Nursing Community Assessment Guide
A Mine of Demographic and Statistical Information
Developed in consultation with RRC Nursing instructors, the Nursing Community Assessment Guide is a valuable aid for nursing students completing the Community Health Assessment paper. As you gather information about communities to analyze health issues and health needs from a population perspective, it will give you a starting point to help focus your research.
While created specifically for Nursing students, this guide addresses a variety of community perspectives and is useful for anyone looking for demographic or statistical information about Winnipeg. This guide will help you identify and write about the following topics related to a community health assessment:
- Purpose, target group and location
- Community history and perception
- Population
- Physical environments
- Socioeconomic environments
- Education and healthy child development
- Culture and religion
- Health regions and social services
- Transportation
- Government and politics
