Where There Is No Doctor 2010 Finding Out the Needs As a health worker, you will first want to find out your people’s most important health problems and their biggest concerns. To gather the information necessary to decide what the greatest needs and concerns really are, it may help to make up a list of questions. On the next 2 pages are samples of the kinds of things you may want to ask. But think of questions that are important in your area. Ask questions that not only help you get information, but that get others asking important questions themselves. Do not make your list of questions too long or complicated—especially a list you take from house to house. Remember, people are not numbers and do not like to be looked at as numbers. As you gather information, be sure your first interest is always in what individuals want and feel. It may be better not even to carry a list of questions. But in considering the needs of your community, you should keep certain basic questions in mind. w9
Where There Is No Doctor 2010 Sample Lists of Questions To Help Determine Community Health Needs And at the Same Time Get People Thinking FELT NEEDS What things in your people’s daily lives (living conditions, ways of doing things, beliefs, etc.) do they feel help them to be healthy? What do people feel to be their major problems, concerns, and needs—not only those related to health, but in general? HOUSING AND SANITATION What are different houses made of? Walls? Floors? Are the houses kept clean? Is cooking done on the floor or where? How does smoke get out? On what do people sleep? Are flies, fleas, bedbugs, rats, or other pests a problem? In what way? What do people do to control them? What else could be done? Is food protected? How could it be better protected? What animals (dogs, chickens, pigs, etc.), if any, are allowed in the house? What problems do they cause? What are the common diseases of animals? How do they affect people’s health? What is being done about these diseases? Where do families get their water? Is it safe to drink? What precautions are taken? How many families have latrines? How many use them properly? Is the village clean? Where do people put garbage? Why? POPULATION How many people live in the community? How many are under 15 years old? How many can read and write? What good is schooling? Does it teach children what they need to know? How else do children learn? How many babies were born this year? How many people died? Of what? At what ages? Could their deaths have been prevented? How? Is the population (number of people) getting larger or smaller? Does this cause any problems? How often were different persons sick in the past year? How many days was each sick? What sickness or injuries did each have? Why? How many people have chronic (long-term) illnesses? What are they? How many children do most parents have? How many children died? Of what? At what ages? What were some of the underlying causes? How many parents are interested in not having any more children or in not having them so often? For what reasons? (See Family Planning, p. 283.) w10
