Discuss about below questions
1. The Windshield Survey – visit the community to develop a ‘feel’ or ‘sense’ of the community. What do you see; who are the people, what are they doing, how is the housing, sidewalks, method of transportation, commerce, etc.
2. Complete a “Key Informant” interview – someone from the community that has knowledge of the population and their specific health needs. Examples include: county board supervisor, health care provider, teacher, police officer, librarian, etc.
How does what you observed during the Windshield Survey impact the Community’s Health? What does your key informant say is the major health issues facing the population? Does their assessment match what you have discovered thus far through the county or town website and health department websites? Identify which issues relating to health are being addressed by the county, as documented on the website (include the link). Read the local newspaper for additional information. How is the community addressing these issues? Are there issues that are not being addressed by the county but viewed important by the key informant and residents?
