Draft of Community Assessment

This milestone focuses on the assessment portion of the community assessment. The community assessment is the final written assignment for this course. In any scholarly endeavor, clinical investigation, professional practice, or exploration of a scholarly topic, it is vital that you use scholarly evidence to support your analyses. Careful thought and planning are required when creating a health strategy that arises from a community assessment. You must use reliable sources and correct APA formatting. You must incorporate all instructor feedback into the final project.

For this milestone assignment, you will provide a summary of the assessment portion of your community assessment, which will be submitted later in the course.
