Description
Community Data Assessment Project You will develop a proposed public health nursing intervention to meet an identified need and/ or gap in your own community. This must be within the scope of the staff level public health/ community health nurse. (Note: you cannot propose building facilities or purchasing a mobile health van). The intervention should demonstrate your application of previous learning in the program related to process improvement and evidence based nursing practice. Quality peer reviewed references are required to support the need as well as the structure, elements, and evaluation of the intervention. Focus on your own local community. You will use resources found in CANVAS, library, and the web to develop this project. Note that census and other epidemiological data is not available down to zip codes or census tracts in Florida- only by county and/ city.

I was thinking about writing the paper on STI in hendry county Florida. The rate of STI is greater in that county than the state of florida and the nation. The propsal could be something within the scope of a public health nurse. I was thinking maybe raising awareness every 6 months by planning an event or having a couple days in the year dedicated to conduct STI testing. I will attach the rubric and an assessment paper I wrote on the Hendry county community so you have some info one the community.
