Unit IV Reflection Paper

For this exercise, read the following scenario, and respond to the questions provided.

You are assessing a rural town with a population of about 12,000 people. The economic base of the town includes farming and a small manufacturing plant. You begin by conducting a windshield survey in which you drive around the area and record your impressions of the apparent resources and deficiencies. In the main street downtown area, you see the following:

 a municipal building,

 a grange.

 a library,

 three antique stores,

 two banks,

 one physician practice, one law practice, one dental office, and

 an auto supply store.

On the road leading into town are two motels, a supermarket, two banks, a gas station, a chain drugstore, a car dealership, five different fast food restaurants, a bowling alley, a hospital, and a big box store.

While driving around town for an hour or two, you also notice the following:

 five churches, one of which is operating a food pantry;

 a police department, a fire department, a county health department;

 one community college, one high school, two middle schools, four elementary schools;

 three small markets; and

 a crisis pregnancy center.

If secondary data sources you have been examining suggest that underage drinking and driving is a problem in the community, where would you go to gather first-hand or primary information about the problem? What types of questions would you ask?

Where would you go if the primary data sources suggested that cardiovascular disease had a disproportionate impact on the death rate in this community? How do your answers to the preceding questions differ?

Your response should be at least 150 words.
