first level headings on your paper.
See the documents in the APA category
in Course Resources for assistance with APA formatting.

· 
[Introduction:] This beginning of your paper
should catch the reader’s attention with interesting facts about your community

and centered.

·  Community Overview: Identify the community that you
are assessing by name and state and provide a general description of the
community. What is the general character of the community? Statistics should
not be included here. Your community should be the area you live or work in and
should include a residential area. It should be a large enough area to answer
the questions in the text. This should be one
paragraph.

·  Demographic Data: Compile a range of demographic
(population description) data for your community by examining U.S. Census
Bureau reports. Using this data, describe your community. Compare your
community data to state or national data. A summary of this data should be no more than two paragraphs.

·  Epidemiological Data: Compile and summarize a range of
epidemiological (illness, morbidity, and mortality) data for your community by
examining data from sources such as city or county health department reports,
County Health Rankings (countyhealthrankings.org), or the Centers for Disease
Control to describe priority health problems in your area. See the Webliography
for applicable sites to search. Compare your community to state or national
data. This comparison will help to identify a priority community health problem
specific to your community. A summary of this data should be no more than two paragraphs.

·  Windshield Survey: Provide a summary of your observations from your first milestone. Make sure
to discuss observations related to your identified problem. This should be one to two paragraphs.

(not just a goal). Healthy
People

your community and factors that contribute to the problem. Avoid discussion of
interventions in this milestone.

o 
Include a discussion
of your problem with information from at least two scholarly sources (such as
professional journal articles).
(Review the
documents in the APA category in Doc Sharing for help in determining sources
that are considered scholarly—hint, .com websites are not considered scholarly
