Week’s Goals and Objectives
The primary objectives of the community practice activities during the forthcoming week lay in understanding and identifying the most common medical issues or biases in today’s community. These goals will be reached with the help of a survey that implies interviewing random people in the streets. This experience is important for being aware of the most challenging and widespread diseases among the new generation.
Week’s Detailed Schedule
- Monday: Selecting the most inhabited areas and considering various strategies of the survey
- Tuesday: Making appropriate questions to ask people and to find their major health biases.
- Wednesday: Planning the discussed above survey and delegating the project members’ responsibilities.
- Thursday: Interviewing people and making records of their answers, complaints, and biases to analyze and compare them later.
- Friday: Analysing the gathered results, evaluating data, and making statistics of the group’s findings.
Placement Issue
Although the primary concepts of our goals and objectives were clear, one issue emerged during the last week. The problem laid in comparing the gathered results on Friday because every interviewed person gave specific and somewhat unclear answers to the prepared questions. Therefore, I had to rephrase and reconsider all of the answers to compare them properly.
Objective Description
As it was mentioned above, the main goal of this week is to identify the most common health biases or issues that the young generation is obliged to deal with on a daily basis (Richardson, Williams, Rath, Villanti, & Vallone, 2014). This survey also has an aim to consider and implement various medical methods to fight the emerged problems. It is a well-known fact that today’s youth has many more health issues than the older generation does (Daniels, 2015). This problem is caused by the computer era that makes people sit in front of their screens daily, whereas older people used to be occupied with active professions that strengthened their health.
