to your niche or business.
Risk Assessments of Communicable Diseases
At HWAD, we strongly believe that to promote health, we must start with disease prevention.
We first start with identifying risk factors for disease, both acute and chronic. Once identified, this information can be disseminated to the public. This knowledge can be used to help change behavior to lower the risk for disease by reducing or eliminating the exposure to any risks that would otherwise increase the chance that one will incur disease or premature death.
Needs Assessment
Needs assessments are crucial prior to any implementation of programs or change within a community. A systematic examination of key indicators of health in a community provides the framework for program development and intervention. HWAD will work with you to conduct a needs assessment to identify the key issues faced by your community.
Program Development
Our program development services help to provide solutions to your needs through program development and interventions. We assist your agency to develop specific programs that will meet your outlined objectives. HWAD has expertise in health, food safety and sustainability, and community mobilization. Our range of expertise will satisfy all your program development needs. We focus on activities that will help to enhance health and well-being as well as preventing and reducing health issues through planning, implementation, and evaluation of these
activities and create programs and interventions for each community to utilize in order to support each citizen’s health and well-being, enabling them to enjoy the quality of life they deserve.
Research
One of our core services that we offer is research and it is a great passion for our company. Research is crucial to providing important information about any trends and risk factors in disease and illness, as well as providing the results of treatments and interventions, and provide insight on patterns of care and the cost and use of health care. We focus our research on a variety of issues and topics that are both current and/or long-term within public health. We utilize both
qualitative and quantitative methods of research, based on what would best serve your needs, as different approaches help to provide integral insights. We also provide public health surveillance on ongoing health-related data and can help you to analyze the data, generate information for dissemination to your community, and monitor improvements in health outcomes.
Data Collection and Generation
Data collection and generation goes hand in hand with our research services. HWAD is deeply invested in research and data, and we strongly advocate for transparent and readily available data that is easy to access, especially in an age where communication is digital and can be readily available at our fingertips. Collecting and analyzing data is a crucial process as it allows us to see the bigger picture of the current conditions of the health status of all communities and populations and allows us to identify any trends and probable issues.
Consultation Services
HWAD provides consultation services on issues that impact the health and wellness of communities, with a focus on underserved communities. We take a holistic approach to wellness and can advise you on the best approach to empower communities. We work with a variety of organizations and agencies such as those in the public, nonprofit, and private sectors.
Community Intervention
HWAD works with governmental, and non-governmental agencies to provide preventative and promotional services that focus on mental and physical health within community groups.
Interventions are designed to meet the unique needs of each community. Some examples of
community interventions that we help to provide include screenings, health promotion, community outreach, education, social marketing, and policy development.
Food Security and Sustainability
There is a prevalence of food insecurity today, especially in underserved communities, and is a
public health issue. Through our food security and sustainability services, we help to identify the issues that contribute to food insecurity and to find solutions for these communities.
Sustainability plays a long-term role in reducing insecurity and maintaining food security. Diets
that are sustainable contribute to maintaining nutritional health and well-being. Providing
sustainable food security in communities aligns with HWAD’s motto of “Moulding
Communities”.
