Describe Atlanta, Georgia (population and demographic/economic/geographic information). Examine, explore and identify: (i) the community’s significant health issue, (ii) a health behavior that causes the health issue, (iii) the target population, and (iv) the current community resources available to improve/reduce the health issue.
For epidemiological data, the County Health Rankings site is a good source for health information at the county level.
Suppose your selected community is smaller than the county level. In that case, you can choose one or all three approaches: (1) looking at the real estate of the neighborhood, (2) using the U.S. Census or official info from the county/city covering the neighborhood/community, and (3) observing the community by having a walk/drive around the neighborhood and surrounding areas to evaluate the resources (windshield/walking survey).
Conclusion: At the end of this assessment, you must clearly define your community-health issue, including these components:
a community (e.g., the Wuthering Heights neighborhood)
a health behavior (e.g., physical inactivity) that causes a health issue
the health issue (e.g., obesity)
a target population (e.g., middle-aged women, 40 to 55 years old.)
