Week 2/Assignment 1: Community Windshield Survey Tutorial Transcript
Hello! This will be a brief tutorial of the first assignment. The first assignment is due
Sunday of Week 2, no later than 11:59pm MT. This Community Windshield Survey will
give you an opportunity to look at your community through new lenses. During this
Windshield Survey, you will have someone drive you through your community several
times so that you can observe your area from the perspective of a community health
nurse. You can choose to focus on the community where you live or where you work,
but be sure it includes a residential area. If you live in a small town, you will be able to
include the entire town in the survey. For those in larger cities, choose a section of the
city to explore. Be sure that the area you observe is large enough to include the
resources that people living in this area typically use. You can include observations from
parking lots, grocery stores, and restaurants as well.
Carefully review the community Windshield Survey Guidelines located in the Week 2
module. These are your roadmap and should be followed step by step. Be sure to visit
the Week 2 online lesson to watch a mock windshield survey created in second life that
can help you with this assignment. Read the experts observations to give you some
ideas about what is expected.
Next, read the questions in Box 6.2 in your Nies & McEwen text titled “Questions to
Guide Community Observations During a Windshield Survey.” The Windshield Survey
questions in the text will guide your observations of six key elements.
•
•
•
•
•
•
Community vitality
Social and economic conditions
Health resources
Environmental health conditions
Social functioning and
The community’s overall attitude toward healthcare
You will be completing this assignment on the template provided. It is recommended
you download or have the community windshield survey template nearby when
completing this assessment. The template provides the areas you will want to look for.
You will also be identifying a vulnerable population that you observed in your community
during your drive through. What did you observe about this population? Then, based on
your assessment in the survey above, identify and discuss one priority community
health problem that a community health nurse could positively impact. For example: If
you observed teens who were pregnant or had young children during your survey and
felt this was a priority problem in your community, the diagnosis could be risk of
unintended pregnancy among adolescent girls in XXXX community as evidence by
observation of pregnant teens and teens caring for young children during windshield
survey.
The next step will be to link to a Healthy People 2020 Objective. Go to the Healthy
People topic areas. Find a topic area that relates to one of the vulnerable populations
you observed. Click on the topic area, and then click on the green Objectives tab.
Review the objectives within that topic area to complete the relevant sections of the
form. State the Healthy People 2020objective number (not just a goal) that describes
your problem. For example: The topic area Family Planning would be relevant. You
would click on Family Planning, and then click the green Objectives tab, and you might
choose
FP-8.1 “Reduce pregnancies among adolescent females aged 15 to 17 years” (U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services: Healthy People 2020, 2018, Objectives:
Family Planning, para 8).
The final component will be to complete the summary of learning section. And
remember, the purpose of this assignment is to document your observations of your
community. Outside sources other than Healthy People 2020 should not be used. We
have included this reference on the Windshield Survey form for you.
Again, review your typing for correct grammar and spelling. Look for the wavy lines
under words or phrases and right click to see the suggestions for corrections. Compare
your paper to the A column of the grading rubric at the end of the guidelines to make
sure that you have met all the criteria. Save your form with your name on it, and submit
it to the by the end of Week 2. Be sure to use the template provided in the course.
Best wishes, I hope you have found this to be helpful!

Guidelines
Below are the requirements needed for successful completion of the Windshield Survey
Form.
1. Introduction to the Community: Identify the community you will be using for this
assignment with the city and state, and provide a brief, one-paragraph description of
the community. Your community should be the area where you live or the area
surrounding your work setting. The community must include a residential area and be
a large enough area to answer the survey questions. Do not include epidemiological or
demographic data as this is based on what you observe.
2. Windshield Survey: Assess your community by doing a windshield survey.
Information about the components of a windshield survey is located in your textbook,
Nies and McEwen (2019). Drive through the area and report your observations by
answering the questions on the form. Be sure to include what you observed related to
each of these categories, and also include any significant items that are missing in
your community because this may be equally important in identifying a community
health problem.
a. Community vitality
b. Indicators of social and economic conditions
c. Health resources
d. Environmental conditions related to health
e. Social functioning
f. Attitude toward healthcare
Note: It is helpful to conduct this assessment at least two different times: during the
day or evening, on a weekday, and/or on the weekend. If possible, plan on asking
someone to drive during your survey so that you can take notes.
3. Vulnerable population: Identify the aggregate or vulnerable populations that you
observed in your community during your drive through. What did you observe about
this population?
4. Community problem: Based on your assessment in the survey above, identify and
discuss one priority community health problem that a community health nurse could
positively impact.
Example: If you observed teens who were pregnant or had young children during your
survey and felt this was a priority problem in your community, the diagnosis could be
Risk of unintended pregnancy among adolescent girls in XXXX community as
evidence by observation of pregnant teens and teens caring for young children during
windshield survey.
5. Healthy People 2020 Objective: Go to the Healthy People topic areas at
https://www.healthypeople.gov/2020/topics-objectives. Find a topic area that relates to
one of the vulnerable populations you observed. Click on the topic area, and then click
on the green Objectives tab. Review the objectives within that topic area to complete
the relevant sections of the form. State the Healthy People 2020 objective number (not
just a goal) that describes your problem.
Example: The topic area Family Planning would be relevant. You would click on
Family Planning, and then click the green Objectives tab, and you might choose
FP-8.1 “Reduce pregnancies among adolescent females aged 15 to 17 years” (U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services: Healthy People 2020, 2018, Objectives:
Family Planning, para 8).
6. Summary: Complete the summary of learning section.
7. References: The purpose of this assignment is to document your observations of your
community. Outside sources other than Healthy People 2020 should not be used. We
have included this reference on the Windshield Survey form for you.
