Part 1: Population/Community Snapshot: The first part of the assignment is to analyze empirical data and assessment findings to appraise population health within a selected geographic community. Students will synthesize insights garnered through population assessment findings, social determinants of health, and morbidity and mortality statistics for the selected population to identify health risks and problems that are present. Strategies to promote population health at the community and societal levels will be proposed.
- Synthesize information gathered in order to summarize the findings of your population health assessment, including the following.
- Demographic “snapshot” of the population (distribution of age, sex, ethnicity, marital status, household type)
- Leading morbidity and mortality findings
- Concise findings regarding assessment of key social determinants impacting population health in the community (health and healthcare, social and community context, education, economic stability, neighborhood and built environment)
- Provide an analysis of your assessment findings and describe key supports and barriers to health that were identified within the county.
- Identify one priority population health risk or disparity that was identified through the assessment. Include evidence from the population assessment to validate the noted concern. Recommend one population-focused solution to address this concern.
