GUIDELINES
Below are the
requirements needed for successful completion of the Windshield Survey Form.
1.Introduction to the
Community:Identify the community you will be using for this assignment
with the city and state and provide a brief one paragraph description of the
community. Your community should be the area where you live or the area
surrounding your work setting. The community must include a residential area
and be broad enough to answer the survey questions. You do not need demographic
data.
2.Windshield Survey: Assess your community
by doing a windshield survey.Information about the components of a windshield
survey is located in your textbook, Nies & McEwen (2015) on page 98 (Box
6-2). Drive through the area and report your observations by describing each
of the following six areas using a majority of the questions from each category
of Box 6-2 as your guide (one to two in depth paragraphs for each category). Be
sure to include what you observed related to each of these categories, and also
include any significant items that aremissing in your community
because this may be equally important in identifying a community health
problem.
a. Community vitality
b. Indicators of social
and economic conditions
c. Health resources
d. Environmental
conditions related to health
e. Social functioning
f. Attitude toward
healthcare
Note: It is helpful to
conduct this assessment at least two different times: during the day or
evening, on a weekday and/or on the weekend. If possible, plan on asking
someone to drive during your survey so that you can take notes.
3.Conclusion: Provide a summary of your findings.
Describe significant community health problems based on your observations. The
information gathered during the windshield survey should assist you to identify
community health problems that will be further assessed in the next assignment.
4.References: The purpose of this
assignment is to document your observations of your community.
Outside sources are not required. However, if sources are used, these sources
must be cited within the form (Author, year) and listed in the reference
section in APA format (see APA category in Course Resources for help with
formatting).
