Community Level Interventions
The windshield survey summary will require you to apply what you have learned through your basic windshield survey of Sentinel City® to a target population of your choosing. You will complete your project by comparing data from Sentinel City® with similar data from the city where your target population lives.
Your presentation will include
9 parts
, which are described in detail below and include details in the speaker notes.
I. Introduction
Provide a brief introduction that identifies the demographics for the city where your target population lives.
II. Description of Your Target Population

In this section, you will describe the demographic characteristics of your chosen target population, including the population’s socioeconomic status, vital statistics, education level, religion, and occupations. Include a table, graph, and/or figure display that includes relevant demographic data for your target population.
III. Comparison of Sentinel City Demographic Data

IV. Key Health Concerns or Issues
Present a list of the top 3 health concerns for your target population. Provide a brief description of these concerns and include data from your target population city that supports the rationale for selecting these health concerns. Select one of the 3 health concerns you identified and state why you decided to develop an intervention that addresses these particular health concerns/issues. Include the Healthy People 2020 objective that relates to your identified health concerns.
V. Community Health Nursing Diagnosis

above average BMI rates
.
Increased risk of
depression
among
persons with a physical disability
related to the
lack of handicap accessible facilities and social isolation
as demonstrated by
high suicide rate

Describe your proposed intervention that will address the
community health nursing diagnosis for your target population.
You may choose to develop your own intervention or modify
one that was recommended by the Task Force on Community
Preventive Services (TFCPS).
To view recommended interventions, visit the TFCPS website
and select the topic you plan on addressing for your
intervention. (Note: at the bottom of most topic pages on the
TFCPS website there is a sample on how to cite the
webpage. After reviewing the topics, click the “Resources” tab
then click “Fact Sheets”. Here you may find fact sheets to share
with your mentor at your practice learning site.)
Whether you modify an existing intervention or develop one of
4. your own, you must discuss why this intervention will or why
you needed to modify it because it would not work for your
target population. Include advantages, population fit, and
barriers in use of the intervention. You should include the long-
term goals, two measurable objectives, and the required
resources such as: time, equipment, finances, etc. [Note: you are
not required to carry out your intervention]
VII. Evaluation Plan
Describe your method for evaluating the objectives of your
intervention (for example, pre/post-test, survey, questionnaire,
phone interview). Include one long term goal and two short-

Example of goals and measurable objectives:
Goal - To increase my potential for promotion at my place of
