Part 1: Use the Leading Health Indicators page on the Healthy People 2030 website and select 3 leading health indicators (LHIs) that you know to be a problem in your community (e.g., exposure to unhealthy air, suicide, new cases of undiagnosed diabetes).
Research health-related professionals or professional organizations that you could collaborate with in your community to address the LHIs you selected.
Do the following to complete the Community Resources List Table:
· List each of your 3 selected LHIs on its own line in the LHI (Objective) column.
· For each of the 3 LHIs you selected, list the following in the Professional Collaborator #1, #2, and #3 Information and Contribution columns:
o Name, address, phone number, and email for at least 3 health-related professionals or professional organizations for each LHI
o Description of what each professional collaborator could contribute to the interprofessional team to address the problem (For example, if the LHI was in regard to increasing use of oral health care system, contributions could be low- or no-cost preventative oral hygienist services or low- or no-cost emergency dental services.)
The first row has 1 example LHI and 1 example professional collaborator provided for you to reference.
Part 2: Select the zip code (zip code: 90680) that includes city government offices (e.g., city hall, city library), retail stores, schools, and housing.
Review at least 1 community health needs assessment (CHNA) report prepared by the closest nonprofit hospital serving the selected community.
Search online for [name of hospital] CHNA or for your [zip code] and CHNA report.
Select 1 issue of importance for the community as identified in the CHNA. Use this issue to describe levels of prevention in the assignment and to identify possible roles for local community and public health nurses.
Respond to the following in a minimum of 200 words:
Identify your selected community’s zip code and the health issue of concern for that population.
Provide examples of each level of prevention as applied to the selected health issue in your identified community. For example, if you had identified Alzheimer’s disease (AD) as a health issue, the levels of prevention and associated examples might be:
Primordial: Encourage cognitive abilities in infancy and childhood, such as pretend play activities, and smoking prevention strategies in adulthood.
Primary: For people without any signs or symptoms of AD, individuals are encouraged to stop smoking, exercise, and participate in cognitive exercises, such as board and video games.
Secondary: Identify preclinical AD and/or early screening and identification of AD with screening instruments; continue primary prevention strategies.
Tertiary: Continue primary and secondary prevention activities and physical therapy; involve case managers.
