Caldwell County Community Assessment
Purpose:
The purpose of this assignment is to encourage nurses to become aware of local environmental, socioeconomic, and cultural resources in their community to meet the specific population of their chosen clinical project. Using a systematic method of assessing the community, nurses become aware of not only the resource they can use to promote health, but also the gaps that may exist in resource availability, especially for those vulnerable populations. Directed toward the student’s chosen clinical project, the Community Assessment assignment, Health Promotion assignment, and Community Intervention Plan assignment follow the same community and dovetail into each other.
This first assignment uses the Windshield Survey technique which was completed during Week 2 in the discussion forum.
Paper length is between three (3) to five (5) double spaced pages (excluding title, reference, and Appendix pages) using APA (7th ed.) style and formatting. Paper must include at least three (3) scholarly journal references outside of the assigned course readings. While the student will use websites to gather epidemiological information, these resources will not be considered scholarly articles. Scholarly articles are peer reviewed, usually include an abstract, consist of several references, contain several pages, and are usually research oriented or discuss a topic comprehensively. All references must be current (published within the past five (5) years).
Requirements:
- Incorporate the clinical project topic (childhood chronic disease prevention, chronic disease and food security, emergency preparedness, or mental illness prevention) into the title of the paper, as well as, in the Introduction section.
- Using the county where you reside, use Box 11.4 as found in the DeMarco & Healey-Walsh (2020,pp.240-241) textbook to perform a community assessment. This assessment is done partly by using information gathered from local, state, and federal statistics. Remember that the information obtained should relate to your chosen project and discussion of the information should include impact to the project population. The windshield portion of the community assessment was completed in Week 2. You can use the Appendix created in that assignment for this paper.
Your paper should include:
- Breakdown of population demographics(including age, gender, race/ethnicity, income, housing,
and education levels)
- Boundaries
- Availability of housing for different income levels
- Open spaces (parks, recreation)
