Assess population needs, assets, and capacities that affect communities’ health. Explain activities and resources to be introduced and used for this program.

It is essential to use a comprehensive approach when assessing the needs of the population, their assets and capabilities that impact community health. This will help identify gaps in resources or services that could be affecting individual wellbeing. It is important to evaluate the existing healthcare infrastructure and conduct surveys or interviews with local residents in order for them to better understand their needs.

The gaps identified can then be addressed with activities and resources. For instance, if poor nutritional status is a concern in the community, then cooking classes or delivery services to provide more nutritious food could be offered. Some other interventions could include mental health resources to help those with anxiety or depression, introducing walking groups or housing assistance for people living in overcrowded situations.

Overall it’s essential to take into account all factors—from socio-economic status to cultural differences —when considering how best to improve population health outcomes. In order to provide meaningful resources for communities, it is important that they address individual and systemic needs.
