I. Community Diagnosis

With the utilization of the Basic Priority Rating System (BPRS) and the Propriety,
Economics, Acceptability, Resources, and Legality (PEARL) Scoring System, the
researchers identified the prevailing health problem in the community as shown in
Table 1 and Table 2, respectively. The number of residents actively participating in
health-related activities or programs in Barangay Homapon, Legazpi City is low in 2018
because of poor information dissemination.

Information dissemination is a vital factor in the public health system because its
effectiveness breeds empowerment in the community to arm themselves with
knowledge. It also aids the local government in health education, disease prevention,
and intervention. Disorganized and unproductive methods of information dissemination
could lead to misinformation within the community, which practically adds to the
problem and increase the community's vulnerability. Figure 1 further describes the
health problem analysis.

II. Old Intervention Strategy
The study utilized two intervention decision matrices (tables 3 and 4) to evaluate
the possible intervention activities based on its impact and effectiveness on the
identified health problem. Results revealed that three intervention activities scored the
highest with both high impact and high achievability. These includes (1) Provision of
megaphones; (2) Installation of PA system; and (3) Conducting trainings and seminars
for first aid and basic life support.

III. New Intervention Strategy
Due to the circumstances COVID-19 has subjected, face to face interaction is
limited and a lot of the budget has been mobilized. For these reasons, the original
intervention plan might not be feasible to implement in this trying times. Therefore, the
researchers came up with a new intervention strategy that will still address the health
problem identified in the community, but with great consideration to the present
situation.

A. Information, Education and Communication Campaign

Health videos, primarily for the benefit of educating the members of the
community, will be created by the group. These videos will tackle discussions about the
current health issues and basic health tips, emphasizing on hygiene, proper respiratory
etiquette, and simple first aid. The content of the video will be in layman’s terms and
using the local dialect to ensure that all members of the community are able to
understand. Furthermore, trainings of Barangay Health Workers (BHWs) and key
persons in the Barangay Health Station will be reinforced by providing them videos they
can watch on proper basic life support and first aid. This impactful and efficient
intervention would hopefully result to the increase in community health awareness.
B. Social Media Page
A social media page will be established by the group for the promotion of health.
Educational and promotional posters and videos will be posted in this page, which can
reach not only the members of the community but other individuals active on social
media as well. Moreover, this page which will be turned over to the barangay council,
will aid in disseminating announcements from the Barangay Hall to each sitio’s of
Homapon, specifically those puroks located far from the Centro. Through this, residents
of Homapon who has access to electronic devices and internet will be well-informed and
can actively engage with health-related activities in the barangay.
C. Donation Drive
A donation drive for the procurement and funding of personal protective
equipment (PPEs) and disinfectants will be initiated by the group to provide for the
BHWs who are the ones tasked with contact-tracing at the community level.
D. Backyard Farming
With the community quarantine issued by the government due to COVID-19, a lot
of individuals have lost their jobs and have struggled to feed their families. For this
reason, the group will coordinate with the Department of Agriculture (DA) and Bicol
University College of Forestry (BUCAF) to help promote backyard farming. Seeds of
vegetables and saplings of medicinal plants will be distributed among the community
members, so that they can start their own garden. With this, the community can gain
another source of food, literally, the fruit of their own labor.

IV. Monitoring and Evaluation of Health Program

The number of viewers and likes in the social media page and in the health
videos will be monitored to measure the reach of this campaign. Comments and
feedbacks will also be taken into account for improvements and adjustments if needed.
Return demonstration and assessment will be conducted for the BHWs to evaluate the
quality of information the videos has provided them. In addition, a satisfaction form will
be provided in the barangay health station to evaluate clients’ satisfaction.

V. Program Budget
Presented below is a table of the proposed budget summary for the intervention
activities that the researchers plan to implement.
