A Windshield Survey gives an objective overview of a community. Information obtained from this exercise can be used to identify a community’s strengths and weaknesses. These direct observations allow one to better understand the environment in which individuals live and interact. This information can help us better understand the health status of the individuals within the community and the community as a whole.
If the agency you have signed up for an interview with is not in your area, students may conduct the windshield survey using Google Maps or Google Earth to find out the information about the area. You may also find other helpful information online.
As part of the Windshield Survey of the community, you will need to gather some demographic information about this community. This information can be found online through city or county websites. Include the following information:
Population statistics: Total population, broken out by age, race, and gender.
Median information compared to the state, age, income, house values, and educational attainment.
Health Data, mortality, morbidity, chronic diseases, prevalent diseases.
Data regarding communities can be found at the following sites:
Healthy People 2030
CDC
National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH)
National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System (NNDSS)
Neighborhood Scout
County Health Rankings
US Census Bureau, and the Quick Facts site that provides statistics for all states and counties with a population of 5,000 or more
Maryland Department of Health Vital Statistics and Reports,
National Vital Statistics System
USA location Information (you will need to type in the name of the location in the search bar).You can also find information about the community regarding identified social problems.
This statistical data, along with the observational data from your windshield survey, will be needed as you construct your community health promotion plan.
Conducting the survey by Car (Optional): If the agency you are going to interview is in your area, you can also drive around a predetermined community (or have another drive while you take notes) and gather information about various aspects of the community.
You may use the Windshield Survey Tool found in the Week 3 Required Reading and Resources section for collecting your data. The survey tool provided is for recording your data during your survey. You should NOT submit the tool as the completed assignment. Please refer to the Practice Experience Guide for information on conducting the Windshield survey by car.
