For this mini project, your task is to evaluate three different evidenced based health education programs in your community, and examine the ways in which each program is supported from a financial, community, and organizational perspective. You must choose one national program, one state program, and one local program as your focus, and then complete the assignment using the outline below.
I. Choose three health education programs that are available to constituents of your community. Provide an overview of each program, and discuss the level of financial, community, and organizational support received for each. Be sure that you focus on one national, one state, and one local program.

II. After addressing the questions above, compare and contrast each program. Was the level of support different for each? If so, what impact did that have on the overall success and effectiveness of it? How could the program have been improved if additional support was received? Finally, reflect on the opportunities we have as Health Educators to increase funding for our programs and facilitate partnerships in support of health education.
Your completed mini project should be 5 7 pages in length follow APA guidelines and should include a minimum of three references.

As you know when two arrays have been declared with the same data type, one array can be assigned to the other. The assignment statement would look like this:
Dim firstArray() As Integer
Dim secondArray As Integer
firstArray = secondArray
This results in the two arrays sharing the same portion of memory. Can you picture this? How can the two arrays share the same memory? Think about how this would work and give your description of it.
