Complete a windshield survey for your community (where you currently live): A windshield survey is an initial look at the community through a cars windshield. The observer uses their senses (i.e., sight, hearing, and smell) to learn about the community. During the drive, make observations and assess factors that impact health. The windshield survey can lead to a more comprehensive assessment by raising awareness of issues for further analysis. During the drive, look for the answers to the following questions:
What are the demographics of the community? Use statistics from the local/city, government websites.
What resources do you see available in the community? Resources may include libraries, thriving local businesses, recreational centers, drug/alcohol rehabilitation centers, youth centers, churches and other features that may provide support to the community members.
Are most of the housing in the community, single-family or apartments? What is the condition of the housing? Homelessness?
What types of jobs are available in the community? Would people in the area likely hold these jobs?
What types of grocery stores are available in the community? Is there a Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) center and Food bank in the community? If not, where are the closest ones?
How do people get around in the community? Is public transportation available?
What opportunities are available for exercise? Are parks available? Do the neighborhoods appear safe to walk in?
Where can people go for healthcare services (medical, dental, vision, etc.)? Any free/low cost clinics? Family planning clinics?
What challenges/barriers (lack of resources) did you observe?
What is a potential environmental health risk you noticed?
What kind of prevention measures or interventions would you (a PHN) conduct to minimize the hazardous exposure or to improve the health of your community?
Submit your findings using PowerPoint (1-2 slides per question) via the Windshield Survey Assignment Link.
Notes:
Be reminded to indicate which city you survey on the cover page.
You should take pictures and add them to your PowerPoint. However, do not take pictures of individuals/clients in the community.
The safest way to complete this is to have one person drive and another person take pictures for the Windshield Survey PowerPoint.
An exemplar of the PowerPoint is attached. The Ppt. is in detailed, go over and beyond the course requirements. However, the photos are a bit crowded.
