Community Needs Assessment

Imagine that you have identified an issue within your community and are going to do a needs assessment.

Address the following in your outline:

• Identify an issue in your community that the needs assessment will be focusing on and provide a brief history of the problem.
• Describe the necessary steps in the planning process for determining which needs assessment tool will be used.
• Explain the assessment tool that will be used.
• Discuss the plans for implementing the needs assessment tool.
