Assignment

Using Gordon's Functional Health Patterns framework (p. 130 in your e-text), assess the health risks in your community.

In your community assessment paper, include the following:

• Identify resources in your community that would enable you to complete a community assessment and submit a summary of your findings (1-2 paragraphs).

• Refer to Table 8-2: Examples of Community Strengths and Concerns, and assess the strengths and concerns of your community (2-3 paragraphs).

• Identify potential barriers to implementing community health plans in your community and brainstorm ways of addressing these barriers (2-3 paragraphs).

Your paper should be 2-3 pages in length, not including the cover and reference pages. Use APA throughout.

You must include 2-3 sources that are APA cited and referenced in your paper. (Sources may include community resources such as flyers, brochures, interviews, news stories, and local research data from credible sources.)
