This video and discussion aim to introduce more real-world examples of determinants and demonstrate how strong of an impact they can have on a person’s quality of life.

This is a two-part discussion that requires you to develop a table highlighting two positive and two negative neighborhood features, and then take that information and place it on a grid that your classmates can build on. Specific directions are as follows.

Part 1: Brainstorm Neighborhood Features

Determine if you currently live in a rural, suburban, or urban neighborhood. Brainstorm neighborhood features that could have positive or negative impacts on health in your neighborhood. Features may influence health directly or indirectly (for example, health benefits associated with local parks are exercise and community interaction).

Part 2: Create Your Neighborhood Features Grid

Choose four neighborhood features and at least one positive and one negative health impact for each selected neighborhood feature (eight health impacts total). If you live in a rural area, copy the rural table; if you live in an urban or suburban area, copy the urban table.

In this discussion, after reviewing the following example tables, copy and paste the neighborhood features table that matches your community (rural or urban) to your posting to create your own grid. Highlight four neighborhood features and note at least one positive and one negative attribute in the third column. Discuss ways to mitigate the negative attribute.

NOTE: It is easiest to copy and paste the example table and then replace the sample content with your own.

Again, ensure that you
do not repeat neighborhood features if they have already been mentioned by your classmates, as this will impact your score. Similar to Week 1, it is somewhat like a competition, as those who post early have the broadest selection of factors.

After you have added the identified neighborhood features and health impacts to the appropriate table cell, post your grid to the discussion forum for your classmates to review.
