Slide: 2
Hello everyone, today I will present an educational session on health promotion plan for New Orleans, Louisiana population. In this particular case, it will be my duty as a nurse to make sure that the community gets the right information and guidance needed on this critical issue of tobacco cessation.
Slide: 3
The health promotion plan is a strategic approach to improving health and well-being. The evidence-based interventions and activities are targeted on the prevention of diseases and the promotion of healthy behaviors within the targeted population (Marshall, 2024). Sarah, a 28-year-old teacher, who is currently living in downtown New Orleans. She began smoking during her college years as a social activity and has continued using the habit to address job-related stress. Afraid for her health, influenced by tobacco control campaign that she saw on TV lately, Sarah decides to join community tobacco control cessation intervention program. The woman goes to a health education class in her community center to receive advice about quitting smoking from healthcare workers and peer advisors.
This fact makes Sarah aware of the negative impact of smoking that affects her health and can lead to developing lung cancer and other cardiovascular diseases. In engaging drama performances and individual counseling sessions, she discovers different cessation approaches
based on her habits and choices. Sarah is also offered resources like nicotine replacement therapies and support groups with increased chances of quitting smoking for life.

Health Promotion Plan
Our health promotion plan among young adults in New Orleans, Louisiana, involves the use of strategies that are known to foster sustainable behavior change in tobacco users. Data from the latest CDC information shows that there is increased smoking prevalence and related health consequences among this group (CDC, 2019). Globally, smoking causes diseases in approximately 140 million people while in the United States alone, 15. 7 million people are living with a disease caused by smoking, and young adults continue to smoke as 14% of adults are current smokers. It’s estimated that in 2014, 480 000 deaths annually are attributed to cigarette smoking, including second-hand smoke exposure (Krist et al., 2021). It is our goal to engage the target audience through multimedia interventions, community-based activities, and cessation promotion to inform young adults about the hazards of tobacco consumption and the advantages of quitting. This means that by increasing awareness forms the core of our strategy. Studies across the United States similarly focus on how awareness campaigns alter attitudes and promote smoking cessation (Tam et al., 2021). In order to involve participants and help them stick to the decision of quitting smoking, we plan to use realistic information and stories of real people who succeeded in quitting.
Health Promotion Plan
This comprehensive health promotion plan for tobacco cessation among young adults in New Orleans, Louisiana, will incorporate some of the best approaches that will facilitate sustainable behavior change on tobacco use. Data obtained from the CDC in the United States also support the need to increase efforts to address smoking and related risks, with recent figures pointing to rising prevalence of smoking among the targeted population (Leventhal et al., 2021). The plan focuses on these key pillars: raising awareness, expanding the accessibility of appropriate materials, and launching effective preventive measures based on the SMART system. SMART goals stand for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-bound making sure that the targets we set are clear and distinct easy to quantify possible to achieve consistent with overarching goals to health and set within a specific period of time.
Increasing Awareness
Increased awareness and knowledge makes up the bulk of intervention strategies, employing media and individual focused activities such as informed communities use media, focused group discussions and interactive sessions to stop young adults from using tobacco and promote the benefits of quitting. American Lung Association has pointed out the outcome of raising community awareness in changing perceptions and decision on cessation from smoking among people (Tam et al., 2021).
Improving Access to Resources
Enhancing resource availability is important, including creating partnerships with local health care organizations that involve offering NIC and prescription free or at a low cost, counseling services and support organizations. Clinicians confronting tobacco-using patients find that comprehensive cessation support improves quit rates and mitigates decline (Giulietti et al., 2020). Finally, Intervention requires designing programs that will effectively meet or aspire to
meet the needs and progressive issues young people encounter in New Orleans. Based on principles of evidence-based practice and participant feedback, our interventions thus become refined and allow enhanced impact on a lower the rate of tobacco in takers within this population.
Slide: 5
Implementing Targeted Interventions
Implementation of targeted interventions in order to meet the needs of young-adults in New-Orleans planning to quit smoking, involves mobile health units for counseling and cessation, workplace wellness for smoke-free policies, and culturally tailored support. Such interventions have evidence of community-based participatory research and effectiveness in increasing engagement in long-term behavior modifications and decreasing relapse rates (Chu et al., 2021). Other health concerns, including stress and mental health, are further supported by our cessation programs. Incorporation of these services into tobacco cessation programs promotes the general health of the participants. Therefore, in line with the comprehensive approach to health promotion, our goal is to establish a culture of a tobacco-free existence among young adults in New Orleans.

Target Audience and Goals
Our health promotion plan targets young adults aged 18-35 in New Orleans, Louisiana, a critical demographic for tobacco cessation efforts. Accordingly, national data indicates that nearly 14% of adults currently smoke. In the case of New Orleans, a socio-economic and cultural environment may further facilitate increased smoking rates among young adults. These influences
include the targeted marketing of tobacco companies, social acceptance of smoking, and economic challenges. Different cultural attitudes toward smoking, as well as cultural attitudes toward quitting, will therefore demand appropriately tailored strategies for health promotion. For example, public health campaigns need to be culturally sensitive, available in multiple languages, and have an impact on influencing all subgroups within this particular population. Moreover, the peer groups and social influence in this age bracket are very strong; hence, digital and social media campaigns become equally necessary in our strategy.
In the broader scope of the United States, young adults are an important demographic for tobacco control. According to the Truth Initiative, nearly 90 percent of adult smokers started smoking before age 18, thus making a strong case for specifically targeting young adults in efforts to prevent further development from experimentation to regular use (Owens et al., 2020).
Slide: 7
Goal 1:
The first goal relates to increase current awareness and knowledge level regarding smoking cessation methods by 30% among the targeted population within 6 months, by training and information in several categories: social networks sharing real-life stories of people who quit smoking, presentations and discussions organized at community centers or workplaces, distribution of information literature at places, which are frequently visited by young adult population. These measures utilize appropriate communication channels that would ensure we communicate effectively with the target population.
Goal 2:
Second goal seeks to enhance the access of cessation resources by engaging clinics and pharmacies in the provision of affordable or free Nicotine Replacement Therapies (NRTs),
providing telehealth to quit lines for counseling, and community health workers for cessation training (US Department of Health and Human Services, 2020). We anticipate that eliminating some of the key issues related to financial and logistical access to cessation programs will increase the likelihood of participants’ retention and engagement.
Goal 3:
The third goal is to contribute to a decrease in the overall smoking rate within youths in New Orleans by 20% within one year focusing on young adults. This objective will be established through data collection and data analysis using the pre- and post-program surveys focusing on the differences in smoking behavior and attitude (Heavey et al., 2022). Engagement with these research institutions will ensure the continuous evaluation of the effectiveness of our program through collaboration with research institutions. Because we can adjust our strategy based on data and improve the approach by analyzing real-time feedback.

Educational Session Outcomes and Health Goals
The educational session on tobacco cessation among young adults in New Orleans yielded several notable outcomes, pointing to both the strengths of our approach and what’s needed for improvement. Firstly, there was the identified improvement of participants’ knowledge regarding the negative effects of tobacco use and positive outcomes of cessation. Clinical follow-up surveys showed that 85% of the participants claimed to be more informed about the methods of cessation and increased risks of smoking related diseases like lung cancer and heart disease (Marshall, 2024). This consciousness is important, as it enables persons to have relevant knowledge about their health and action plans of changing their status from smokers to non-smokers. Secondly, the
intervention delivered during the session was effective in encouraging changes in viewers’ behaviors, where by most of the people who attended the session pledged to stop or reduce their smoking or use of tobacco. This outcome is supported by previous studies that have indicated that combining educational approaches with supportive environmental contexts can produce substantial improvements in cessation results (Das-Munshi et al., 2020). While all this was on the positive side of the results and health goals, several challenges were also observed in these sessions. Most of the respondents felt that more practical help was required to quit tobacco addiction in their daily lives. Therefore, there is an immense need to offer broad cessation resources coupled with continuous support to achieve the complete behavior change of quitting (Das-Munshi et al., 2020). The session also brought forward the requirement of culturally tailored material since some participants felt the complete relevance of the messages was missing for their particular backgrounds and experiences.
Overall, our educational session achieved its primary goal regarding tobacco cessation. We tried to bring awareness of the health risks associated with tobacco use and the benefits of quitting to a higher level. Besides, it aimed to provide them with accessible resources and support systems that would aid in this process. We focused on socioeconomic disparities in tobacco quitting by working with local healthcare professionals and other organizations on access to evidence-based cessation resources. What we want at the end is a reduced use of tobacco in our population and developing a healthy smoke-free community.
Aspects of the Session that Need Change
Aspects of the session that require change are very critical in ensuring our health promotion plan. Several potential areas of improvement have been identified. Such changes are imperative to bring about increased effectiveness and impact that would emerge in future sessions. Firstly, the
session has a lot of theoretical material and hence adding peer-to-peer discussion will help in making it more interactive and thus more effective in making the learner’s retain what has been taught (Evans et al., 2020). Secondly, the addition of follow up sessions or support groups where the session or those in it would be encouraged to go for follow up to keep on track would be greatly helpful for those participating in the sessions. Lastly, it is necessary to change the timing and place of the session according to the participants; this can eliminate other obstacles and, therefore, improve the accessibility of educational interventions and the rates of their attendance. The effectiveness of the proposed health goals set for the session was assessed by pre- and post-session surveys that described changes in participants’ knowledge, attitudes, and perceived willingness to quit tobacco products use. The findings pointed toward improved effectiveness of implemented SMART goals and increased awareness levels as well as more opportunities for cessation resources among the participants. This means that by conducting the evaluation in close consultation with hypothetical participants, the outcomes of the session corresponded to their general needs and expectations in ways that would make hypothetical participants more receptive to future educational activities.

Need for Revisions for Future Educational Sessions
Our evaluation of smoking-cessation educational programs for young adults in New Orleans shows some key target areas through which future programs can be enhanced. These are first, engagement and interactivity of the activities involved in a session with group discussions and hands-on skills to create an impact on the participants and therefore enhance their level of participation and information retention on habits and strategies associated with quitting. This clearly suggests that there is a need for individual support mechanisms, like peer networks and

Healthy People 2030 Objectives and Leading Health Indicators
Healthy People 2030 is a framework that contains goals that focus on the improvement of health and well-being of the population across the United States of America. Some potential goals of tobacco control include decreasing the use of tobacco among adults and youth, banning its use in public places, and improving the availability of efficacious cessation programs and services (Ochiai et al., 2021). These objectives guide our local activities in New Orleans so that they meet national goals and are consistent with the expected outcomes. The Leading Health Indicators (LHIs) for tobacco cessation in Healthy People 2030 include Percentage of adults who currently smoke cigarettes, Percentage of adolescents who never use tobacco, and Percentage of indoor environments protected from tobacco smoke exposure (Ochiai et al., 2021). The progress of these indicators can be monitored to assess the effectiveness of efforts to reduce tobacco use among the population through cessation and inform the modification of these efforts to better reach goals
Future Session
Subsequent instructional classes on tobacco control in New Orleans will incorporate the goals of Healthy People 2030, specifically; tobacco use among adults including youths, smoke-

Conclusion
The health promotion plan for tobacco cessation among young adults in New Orleans is designed to tackle a major public health problem in the context of the most effective interventions. Through raising awareness, enhancing the availability of resources and providing evidence-based measures we aim at preventing the usage of tobacco products and its consequent healthy implications. The coherence with the Healthy People 2030 objectives and Leading Health Indicators guarantees that our measures are effective and quantifiable. We will continue with the assessment of the future sessions from the participants’ feedback and the new research based on which the future sessions will support the change effectively. Together, we can ensure our community emerges healthier and tobacco-free.
