Description:

Description: This course provides training and experience in community assessment and analysis applicable to public health practice. It focuses on the assessment of community organization and health needed to guide the development of health services. Beginning with a systematic description of the cultural and community systems, organizations and partnerships that emerge from these systems, and the information needs of these organizations and partnerships, students will progress to the design of community assessments in collaboration with community partners. With an emphasis on public health surveillance and community diagnosis, students will draw from multiple disciplines to assess health status and its determinants (social, behavioral, and environmental), needs for health services, and the capacity and resources of local community and its organizations. Students will also learn to facilitate and evaluate the use of data for decision-making by partnerships, organizations and policy makers. The course provides the assessment background needed for planning and evaluation, the next course in the series. Grading: Regular grades are awarded for this course: A B C D E.
