Abstract
Community health assessment is a structured methodology aimed at identifying and prioritizing health needs within a specific community. This systematic process involves gathering comprehensive data on demographics, health behaviors, and healthcare resources by trained nurses. The gathered information serves as a foundation for developing targeted health interventions and programs tailored to the community's specific needs. By analyzing these factors, nurses can effectively contribute to improving the overall health and well-being of the community they serve. This abstract outlines the essential components and objectives of community health assessment, highlighting its critical role in public health strategy and intervention planning.
