  • Review the problem you developed in your Week 3 Assignment, the secondary quantitative dataset you identified in the Week 4 Discussion, the quantitative and qualitative questions you compared in the Week 9 Assignment, and Chapter 9 from the text by Soriano.
  • Consider how you would complete a community health assessment by using the problem, the quantitative data set, and the research questions you developed in Weeks 3, 4, and 9 and by collecting additional data from the community using a CBPR approach throughout.
