What is the primary purpose of a needs, resources, and capacity assessment? - answer
To gather data and information to determine what interventions would be appropriate in
a given setting
Capacity Assessment - answer A measure of actual and potential individual, group, and
community resources that can be inherent to and/or brought to bear for health
maintenance and enhancement. The process of mapping community assets is included
in the capacity assessment.
1.1 Plan assessment process for health education/promotion - answer Service needs
are things health professionals believe a given population must have or be able to do in
order to resolve a health problem. Service demands are things people say they must
have or e able to do in order to resolve a health problem. Both are important.
needs assessment - answerThe systematic identification of needs within a population
and the determination of the degree to which those needs are being meet.
1.1.2 Identify existing and necessary resources to conduct assessments - answerThe
following 6 steps were identified in order to conduct a needs assessment:
1. Determine the scope of work and the purpose for the needs assessment
2. Gather the data
3. Analyze the data
4. Identify any factors linked to the health problem
5. Identify the focus for the program
6. Validate the need before continuing with the planning process
Developing an assessment plan will allow health education specialists to establish a
roadmap that provides an overview of the process, resources needed, activities, and
results the support the goals and objectives of the assessment. Resources can include
human resources, supplies, incentives for participation, and travel costs.
qualitative data - answerInformation that is difficult to measure, count, or express in
numerical terms. For example, a participant's impression about the fairness of a
program rule/requirement is qualitative data.
1.1.3 Engage priority populations, partners, and stakeholders - answerPartners are
individuals or organizations that bring knowledge, skills, or resources. Stakeholders are
the who affect and are affected by change and those who have interest in the results.
Increasing these people's participation improves the assessment and increases the
value of the results.
, quantitative data - answerInformation that can be expressed in numerical terms,
counted, or compared, on a scale. Improvement in a child's reading level as measured
by a reading test is an example.
1.2 Access existing information and data related to health - answerPrimary and
secondary data should be collected for a needs assessment. However not all collection
methods are appropriate in all practice settings.
primary data - answerData gathered by health education specialists directly from or
about the individual or population of interest. This data answers questions related to the
specific needs assessment. Primary data is often collected by means of surveys,
interviews, focus groups, and direct observation.
1.2.1 Identify sources of secondary data related to health - answerMany health
education specialists identify needs of the priority population through a review of the
literature. Data should refer to a population similar to that under current assessment.
Secondary data can yield insight on community capacity, assets, and needs and often
involves gathering epidemiological data, such as health status, risk factors, incidence
and/or prevalence rates, death rates, etc.
secondary data - answerData that has already been collected by others that may or
may not be directly gathered from the individual or population being assessed.
Examples include existing research published in peer-reviewed journals and/or
datasets, such as the United State Census, vital records, and disease registries.
1.2.2 Establish collaborative relationships and agreements that facilitate access to data
- answerThe relationship requires effort to identify common goals by which the
organizations or groups could work together. Establishing an agreement with the
organization or group outing the intended outcome, audience, the purposes for which
the data will be used, the ownership of the data, confidentiality aspects, and conditions
o the release of the data can be an effective method to obtain or exchange needed data
and practice data ethics.
Stakeholders - answerIndividuals or agencies that have a vested interest in the health
education program.
1.2.3 Review related literature - answerA literature review is a systematic method of
locating, synthesizing, and interpreting a collection of works by researchers and
practitioners. A literature review uncovers what is already known and identifies gaps in
knowledge. The basic components of a literature review include:
1. Specify study aims. Whats questions do you want to answer?
2. Set inclusion criteria. What evidence will address the question?
3. Design the recruitments strategy. How will you find the evidence you want?
4. Screen potential partners. What evidence from the search process meets your
criteria?
