Comparing the Epidemiological and Needs Assessments
Suppose the organization you work for has conducted an epidemiological assessment for Community A and found that heart disease is the number one cause of death and disability among adults within that community. Your organization would like to fund a prevention/early detection program targeting heart disease. You are tasked to conduct a needs assessment within Community A, and after conducting and reviewing the results of that needs assessment, you find that the community members are most concerned with their safety and would like to see a program to reduce violence. In fact, very few mentioned heart disease as something they are concerned about.
In the initial post for Unit 2, describe the key characteristics and actions associated with both the epidemiological and needs assessments. Explain why the epidemiological and needs assessment data in this particular scenario might differ. In other words, why might the epidemiological and needs assessment results be in conflict? Also, describe how you might respond to this conflict and why that response is best.
Please note that one initial post and at minimum two response posts to classmates are required weekly for a chance at full credit. Please think critically and apply this week’s main concepts in the initial post and extend the discussion with reflection and new ideas in the response posts. Posts should include APA-formatted reference citations in the body of the post and listed at the end.
