Based on the Healthy People 2020 guidelines, this book provides strategies and advice on how communities can be mobilized to improve population health. It provides tools for gathering and analyzing population-related data and integrates the concepts of culture and community throughout. It also includes links to many Internet resources.
Intentionally, Healthy Places, Healthy People de-emphasizes the care of individuals and families, not because it is not important, but rather to introduce students to a kind of nursing practicefocused on health rather than disease, on communities rather than individuals, and on strengths as well as failings. Two chapters are devoted exclusively to community and cultural assessment, with a quick and easy-to-use assessment approach laid out in sidebar boxes throughout these chapters. It is ideal for undergraduate and graduate nursing students and practicing nurses who are not familiar with population-based culturally sensitive care.
