SECOND LEVEL ASSESSMENT

Failure to utilize community resources for health care

Failure to utilize community resources for health care due to inaccessibility of required service due to
inadequate knowledge. The problem is partially modifiable upon the consideration of the following
criteria:

-Family manpower resources are available; the family can go to the Barangay Health Center to avail
those vaccines. Community resources are available; the Barangay Health Center offers the EPI program
of the Department of Health (DOH).

The problem has a low preventive potential as reflected on the following reasons:

-Many of the family members are affected by the problem.

-The family does not have any management on this problem since their awareness to this
problem is not evident.

The family knows that this is a problem but perceives to have no need of immediate action.
