Question: What does your community want?
Before we make a plan for improving healthcare in our communities, we need to consider the perspective of community members. It's easy to assume that our perspectives on the community's needs are correct, but this can lead to big errors and wasted effort, time, and money. Even worse, when we assume the role of expert or savior we can victimize the communities we are trying to serve. Instead, we should ask non-leading questions and try to find the community voice. This assignment attempts to do that in the form of a community survey. Get top-rated assignment help now.
1. Begin by determining how you will find people to survey. Most of you will use a convenience sample (this means choosing a population because it is convenient for you to access).
Some examples are:
Send out an online/text survey
Post a link via social media
Parents' groups often receive high traffic and generate many responses
Collaborate with a local childbirth educator, yoga instructor, ob/gyn clinic, etc. to survey their clients
2. Develop your survey using google forms or a similar platform. Many platforms will generate pie charts and bar graphs for you which can be very helpful in your final presentation.
Create an opening paragraph to provide background info for your participants including:
