From the community assessment, it was noted that a majority of the community members are predominantly Whites, and seemingly young. This observation aligns with the Census Bureau statistics that place 70% of the population living in Canyon County as Whites (U.S. Census Bureau, 2020).
Another notable aspect was that most of the members seemed to be from the Christian faith based on the number of churches compared to mosques or temples located within the community.

Slide 8

From the Mayo clinic vaccination tracker, Idaho appears to be the state with the lowest number of vaccinated people with just 44% against over 50% average across the country (Mayo Clinic, 2021), and this formed the basis of the community health promotion campaign.
From the physical assessment, it was also observed that a majority of the residents were following the COVID-19 prevention protocols including wearing masks and keeping of social distance in grocery stores, banks, and other public spaces. Hand hygiene protocols and temperature checks were also evident

Slide 9

In terms of nutrition, the neighborhood appeared to have sufficient avenues of access to proper nutrition. However, other socio-economic factors like low income and culture to some community members acted as barriers to proper nutrition.
According to statistics by the CDC, over 25% of adults and 8.8% of adolescents living in Idaho were obese. With regards to COVID-19, preliminary statistics showed that obese people were likely to have poor outcomes compared to those who were of healthy weight (Zhang et al., 2021)

Some of the sources of health care funding for the county include, state and federal funding through various programs, including Medicare and Medicaid. There is also community funding, through community-based organizations such as churches.
Local businesses also provide financial support to various health initiatives. Most of the partnerships touching on health initiatives involve churches, the business community, community residents through active mobilization, and schools and higher learning institutions.
Partnership between health care institutions and the government is also present, including in the current COVID-19 vaccination

Slide 11

The interviewed community health worker noted a high prevalence of cardiovascular illnesses, lifestyle diseases like obesity and type II diabetes, and respiratory illnesses as some of the health challenges faced by the community.
The community health worker also noted increasing cases of people facing mental health problems, more so depression especially among young people.

Slide 12

In terms of resources, the community health worker noted that the community had just enough resources but could still use more, especially human resources to meet the increasing need for health care services.
The community health worker noted two barriers preventing the achievement of positive health outcomes, which include poor lifestyle habits (poor nutrition habits and low uptake of physical activities), and low awareness, especially on mental health.
Some of the areas that have seen improvements regarding healthcare as noted by the community health worker include, increased sensitization on preventive health and health-seeking behaviors, increased rates of vaccination especially among children, and increased involvement of community stakeholders especially resource allocation to improve the health outcomes of the residents living in Canyon County.

Slide 13

During the interview, I also inquired from the community health worker, the community’s response to COVID-19. Given the challenges witnessed, he responded that it was way better with targeted efforts to sensitize the community on preventive measures, which the community complied with. Regarding health promotion, the community health worker noted that there were several ongoing health promotion initiatives with different areas of focus, with most of them showing positive results in terms of response from the community.
Currently, one of the health campaigns that is receiving a lot of focus in the community is to have people vaccinated against COVID-19. In this regard, the community health worker noted that a lot of efforts are being invested but much could still be done to have more people, especially the younger population vaccinated. Some of the noted challenges concerning the vaccination exercise include misinformation about vaccination and natural immunity. Lastly, the health worker recommended that more sensitization should be done to dispel the rumors and misinformation about the vaccine and the vaccination exercise.

Slide 14

Idaho is one of the states with the least Covid-19 vaccination rates across the country (Mayo Clinic, 2021),. This is despite evidence showing that vaccination is the most effective way of preventing severe disease and deaths from the virus.
Some of the reasons why the state is recording low vaccination rates could be because of misinformation about the vaccine and the entire vaccination exercise.
As such, there is an apparent opportunity to put in place a health promotion campaign to improve the rate of vaccination not only in Canyon County but the state as a whole.
