Abstract
This work is a demonstrated application of a selected health promotion/disease strategy. Included is a description of the population group; the desired intervention, strategy and rationale. The goal of this grant proposal is to obtain a treatment facility for alcoholics in low-income areas. The researcher explains that low-income neighborhoods are subject to experiential difficulties associated with alcohol use and abuse by members of the community and that is why it is the chosen area for this improvement strategy. The writer concludes that a treatment facility in this area is a vital element in a poor community where many have not had many benefits, such as education.

Abstract
In support of the use of placebo-controlled clinical trials studies for the benefits of AZT (Azidothymidine) for HIV will be used as an example. AZT is a common drug that has benefited from placebo-controlled clinical trials. AZT has been confirmed to prolong the lives of HIV/AODS infected patients by placebo-controlled clinical trials. HIV is a serious medical condition which depends on active treatment for remission. Being without active treatment during enrolment in a placebo-controlled clinical trial puts the patient at risk. As long as strict adherence is maintained in following the Declaration of Helsinki ethical principles the decision of the patient to enter into the trial is not up for ethical debate. The patient has a right to make choices regarding their treatment (Sugarman, 2004, p. 29-35; Lin, et al., 2002, p. 739-741).
