Community Assessment
The purpose of this is for to work as a group
to provide a comprehensive
report reflecting theoretical study and practical analysis of the health of a designated
community population.
Conduct a windshield survey and observe a variety of community members in various locations.
. Gather data
by conducting informant interviews of at least ten (10) key individuals in the community (health
care providers, religious leaders, educators/teachers, and principals, elected officials such as
the mayor and city council members, fire fighters, EMT/Paramedics, police, and business
owners) and at least ten (10) local residents who are not considered key individuals.
Identify
the top three (3) health concerns using epidemiological data (TDSHS, CDC, etc.) and create a
plan to address these health concerns. Create an infographic for one of the identified health
topics.
(Note – We already have a videos and pictures , which we will upload by ourselves . Our community is West Tahokani , Texas . )
