Write a description of the community needs you have identified as well as the health promotion topic you selected as the focus of your community program project. (the Auburn/ Opelika, AL community needs are access to better dental care, activities to reduce cardiovascular disease, and reducing rates of cancer.) The health promotion topic is improving cardiovascular health through exercise by organizing a bicycle to work community events.
Then, describe holistic modalities, and barriers within the Auburn/Opelika, Alabama community that might adversely impact the improvement of health behavior outcomes.
Finally, explain whether there are community resources designed to address these community needs and help patients overcome these barriers and minimize risk behaviors (i.e., health promotion media, handouts, support groups, etc.).
If there are no resources available within this community, describe resources that could be offered at clinics and other community locations.
