Task 1 Health promotion community assessment - Case study 2 background and context
Case study 2: Community assessment survey of Tiny
Town residents
Community
and stakeholder perceptions of community assets and needs are an important
component of a community assessment process. As part of a community assessment
in a community called Tiny Town, a survey of local community members was
undertaken to understand the perceived health assets and needs of the
community.
Overview of survey
A survey containing
a range of qualitative and quantitative questions was administered during late
2020 and early 2021 across the community. The
purpose of the overall survey was to understand:
· What was important to people about the health
of their community
·The health concerns and needs the communities was
facing
· Perceptions of service accessibility and barriers to
access,
and
·What was working well in community.
The survey was administered online and in hard copy. Promotion and dissemination of the survey included:
· Promoting the survey through key organisations such as schools, network groups, community centres, libraries, local councils and local community groups via newsletters, websites, Facebook and posters on notice boards
·Promoting through various media channels such as social media (Facebook and Instagram) and radio, and
· Distributing hard copies of the survey through local community champions and in community places where priority populations frequent, such as local shopping centres; assistance was provided to people to complete the survey as required.
Application of survey in Task 1
Task 1 utilises the responses to three open-ended qualitative questions focusing on perceived community assets and needs. The responses to these questions which you will analyse are provided in the Community assessment survey database. The three questions are:
1.What do you think is working well in your community?
2.Why do you think these things are working well?
3.What is one thing you would like to change about your community to make it the healthiest place it can be?
Expert Solution
Part 1: Allocate each health and wellbeing indicator presented in summary to the ecological health and wellbeing data assessment framework (Part 1, Table 1a). You only need to allocate the indicators from page 1 of the summary document.Table 1a below is an example of a community assessment data template based on adaption of the understanding health component of Red Lotus Critical Health Promotion Model (Taylor & O’Hara 2021). The template includes individual and environmental level determinant categories and a category for people’s health and well-being status (community or population). Each category specifies the type of indicators for which data needs to be collected for a comprehensive community profile.
A resource
titled Determinant type definitions and examples based on this ecological
determinants' framework is provided in the learning materials to help you
identify the types of indicators that can be included across the different
determinant categories.
