  13. What is a Needs and Resources Assessment? • A systematic process of gathering and critically interpreting information (data) about a particular health or social problem, and the resources available to address that problem, within a defined community.

  14. Why is it important? • We can ensure that we are actually addressing the community’s needs, not just what we think the needs are • Community members are engaged in the process and are therefore more willing to work on the issue because they are guiding the process • All stakeholders develop a shared understanding of community needs and resources • Needs and resources assessments are the foundation for planning

  15. Applying the Empowerment Evaluation Principles to Step One • Community Knowledge • Evidence-based strategies • Capacity building • Organizational learning • Accountability • Improvement • Community Ownership • Inclusion • Democratic participation • Social Justice

  16. Identifying a problem • What social issue/problem are you currently addressing in your program? -OR- • What social issue/problem would you like to be addressing in your program?

  17. Defining Community • Who is in your community? • Who are your stakeholders? • Who are you collecting information from? • Who needs to be involved in collecting and analyzing data? • What are their roles?

  18. Tools for Assessment

  19. Resources & Assets Mapping • Asset maps are used to identify the strengths, skills, capabilities, and talents that a community can use to create beneficial changes. • Community assets are grouped into three general categories: institutions, groups/organizations, and individuals.

  20. Types of Assets

  21. Existing Data Existing data sources can help you better understand the problem and/or your community • RI DataHUB • Census • Kids Count • Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) • Survey Works (SALT) data • State Departments of Education, Health • Your organization’s existing data • Other organization’s needs assessments • Data from local, state, or national studies

  22. Collecting New Data Common methods for collecting new data: • Surveys • Key Informant Interviews • Focus Groups • Community Meetings/Forums • Environmental Scans

  23. Surveys • Determine goal of survey • Select a sample • Find or write the questions • Open-ended vs. closed-ended • Test the survey • Administer the survey • Analyze the data • Share & use the results

  24. Key Informant Interviews • Structured conversations with formal and/or informal leaders in a community • Define the purpose of the interview(s) • Identify potential key informants • Generate the questions • Identify interviewer • Conduct the interviews • Interpret and report the results

  25. Focus Groups • A group of 6-8 people selected for their particular demographic, skills, experience, views, or position are asked a series of questions about a topic or issue to gather their opinions. • Group interaction is used to obtain detailed information about a particular issue. • Steps are similar to those used for key informant interviews

  26. Community Meeting/Forum • A public meeting is a larger setting that encourages community members to discuss community needs, prioritize needs, and steps to address the priority needs.

  27. Environmental Scans • Media & advertising scan • Policy scans • Community conditions scan

  28. Homework Conduct a mini-assessment to determine specific community needs & resources that relate to your program: • Pick at least one of the needs and resources assessment tools/methods • Implement the tool • Write a synopsis of your findings • Email the tool and findings to Jessica
