Executive Summary: Community Health Assessment
PX
A comprehensive community health assessment entails thorough data collection and analysis to
identify critical health issues and needs within a community. This process provides organizations
with a deep understanding of the community's requirements and current health status, enabling
the development of effective strategies to enhance overall health. This report examines the
SF
outcomes of previous initiatives, focusing on diabetes demographics in West Virginia. It

integrates insights from interviews with healthcare professionals, highlights elements of
intervention plans, and suggests approaches to promote cross-cultural collaboration.
Demographics Regarding Diabetes in West Virginia

R
In West Virginia, an estimated 250,000 individuals are believed to have diabetes, with an
additional 65,300 residents undiagnosed. In 2010, diabetes prevalence was 12% for males and
U
11.5% for females. The state's diverse population includes White, Asian, Hispanic, African
American, and other racial and ethnic groups. Education, a significant social determinant of
health, reveals disparities in diabetes cases between individuals with and without a high school
N
diploma. Accessible programs based on evidence-based lifestyle changes are crucial for
reducing diabetes risk (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2019).
Summary of Diabetes-Related Demographics in West Virginia
Call Us Now (516) 218-0006
Diabetes prevalence varies across racial and ethnic groups in West Virginia, with approximately
17% of Black individuals, 16% of White individuals, 9% of Asian Americans, 7% of non-Hispanic
Whites, and 11% of multiracial individuals living with diabetes. Annually, diabetes affects around
12,400 West Virginians, constituting roughly 16% of the adult population. Direct medical costs
for diabetes diagnosis in West Virginia in 2017 amounted to $2 billion, with an additional $640
million in indirect costs related to productivity losses (American Diabetes Association, 2018).
Demographics encompass various community characteristics, and epidemiology plays a vital

role in analyzing disease expression and consequences within a population.
m
Analysis of Findings from Healthcare Interviews
Engaging in constructive dialogues with healthcare professionals provides insights into

healthcare issues, prevention strategies, and population needs. Culturally and linguistically
o
appropriate services (CLAS) are valuable tools for ensuring equitable healthcare access.
Overcoming obstacles to implementing CLAS standards is essential for diabetic patients to
.c
receive high-quality, equitable care (Think Cultural Health, n.d.).
Key Components of Intervention and Health Promotion Plan

PX
Successful public health programs rely on effective communication, clear objectives,
well-defined strategies, and regular progress monitoring. Healthcare worker training is central to
providing diabetes care within the community. Key components of the intervention plan include
raising awareness among patients and staff, garnering support from stakeholders, and
SF
implementing evaluation criteria for success (Fernandez et al., 2019).
Strategies to Foster Cross-Cultural Collaboration
Cross-cultural competency is essential for effective healthcare delivery. Strategies for fostering
R
collaboration include spreading awareness, holding regular staff meetings, and acknowledgment
campaigns highlighting community diversity (Ladha et al., 2018).
U
Strategies Used by Stakeholders to Advocate for Intervention
Identifying and prioritizing key stakeholders, effective communication, and engagement are
N
essential for advocating health promotion plans. Overcoming challenges such as resource
constraints is crucial for stakeholder involvement (Byrne, 2019).
Professional Communication of Assessment

Given the diverse audience, professional communication reflecting respect, empathy, and
comprehension is imperative. Effective communication methods include genuine engagement,
summary reports, and a patient-centered approach (Arnold & Boggs, 2019).
Conclusion
An effective intervention strategy significantly impacts community health programs. Adhering to

CLAS standards promotes healthcare equality, while epidemiological tools aid in understanding
the community's unique needs. Success in healthcare interventions depends on clear,
professional communication and the implementation of effective strategies.
