NRSG 4400 Unit 4 AssignmentWeek 10 ActivityUnit Outcome:Analyze the role that physical environment, including weather, geography, natural disasters, hazards, toxins, etc. can have on health outcomes for the vulnerable population (illicit narcotic/opioid abuse).Assignment Description:You will begin exploring the impact of environmental factors on population health. To do so, you will complete a multi-level assessment of the environment (Salt Lake City, Utah) in your area to determine potential hazards that disproportionately affect your vulnerable population.Assignment Directions:Based on the Public Health Indicator Based Information System (Links to an external site.), and your findings from your community assessment (Week 3), determine the impact that the physical environment has on the health of individuals within your selected population. Part 1: Identify environmental health hazards that adversely impact your population more so than the general population. List as many hazards as possible at each level (can be a bullet point list):By observation:Individual (smoking, diet, lifestyle, tanning, stress, hungry pet tiger, etc.)Home (loose area rugs, broken steps, lack of climate control, lead paint, etc.)Neighborhood/community (abandoned buildings, no street lights, poor roads, near factory, meth labs, etc.)According to reputable internet resources (provide APA citations/ref
erences):County/Regional (mining, inversion, extreme weather, natural disaster risks, etc.)State (similar to options for county but at state-wide level)Part 2: Answer the following questions based on your Environmental Assessment:What are the biggest hazards faced by your population? Is there a common theme among them?Which level do you feel is responsible for the most significant negative impact on health (home, community, region, state)? Which factor(s) at that level are particularly dangerous? Why?What steps can be taken to address hazards at that level? Explain.As an advocate for your population, what organization or person can you contact to address hazards at the county or state level? Provide exact information for an organization or person.Part 3:Watch the Guerrilla Gardener Ted Talk (Links to an external site.) on Food Deserts. Do you think this approach could be successful in your community? Why or why not?Go to the USDAÂ’s Food Desert Map (Links to an external site.), and enter your city and/or county What food deserts are near you? In areas where there is not a physical food desert, what social determinants of health may make a person still exist in a SOCIAL food desert (what barriers exist to them getting sustainable access to healthy food options, including, but going beyond socioeconomic status)?What can be done to address the physical and social food deserts?
