Politics, Government, & Economics

A community assessment begins with a basic windshield survey where each community subsystem is explored. Explore the political, governmental, and economic influences on public health. Learners will develop prevention strategies for a chosen illness/disease using the community health levels of prevention. Meet with Mayor Franklin Hill who will provide additional insights into these subsystems.
