Review the first 2 case studies: https://www.countyhealthrankings.org/  Synthesize each in a brief summary (use each of these as a subheading) of key concepts

a. Characterizing a Community

b. Community Asset Mapping

2. How do Social Determinants of Health have an impact on a community? Services used by a real person provide a practical example of the array of assets in any community and the need for coordination across services. Contrast cases of seniors with functional disabilities, a younger person with a learning disability, a person suffering from mental health problems, and a person with both mental and physical health issues. Illustrate how the array of services used by a given individual can vary dramatically from the services used by someone with a different condition or in a different circumstance (one can do this in a chart or table for easy comparison).

 

3. Identify the organizations in a typical community health system or describe the community services broadly for those services focused specifically the above individuals.

 

4. Contrast the definitions of community, population, and target audience. How can the size of each be measured?

 

5. Summarize the paper in one or two paragraphs
