Background: In this assignment, you will embark upon the first major step in planning a community-based health promotion program: the community health needs assessment!
Before you begin this assignment, you should choose a community that will serve as the focus of the program (Escambia Co. FL) you will create in the assignments throughout the course. Most students choose their local community, however, you can choose any community in which you have an interest – you will learn a lot about this community over the term! Communities can be defined in a number of ways, but for this assignment, please choose a community that is defined by geography, in other words, a town, city, perhaps even a county. The best choice will be different for each student, so please reach out to your instructor if you want to talk about how to choose a community.
To help orient you to the process of community-health needs assessment (CHNA) and familiarize you with results, you will locate a CHNA that has been performed for the community you chose (or a nearby area). CHNAs can be located through the internet. Try searching for community-health needs assessment [name of your community/county]. If you have difficulty locating a CHNA, please reach out to your instructor. You will use this CHNA as one source to inform your assignment response. You should consult other sources of data to complete the assignment including but not limited to the websites listed in Units 1 and 2, such as the U.S. Census Bureau.
