University of St. Augustine Oak Brook Community Presentation

Community Assessment & Planning (CAP) Project
The modified windshield survey is a composite of objective and subjective data that help define
a community, its trends, stability, and changes that will affect the health of the population. The
windshield survey must include the elements listed below. Use this format for reporting your
findings by including the categories as headings. The scope and depth of the assessment will be
important in the overall grading of the assignment.
Although you are required to actually conduct a common and iconic éndshield survey,9ou
also must acquire further objective evidence about the health status of the community.
Therefore, you need to search relevant databases from local, county, and state entities, such as
a county health department. In addition, census bureaus, town administrations, city halls,
libraries, chambers of commerce, fire and police departments, park districts, town Facebook
pages, city newspapers, are all resources that can contribute to a more thorough assessment of
the community.
