PHPR826

This course requires students to prepare key elements of a community health assessment, with an emphasis on pharmacy services, for a rural Arizona community of their choice. Students will use secondary data like census and state vital statistics to examine their chosen community's health status. Additionally, students will collect primary data using: surveys, key informant interviews, focus groups, and a windshield survey. Students will prepare a written report that summarizes and analyzes their findings in order to suggest possible topics for future pharmacy research or intervention within their selected rural community. This report will be shared in a presentation to the student's academic and community colleagues.
