Community Assessment Project
Community Assessment Project
You are to complete a community assessment using the Windshield Survey method. This is discussed both in Community Health Nursing: Promoting and Protecting the Public’s Health (pp. 403-4) and in Health Promotion Throughout the Lifespan (p. 203). You will find a community planning guide at the Healthy People website. This is another strategy, similar to the nursing process for assessing and implementing community change, and might be helpful to you. The Community Tool Kit website from Unit 5 might be helpful as well. Suggested topics for your assessment might include, but are not limited to: • History – established neighborhoods, new subdivisions
