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).
- 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
