COURSE CALENDAR. Dates may be moved forward of back depending on class progress, you will be notified in class of any changes in the schedule including changes in assignment due dates.

Overview on the course schedule: The class is sequenced so that we can discuss the topics outlined in the course content, and then you can get started on your health promotion program early in the quarter. While you are developing and implementing your program we will have guests visit our class, who will explain how they have carried out the steps in conducting aprogram that we have discussed. Further, while you are developing and implementing your program we will discuss other aspects of running a program, specifically, web based information dissemination (building a web site for a health program) and using excel to develop a budget for a program.

A goal of this class is to make this a VERY active participation, project and worksite oriented course. In this course we will discuss a topic, and you will be expected to do the related assignment quickly so you will be progressing toward a timely completion of the overall class project. So be prepared to act on an assignment as soon as it is distributed, because the due dates will be very soon after the assignment is distributed. This will be especially evident in the first weeks of the quarter.

Your letter should include the following:

  • Introduce yourselves.
  • Thank them for allowing you come to their worksite to do your class project.
  • Tell them that you will be calling them in a few days to determine how can distribute a needs assessment to the workers.
  • Contact names and phone numbers for all the students on your project team.
  • Handwritten assignments are not accepted.

A draft letter is due by the date in the course schedule.

You are to submit:

A copy of this letter to Dr. Chalmers by the due date in the course outline, and send the letter to the worksite prior to submission.

You must complete this assignment, but it is not graded, and does not contribute to your term grade.

Unit 3 Needs Assessment

Needs assessment = identifying the health needs of a target population

SERVICE NEEDS = WHAT THE HEALTH PROFESSIONAL BELIEVES A TARGET POPULATION NEEDS TO RESOLVE A HEALTH PROBLEM

SERVICE DEMANDS = WHAT THE TARGET POPULATION BELIEVES THEY NEED TO RESOLVE A HEALTH PROBLEM

NEEDS ASSESSMENT DATA

1) PRIMARY DATA

=COLLECTING YOUR OWN DATA

2) SECONDARY DATA

=USING EXISTING DATA

1) PRIMARY DATA

=COLLECTING YOUR OWN DATA

2) SECONDARY DATA

=USING EXISTING DATA

HOW TO COLLECT PRIMARY NEEDS ASSESSMENT DATA?

1) SURVEY SELF REPORT

SINGLE MEETING BY:

  • PAPER & PENCIL QUESTIONNAIRE
  • PHONE INTERVIEW
  • FACE-TO-FACE INTERVIEW

WHO TO SURVEY?

HOW TO COLLECT PRIMARY NEEDS ASSESSMENT DATA?

2) COMMUNITY FORUM

BRING TOGETHER PEOPLE FROM TARGET POPULATION TO DISCUSS CONCERNS

HOW TO COLLECT PRIMARY NEEDS ASSESSMENT DATA?

3) OBSERVATION

  • BY HEALTH EDUCATORS

HOW TO COLLECT PRIMARY NEEDS ASSESSMENT DATA?

3) OBSERVATION

  • BY HEALTH EDUCATORS
  • BY THE PARTICIPANTS THEMSELVES

= SELF ASSESSMENT

E.G., HEALTH RISK APPRAISALS (HRA)

HOW TO COLLECT SECONDARY NEEDS ASSESSMENT DATA?

1) GOVERNMENT STUDIES & DATA

SEARCH SITES INCLUDING:

  • NIH (NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF HEALTH)*
  • CDC (CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL & PREVENTION)*

* LINK ON DR. CHALMERS' WEB PAGE

HOW TO COLLECT SECONDARY NEEDS ASSESSMENT DATA?

2) DATA IN THE LITERATURE

  • ERIC (EDUCATIONRESOURCESINFORMATIONCENTER)#
  • MEDLINE#
  • PSYCLIT#

#WILSON LIBRARY DATABASES

HOW TO USE THESE POTENTIAL SOURCES TO CONDUCT A NEEDS ASSESSMENT

STEP 1: COLLECT DATA TO DETERMINE THE PRESENTSTATE OF HEALTH OF THE TARGET POPULATION

STEP 2: ANALYZE THE DATA

STEP 3: PRIORITIZE NEEDS

STEP 4: VALIDATING THE PRIORITY LIST

STEP 1: COLLECT DATA TO DETERMINE THE PRESENTSTATE OF HEALTH OF THE TARGET POPULATION

  • PRIMARY OR SECONDARY DATA OR BOTH
  • WHO & HOW TO COLLECT INFORMATION

STEP 2: ANALYZE THE DATA

  • "EYE BALL THE DATA" TO LOOK FOR OBVIOUS PROBLEMS
  • (STATISTICAL ANALYSIS, LESS COMMON)

RESULT: YOU CAN STATE THE HEALTH PROBLEMS, & THEIR EXTENT

STEP 3: PRIORITIZE NEEDS

TO DECIDE WHERE TO PUT YOUR RESOURCES CONSIDER:

  • WHAT ARE THE MOST PRESSING NEEDS?
  • ARE MY RESOURCES ABLE TO DEAL WITH THE PROBLEM?
  • CAN THE PROBLEM BE SOLVED THROUGH HEALTH PROMOTION?
  • CAN THE PROBLEM BE IMPROVED IN A REASONABLE TIME FRAME?

STEP 3: PRIORITIZE NEEDS (continued)

TO DECIDE WHERE TO PUT YOUR RESOURCES ALSO CONSIDER:

  • WHAT DO THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS FEEL ARE THE MOST PRESSING NEEDS?
  • WHAT ARE EXISTING HEALTH PROMOTION PROGRAMS? ARE THEY WORKING? WHO DO THEY REACH?

STEP 4: VALIDATING THE PRIORITY LIST

  • CHECKING WITH TARGET GROUP THAT THEY WILL BE RECEPTIVE TO THE PROGRAM YOU ARE CONSIDERING.
  • GETTING OPINIONS FROM OTHER HEALTH PROFESSIONALS

MORE THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN PLANNING YOUR NEEDS ASSESSMENT

  • Give the identical assessment to each person so data is uniform

Easy with paper questionnaire, harder with interviews and discussion groups

  • Try to get a high response rate
  • Response rate increases when information is anonymous

WHAT CAN YOU BE ASKING ABOUT?

  • AWARENESS
/ The leading cause of death for males is: (a) heart disease (b) cancer (c) Stroke (d) accidents
  • KNOWLEDGE
/ Which of the following are antioxidants (a) Vit C (b) Vit B12 (c) Zinc
  • ATTITUDES
/ Exercise will positively affect your health?
Strongly Agree Agree Neutral Disagree Strongly disagree
  • BEHAVIOR
/ Do you do visit the doctor at lease once per year.
  • SKILLS
/ Do you know how to do a self check for testicular cancer? Y/N
  • HEALTH STATUS
/ What is you blood pressure? ______
  • QUALITY OF LIFE
/ Do you have difficulty urinating?
Y/N/ Sometimes

HOW TO COLLECT PRIMARY NEEDS ASSESSMENT DATA USING A PAPER & PENCIL SELF REPORT SURVEY QUESTIONNAIRE OF THE TARGET POPULATION

To consider when planning questions to ask:

Put demographic questions first to warm up subjects
Put sensitive or personal information near the end
Do not use questions that have bias / "list 3 ways you enjoyed this class"
Do not ask two-part questions / Do you brush & floss your teeth?
Do not assume too much knowledge / "Are you within 10 pounds of your recommended weight?"
Don't ask questions that are not really what you want to know / POOR: "Is education in low fat cooking needed"
BETTER: "Would you attend a class in low fat cooking?"

Forms of questions you can ask

Closed questions

Yes/ NoFor knowledge, including "other ______" option is useful

Multiple choiceFor knowledge

Likert Scale (5 or 7 points)

Exercise will positively affect your health?

Strongly Agree Agree Neutral Disagree Strongly disagree

Unstructured or opened questions

e.g., Why have you expressed interest in this program

  • MAKE QUESTIONNAIRE EASY TO READ & UNDERSTAND.
  • AMPLE SPACE FOR RESPONSES.
  • SHORT.
  • EASY TO RETURN.
  • OFFER INCENTIVES FOR RETURN OF QUESTIONNAIRE?
  • INCLUDE A COVER LETTER WITH THE QUESTIONNAIRE.

INCLUDE A COVER LETTER WITH THE QUESTIONNAIRE

e.g., Table 5.1 Page 105 of M & S text

PRACTICAL ADVICE/DISCUSSION ON HOW WE WILL DEVELOP A NEEDS ASSESSMENT

Q1- What topic areas should you be interested in?

A-Start by looking in the contents of a basic health book to remember the basic health issues possible and of importance. These are….

DEVELOPING A NEEDS ASSESSMENT QUESTIONNAIRE ASSIGNMENT

First, go back and review the lecture notes related to this assignment. You are to develop a paper and pencil, or web based, survey to do a collection of primary data on the health needs at your project site. In the next assignment, you will use you questionnaire at the worksite and evaluate the results. Ensure that you use questions that will produce data that reflects your target population's health status, awareness of health, attitudes about health, knowledge of health and health interests. Also include useful demographic questions as well as questions that may help you market the program (these topics are discussed later in the course). Ensure your questions allow you to identify both service needs as well as service demands. You must develop your questionnaire for your unique site. Ask about both work related and non work related health concerns. Include questions to determine if there are health programs in effect at work now. There is no one standard needs assessment that will fit all applications. Remember that you must develop a questionnaire that will allow you to state health problems, and their extent for your target population. See the assignment grading sheet for further information on the specific requirements for the survey. You are responsible to ensure that your questionnaire, and the submitted materials:
