Intervention mapping mode was developed as an iterative path for problem solving and mitigation. The model describes different steps that can be taken to mitigate a situation, including health related complication. The steps integrate both theory and evidence and make subsequent actions which lead to the elimination of health problems (Bartholomew (2016). Thus, to understand the condition, an assessment or problem analysis must first be undertaken. Subsequently, matrices must be created based on the determinants of the condition and the targeted intervention. Theory-based intervention methods and integrative approaches are considered. Finally, adoption, implementation and sustainability is put in place through an evaluation plan to improve intervention (Bartholomew (2016).
In the program design, some components of the model must, however, be considered to effectively eliminate the infection. Cancer, the health associated infection is a chronic condition being considered here can be evaluated based on the four components of the model. Social assessment is the first which considers the quality of life of the individual. Epidemiological assessment, the second phase include health, genetics, behavior and environmental players in the condition. In the third phase, education and ecological assessments are considered including predisposition, reinforcement, and the creation of an internal enabling environment. The final phase involves administrative and policy assessment which ultimately lead to better educational programs and policy regulations (Bartholomew (2016).
However, the intervention model requires an explicit description of the different stages of improving intervention which can prolong the overall process and ultimately affect patient improvement. Nonetheless, this is the most useful model in addressing this chronic condition as it provides the exact actions to take including the directions to follow and the procedure for developing the intervention.
