 Prior to beginning work on this discussion, please watch the Unnatural Causes: Place Matters (Links to an external site.) video. The goal of this video and discussion is to introduce more real-world examples of determinants and demonstrate how strong of an impact they can have on a person’s quality of life. This is a two-part discussion that requires you to develop a table highlighting two positive and two negative neighborhood features and then take that information and place it on a grid that can be built upon by your classmates. Specific directions can be found below. 

 

Part 1: Brainstorm Neighborhood Features

Determine if you currently live in a rural/suburban or urban neighborhood. Brainstorm neighborhood features that could have positive or negative impacts on health in your neighborhood. Features may influence health directly or indirectly. For example, health benefits associated with local parks are exercise and community interaction.

Part 2: Create your Neighborhood Features Grid

Choose two neighborhood features and at least one positive and one negative health impact for each neighborhood features you identified in Part 1 (four health impacts total).

In this discussion, after reviewing the example table shown below, add the neighborhood features and health impacts you identified in Part 2 to create your own grid.

  • It is easiest to copy and paste the example table and then replace the sample content with your own.

Your grid and those of your classmates will then form the Neighborhood Features Table. Please note that this completed table should be used to address the assignment components, not the example table in the instructions.

Again, ensure that you do not repeat neighborhood features if they have already been mentioned by your classmates as this will impact your score.

After you have added the neighborhood features and health impacts you identified to the appropriate table, post your grid to the discussion forum for your classmates to view.
