Study Notes

Community Definition

  • Community is complex and primarily fulfills the shared needs of a group of people.
  • Community needs vary and evolve over time.
  • Geographic location defines communities in rural settings. Urban/suburban areas can be defined by location or characteristics like income (less than 200% poverty level) or immigration status.
  • Population and community overlap but aren't identical.
  • Population health discussions often involve panel medicine, but the actual community served by the residency program may differ.

Working with the Community

  • Mapping: Create sketch maps of the catchment area, including the main village and surrounding areas.
  • Household Enumeration: Count and document the houses to create family folders for each household.
  • Socio-economic Profiles: Document each family's socio-economic standing and housing conditions in the folders.
  • Health Assessments: Perform initial comprehensive medical checks to assess the community's health profile, identifying key health concerns.
  • Community Profile: Record demographic features, economic activities, social structures, leading families/community leaders, and community organizations to compile a comprehensive community profile.
  • Community Committees & Organizations: Identify and analyze existing community health committees, community development projects, related organizations, and their activities and structures (leadership patterns, culture, traditions).
  • Community Issues: Evaluate available knowledge about environmental sanitation, education levels, and critical health concerns or problems within the community.
