Introduction

"Similar to traditional program design, community-based program design often utilizes a range of tools and models which are meant to enhance the efficacy and outcomes of the program’s design. The difference between traditional design and community-based design, when using these tools, are the dynamics in the relationship between the designers, it's participants, and the community as a whole."

Hey ya'll, I copy and pasted the above blurb from your "Socio-Ecological Model" section. I would suggest incorporating it into the introduction, as it is general and descriptive enough to give readers a quick idea of community-based program design and how it differs from other forms of program design. --Ubuntu713 (talk) 23:49, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

Additionally, the introductory definition of community-based program design seems a bit clunky and utilizes unaccessible language that is not linked to other wikipedia pages. Maybe try looking for and using a more succinct definition.--Ubuntu713 (talk) 00:01, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

History

"Community practice in social work is linked with the historical roots of the professions beginning in the United States."

I would suggest linking the "History of Social Work" wikipedia page, so as to integrate this article more into the Wikipedia database.--Ubuntu713 (talk) 23:58, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

Incomplete list of notable contributors to the community-based approach

Make sure that this list is one of necessary contributors; for instance, all power to Professor Patton, but should he be noted on this wiki page out of all the community organizers in the entire world? --Blunthought (talk) 00:01, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

Might even think of taking this section out entirely. Unless you are actually going into how each of these people contributed" --Blunthought (talk) 00:01, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

Program design tools

I would suggest putting the figure on the right side of the page to make it look neater and not so chopped up with the header. Also placing it under the appropriate header, rather than this general one. --Blunthought (talk) 00:04, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

Socio-Ecological Model

As mentioned previously, the intro paragraph for this section could definitely be incorporated into your overall general description. I think it is a toss up as to whether or not it is really needed in this section if mentioned previously, but I do not think it would be bad to keep it here.

The below levels of the Socio-Ecological Model could be reformatted to look more visually appealing. Also, in your first draft organizational was misspelled, so just a heads up on remembering to do a final spellcheck and edit.--Ubuntu713 (talk) 23:53, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

1.) Individual

2.) Interpersonal

3.) Organizational

4.) Community

5.) Public Policy

Tables

If anyone is proficient in creating tables, I am interested in creating one for the socio-ecological model section of the article draft. It would have three columns: level; characteristics; and ... (it's getting late). Anyway, the numbered list doesn't look so hot. I will update soon. Umich hudsonmh (talk) 03:27, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
