In this module, you will complete a full assessment of your own community; the focus should be your county, city or town. The broader you keep this assessment the better you will do in N493.
**Do not select a population, like children in daycare or adults who smoke - that will be done in Community Health II.
Defining the Community
Your community can be any geographically defined county, city, or town. Clearly delineate the following dimensions before starting the process of community assessment:
Describe the population that is being assessed?
What is/are the race(s) of this population within the community?
Are there boundaries of this group? If so, what are they?
Does this community exist within a certain city or county?
Are there general characteristics that separate this group from others?
