    Study Notes

    Types of Costs

    • Intangible costs: shame and fear
    • Tangible costs: financial

    Discontinuing or Implementing a Health Intervention

    • If benefits are not greater than costs, discontinue
    • If benefits are unknown, a pilot is needed
    • If benefits are greater than costs, consider acceptability and implement

    Acceptability of Proposed Measures

    • Assess acceptability of the community group and health intervention
    • Low levels of acceptance may lead to high levels of action
    • Advocate community members to be involved
    • Implement strategies and monitor the program to evaluate outcomes

    Needs Assessment

    • A systematic method for reviewing the health issues facing a specific population
    • Allows for determining priorities and resource allocation to improve health
    • Recommended to provide evidence about a population when planning services and addressing health inequalities

    Benefits of Needs Assessment

    • Community involvement in decision making
    • Logical teamwork
    • Improved communication
    • Better use of resources

    Types of Need

    • Normative need: based on research, defines an unhealthy norm within a population, measurable against accepted standards
    • Expressed need: refers to what has been demanded by a community, e.g. long waiting lists and demand for a new service
    • Comparative need: derived from examining services provided in one area and using that information to determine needs in another area
    • Felt need: refers to what communities say or feel they need, common methods include household opinion surveys, phone-ins, and public meetings

    Limitations of Each Type of Need

    • Normative need: not absolute, needs can change over time
    • Expressed need: limited picture of a need, not everyone will act on that need
    • Comparative need: presence of a service does not indicate that needs are being met
    • Felt need: subjective, limited by perceptions of the individual

    7 Steps to a Needs Assessment

    • Step 1: identifying health issues, defining the population, and gathering information using four types of needs
    • Step 2: analysis of the problem, gathering further data regarding condition lists and determining factors
    • Step 3: prioritising issues, ranking conditions by importance and changeability
    • Step 4: setting goals, using the SMART goal system to set a goal for priority issues
    • Step 5-7: not mentioned in the provided text
