The purpose of this assignment is to create a Community Health Assessment. The assessment is to be created by the student – based on problems, solutions, issues, and trends that exist within a certain population. The assessment must be 5 full pages. Students will work individually on this assignment. Examples of the population chosen can be a geographic one (i.e.: Atlanta, GA) or a health issue specific one (i.e.: diabetics). Whether a geography or a health issue is chosen, the student must provide a background as to why that community of people is being chosen — write about the problems the community faces in health and the solutions to those problems (all based on literature).
