Assignment Overview

Select a vulnerable population in your community. To do this, conduct  a windshield survey in your community.

Conduct research on your chosen population via the Internet  and by calling or visiting your local health department. Develop a  PowerPoint presentation to communicate your observations and research.  An example listing of vulnerable populations has been included for your  consideration.
