Notably, in 2004 a significant amount (53%, or $8,373) was raised for the epublican Party (campaignmoney.com). A predominant party affiliation can be gleaned from campaign contribution data such as that found on CampaignMoney.com. Although 21206 votes primarily Democrat, there are notable election cycles and campaigns in which the epublican candidate took the seat.
Political posters are displayed proudly immediately before an election cycle, but during the remainder of the year the community is not visibly engaged in politics. Yet due to the split demographics, community meetings can be lively. Campaign contributions tend to be low overall, based on the data contained on CampaignMoney.com.

3. Media

esidents of 21206 do boast satellite dishes, but many residents also use cable television. adio is used, too. Print media is practically dominated by the Baltimore Sun, which is distributed to a large number of homes in the area. Because the demographics of the 21206 postal code…...

indshield Survey
This "windshield survey" of the Bronx shows that while the borough struggled a bit during the recent recession, the Bronx appears to be quite vibrant socially, economically on the rebound, with good housing and healthcare albeit air pollution and other environmental problems exist, as well.

Community Vitality

If "vitality" measures the social and economic health of the community, it can be said that the Bronx is doing very well. The Bronx is home to "…nearly a dozen colleges and universities" and it has the Bronx Zoo (a world class zoo), the New York Botanical Garden (considered among the best in the nation), and Sunshine Bronx is a cooperative that shows the growth spirit of the Bronx. Hunts Point at Sunshine Bronx is on the upswing, according to Adam Davidson writing in The New York Times. It has fresh supplies of produce, fish and meat, and it sells meat and fish to…...

Epidemiological Issues in Windshield Survey
Epidemiological Triangle Emphasis

The two most important parts of the epidemiological triangle in relation to sexually transmitted disease would be the host element and the environment element and the least important would be the pathogen element. That is because sexually transmitted diseases rely on human behavior for transmission rather than inherent aspects of the diseases themselves.

Unlike airborne pathogens and other diseases whose capacity to infect patients is substantially a function of the pathogens themselves, sexually transmitted diseases cannot infect victims outside of circumstances initiated by the potential victims. Therefore, prevention efforts should focus on addressing human behaviors that are capable of being changed. That part of the epidemiological triangle relates to individual awareness, behavioral choices, and situational awareness of individuals.

However, because human behavior in individuals is so much a function of community values, beliefs, norms, and mores, the second part of the epidemiological triangle is also crucial…...

Subject: WINDSHIELD SUVEYBorough Park Windshield SurveyBorough recreation area, 11219 zip code, is situated in southeast New York City. 11219 zip code is an element of Kings District.

Windshield Survey on Community Health Nursing
This survey is out of San Jose, California to define 3 out of 5 aspects (mental, emotional, physical, social, and spiritual health) of a community that could affect health. These communities are based out of specific groups in the San Jose neighborhoods who reside in close areas and sometimes even share the same cultural and historical backgrounds. In the public health sector of this area, we are concerned with the evaluation and enhancement of the well-being of the population, as well as, its application and community health nursing education and practices. One main health indicator that we have observed is the responsibility of sexual behavior. Therefore, this windshield survey below will address each of the components we have listed as they relate to the people of San Jose, California.

Community Assessment: Bayville, NJAbstractThis paper provides a windshield survey of Bayville, NJ, and identifies useful statistics and data helpful in understanding the characteristics of the community as they pertain to community health. The community of Bayville is coastal with many opportunities for outdoors recreation in the summer months, from boating to playing in the parks or fields. It has numerous churches for various religious affiliations, which offer organizations and programs for members and non-members alike. The community is below the national average in terms of physicians to residents, but health care access is available in the surrounding greater township. The average worker commutes thirty minutes to work each day, which can add to the strain of labor. Additionally, unemployment in Bayville has risen year over year, and this is not a negligible threat to the mental and physical health of the community, as there is a direct link between the…...

Mooresville
Like many of the small towns throughout the United States, Mooresville offers a variety of residents. The groups that were observed during the window survey includes a lot of young and middle-aged families with a mixture of grandparents who seem to be the primary caregivers for their grandchildren (at least they seemed that way). A lot of the individuals seemed to be overweight, and even obese, in their physical stature. esearch shows that many of the citizens are employed and the types of jobs that are prevalent in the town are management and professional jobs at 19.5%, service occupations at 11.9% and sales and office workers at 13.9%. Other male prevalent jobs are construction, extraction and maintenance at 27.6%. Female job occupations include management and professional at 28.5% with an additional 40.5% in sales and office work as well as 17.6% in service occupations.

Windshield Survey of Diabetes in the Asian-Indian Community in Plainsboro, New Jersey: Planning, Implementation, and Evaluation
As the home to the second-largest population of Asian-Indians in the United States today (the first is another nearby small community, Edison, New Jersey) (Sahney, 2010). Out of a population of around 23,500, 16.97% of the residents of Plainsboro (or about 4,000) describe themselves as having Indian ancestry (Sahney, 2010). Although Plainsboro enjoys a high standard of living, a desirable community environment and state-of-the-art medical facilities, it is reasonable to suggest that some of the Asian-Indian population in this community remain marginalized due to an inability to afford these state-of-the-art health care services and the potential for cross-cultural differences in views about health care may further exacerbate this lack of access.

A growing body of evidence also indicates that Asian-Indians are among the highest-risk populations for developing diabetes, making this community an especially important target for…...

Community Health Assessment: Windshield SummaryGeneral Condition and Public Health NeedsIn the heart of Catron County, New Mexico, a comprehensive survey spanning from the residential hubs of eserve to the commercial veins of Datil, reveals a community rich in diversity yet facing unique challenges. Within eserve, the housing landscape is a tapestry of time, where modern homes stand alongside structures echoing over half a century of history. This juxtaposition extends to the yards, where the care given varies from meticulously tended gardens to spaces reclaimed by nature, symbolizing the varying socioeconomic statuses within the community.Public spaces like Cruzville Park offer communal solace, serving as green oases amidst the rural expanse. Yet, despite their upkeep, these areas lack the vibrancy brought by cafes and vendors, pointing towards a missed opportunity for social interaction and economic activity. The streets of Datil, meanwhile, pulse with commercial life. At the Eagle Guest anch Store and…...

Diagnosis
The relevance of maintaining healthy communities cannot be overstated. In basic terms, communities should be designed and maintained in a way that promotes the well-being of their inhabitants. In so doing, such communities could end up realizing not only the economic but also the social benefits of a happier, healthier, and more productive society. There is therefore a need to assess and diagnose the key health problems specific to various communities. This way, lasting and innovative solutions can be sought and implemented to rein in the identified health problems.

For this particular assignment, I will concern myself with North Las Vegas which also happens to be one of the largest cities in Nevada.

Water Crisis: Windshield Survey of Jackson, MSJackson, MS is a city located in central Mississippi. As of 2020, the city\\\'s population was estimated to be around 160,000 people. The vast majority of residents are African American (82%), and the median household income is relatively low ($40,000). Jackson also has a high rate of poverty and crime (Data USA, 2022). Unfortunately, these socio-economic factors have led to poor health outcomes for many residents. The city\\\'s mortality rate is higher than the national average, and residents are more likely to suffer from chronic illnesses such as obesity and diabetes. There has also been a water crisis in the area that is ongoing and which is the subject of this assessment. In recent years, there have been efforts to improve the health of the community through initiatives such as childhood obesity prevention programs and expanding access to healthcare. However, much more work needs…...

Health Promotion and Dr. Green’s Precede-Proceed Model Introduction
Using Dr. Green’s Precede-Proceed Model, the Healthy People 2020 objective of promoting physical activity can be developed into a strategy. The target population of this particular objective consists of adults at a behavioral health clinic located in a low income area. My plan is to execute a 7-week exercise class with health education to promote physical activity. The goal of the plan is to embed physical activity in the daily lives and routines of the adult clients at the clinic. This paper will examine the 7 phases of the Precede-Proceed Model and show how they apply to the Healthy People 2020 objective described above.
Phase 1: Social Assessment and Situational Analysis
The health status of the low income community in which our behavioral health clinic is situated is not the best. A windshield survey indicates that few people are outdoors exercising, playing sports in parks, walking,…...

Obesity and Diabetes: A Community Health Problem
Many people do not consider obesity to be a deadly non-communicable disease -- and yet research shows that obesity is one of the main causes of death in American communities, and it is growing (Tabish, 2007). The community chosen for this paper is a typical, demographically diverse suburban Middle America community: the city is Pueblo, Colorado. The vulnerable population chosen here is the community's children. Children are especially vulnerable to the risk of obesity and by extension diabetes. This paper will review why this is so and what a community health nurse can do to help address the issue. The purpose of this paper will be to identify strengths, risks and barriers associated with this population's vulnerability to obesity and diabetes and what can be done to actively combat this problem.

Vulnerable Population Overview
