What Assessment
What is the purpose of community mapping?
Community Mapping allows the community assessment team to visualize the community and to study disease concentrations, identify at-risk populations, better understand program implementation, examine risk factors, and/or study interactions that affect health.
This approach includes observing formal institutions within a community to examine the interrelationship between its different components, such as family life, religion, and schools
KEEPRA
observes Kinship—What observations can you make about family and family life?
Economics—Does the community appear to have a stable economy, or are there signs of economic decline or economic growth?
Education—What observations can you make related to schools and other educational institutions, such as libraries and museums?
Political—Is there evidence of political activity in the community, such as signs supporting someone’s candidacy for elected office?
Religious—Are there any mosques, churches, or synagogues in the community?
Associations—What evidence do you see of neighborhood associations? Business associations? What other resources are present, such as recreation centers?
To prevent disease and promote health in populations, advocate, assessment, policy development, and assurance of programs

This model provides the underlying theory that drives program design, guiding a team in planning a well-thought-out intervention
Logic model
Includes: input (gathering of resources), activities (identify what activities will be done to address the problem), output (evidence of service delivery), outcome (changes expected in 1-3 then 4-6 years), and impact (changes expected in 7-10 years)

This framework/tool starts with the end in mind and includes evaluation at the beginning of the assessment process
The stated purpose of the CHANGE tool is to enable local stakeholders and community team members to survey and identify community strengths and areas for improvement regarding current policy, systems, and environmental change strategies.
The process provides a community with the foundation for conducting a program evaluation.
The idea is to start with the end in mind and include evaluation in the beginning of the assessment process
Part 1: This kind of assessment includes assessing the health impacts of policies, plans, and projects in diverse economic sectors using quantitative, qualitative, and participatory techniques
Part 2: What are the 5 steps in this kind of assessment?
What is health impact assessment. Steps to the health impact assessment include:
1. Screening (identifying plans, projects, or policies for which an HIA would be useful)
2. Scoping (identifying which health effects to consider)
3. Assessing risks and benefits (identifying which people may be affected and how they may be affected)
4. Developing recommendations (suggesting changes to proposals to promote positive health effects or to minimize adverse health effects)
5. Reporting (presenting the results to decision makers), Monitoring and evaluating (determining the effect of the HIA on the decision)
