The selected program, Smoking Cessation Program was implemented as planned by the strategists and planners. Several strategies and methods were deployed and implemented to ensure that the goals and objectives of the program would be achieved. Some of the strategies designed to ensure maximum achievement of the programs goals include the adoption of different types of sessions to be conducted in the course of the program implementation deploying volunteers trained in psychology and health offering the programs sessions to groups of prospective participants and providing incentives to those with progress and improvement in attendance (Moadel, A. Lukoschek2009).
The program is comprehensive enough considering the nature and scope for a health program. By far, all tasks vital to the design, implementation and monitoring of the program are established. The parameters for monitoring the program are also in place (McKenzie et.al.,2004).
The program has already been implemented, the results having been reflected in the introductory part. The strategies designed and applied for the program are aforementioned. Basically, the stages of the program include the determination of the scope in terms of nature of the program, demographic factors, cultural factors and the basic facets of human nature such as cognitive, behavioral and physiological factors. The stages of the implementation are fairly appropriate to the programs goals and targeted participants. (Moadel, A. Lukoschek2009).
I believe that there are no negative legal or ethical issues that may arise with this program. Legally-speaking, there are positive effects if the program would be implemented. As it is geared towards minimizing, or even to totally eliminating smoking habits among the target participants, this could reinforce anti-smoking regulations, policies, laws or ordinances as applicable to different types of communities. (Issel 2004)
Ethically, I see more benefits than adverse impacts because the traditional society actually abhors smoking in public, especially in work places. Some non-smokers could be offended or harmed by smokers (especially in public places or workplaces). By cutting down on smoking, this ethical issue could also be eliminated.
