Once you have chosen your group, you will do a literature search. Go to Excelsior College Library and locate at least three (3) articles that examine the health and wellness needs of your selected group. These articles should be from peer-reviewed academic journals and must be dated within the past 7 years.
Using the articles you located in your research, identify and describe three (3) specific health and/or wellness needs experienced by this group.
Based on these 3 identified needs, you will then propose a health and wellness program to address one of these needs. As you do this, consider the types of messages that this group might be most receptive to. Identify settings or venues where members of this group might be most reachable. You will choose and apply one of the three approaches you learned about in module four in your paper.
Your paper should be written with the following headings:
Target Group
