The first part of a community needs assessment is to develop a plan or approach to evaluating what resources are needed. Why is having a plan in place important for conducting a community needs assessment?
  1. To give community members a voice
  2. To give participants straightforward procedures
  3. To save time and excessive effort
  4. All of the above
Explanation
Answer: D - A community needs assessment explores the resources already in place, along with the strengths of a particular community, while identifying lacking areas or concerning issues. To carry out an effective community needs assessment, an initial plan is needed. This plan provides an opportunity for community members to voice concerns, opinions, and hopes. The plan also helps participants know exactly what to do by providing guidelines, and procedures. Having an initial plan also can help with saving time, money, and unnecessary labor.
