For Phase 3 of the Capstone project, analyze and describe the strengths and weaknesses of the aggregate and the community where the aggregate resides.

These prompts seem to be part a capstone course for healthcare and community health courses. These prompts require analyzing strengths and weaknesses in a community aggregate and conducting a health risk assessment of a single family.

The students will be asked to complete Phase 3 by applying the MAP-IT Model to determine the strength and weakness of the entire community. The model includes Mobilizing Community Partnerships, Assessing the Community, Planning Strategies to Address Identified Health Issues, Implementing Interventions, and tracking progress over time. The students should use examples to identify strengths and weaknesses in the community. They might, for example, note that there are strong relationships with the local healthcare providers in Mobilize but high unemployment and poverty rates (Assess) within their community.

The fourth phase asks students to assess the risk of a particular family or group within a community. Students should be able to describe the process they followed, as well as any tools or models that they employed (such the Friedman Family Assessment Model). It is important to describe how they conducted the assessment, and any results that were obtained. This includes identifying health risks for families or concerns about the wider community. They might, for example, note that their family is limited in accessing healthcare, and they are struggling with chronic diseases like diabetes. These conditions could increase healthcare costs, and place a burden on broader communities if not addressed.

These prompts ask students to use their understanding of concepts in community health and tools for assessment to assess real-world scenarios and to develop strategies to address health concerns and risks within a community.
