For this assignment each class member will select a Colorado County to create the first section of a CHA process, which is the Community Profile. This is an individual assignment. You may select any county of your choice (ok to duplicate this time). The intention of this short report is to provide the process with an in-depth description of important aspects of the community and the population. The areas that should be covered, but are not limited to are listed below. I recommend each bullet as a subtitle, although you may wish to have more than these subtitles or you might combine some of these subtitles. Definitely do include subtitles. As always, follow APA guidelines (Cover Page, Reference Page, Citations, Format). General County Overview Where is it located within the state? Geographical Features (urban, rural, lakes, mountains) The Population Racial, ethnic, gender, and age distribution Social Determinates of Health education, employment, average income Examples of data sources for this information include, but are not limited to: The website of your County US Census Bureau Economic Census Census of Governments Economic Indicator Reports American Community Survey Geographic Information Systems Examples of County Health Assessments can be found on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website (CDC) This assignment should cover this information in a complete by concise way, so there will not be a page requirement, generally 3 pages is sufficient. Keep in mind that it is often community decision-makers reading the CHA documents, so the clearer the better. This is a written assignment, and should follow all of the APA paper formatting requirements. Community Social structures culture, religion, history Community Environment Politics, economic conditions, housing
