Setting Community Health Priorities
CB3052 |
This course is designed to teach public health
professionals how to set community health priorities. In this simulation,
the learner assumes the role of "Local Health Planner" for the
county health department. The simulation begins as the local Health
Officer asks the learner to analyze last years mortality data in order
to prioritize health concerns for the following year. The learner proceeds
through various tutorials and readings about related topics and then
attends a simulated meeting with local community members to set health
priorities for the community. The course is based on the eight steps of
The Community Process, which is one part of the Assessment Protocol for
Excellence in Public Health (APEX-PH) program. The goal for this program
is for the learner to be able to follow a process that involves both the
health department and the community in determining health priorities for
the community by evaluating and balancing community-expressed and
data-driven priorities.
