The Context for Needs Assessment Past, Present, and Future.- The Process of Needs Assessment.- Data Sources for Public Health Needs Assessment.- Communicating Needs for Community Action.- The Selection and Use of Indicators.- Determining and Developing Solutions.- Effecting Program and Policy Solutions.- The Needs Assessment Team.- A Call for Leadership.
"The book is practical and provides useful information for both the
public health students and practitioners on a topic that is
important to successful program development and advocacy."
(CHOICE, (2002)
"This book would also be an excellent resource for classroom
teaching. The authors have provided though-provoking and
challenging discussion questions at the end of each chapter that
could be used to guide a class through the assessment process. In a
class in which students are actually charged with completing a
community assessment, this book would be an invaluable tool. I
would recommend this book to public health professionals, and to
teachers working with students of health education, public health,
nursing and public policy. It is brief, to the point and full of
useful tools for anyone planning a community needs assessment."
(Health Education Research (2002)
"Given the dual purpose of this book as a textbook for students and
a handbook for professionals, the chapters follow the typical
sequence of an actual needs-assessment process: Case studies are
used to illustrate conceptualization of the task, followed by the
application of needs-based data, which is followed by the creation
of effective public health solutions."
(Administration and Policy in Mental Health, 30:6 (2003)
