I.     One person can talk about what’s on the Wiki (( LM ))

II. What’s missing / what we want to add

a.     Add different methods: SWAT (MT)

b.     Needs assessment affects public policy and how they are used (LF)

c.     Community needs assessment: different types of community needs assessment. (( LM ))

d.     Types of data / data collection (LM)

e.     Specific cases - Citing examples of needs assessments (MT)

f.     History: WTH is the 13 societal needs? Doesn’t make sense. Needs context. May need to reread and rewrite. Adding context to the different model and citations are needed for the models currently listed. (LF)

III. How the MPRs we read incorporated a needs assessment

Hi Laura & Marion,

Here's my 1st rought draft of part 1 of my wiki assignment...This is "Community Needs Assessment/Types of Community Needs Assessment" I'm going to expand further on how a community needs assessment is conducted but the "types of" section is pretty much complete. Please don't be shy if you have input or don't like it or want something changed. Hope you guys are having an awesome weekend!

LF- I just dropped the entire Needs Assessment wiki in here for us to edit to make it simpler. Thanks Lili for the community needs assessment. Looks great! ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Hi Marian and Lili,

I just wanted to confirm are different parts and check in about the various conversations we're having to bring this Wiki together. Here is what I understand is going on so far:

- I spoke with Anna and she said that changes we make we should explain on the Discussion page. Currently the only comment on the Discussion page is suggesting grammar corrections. She also said that instead of deleting a whole section and adding new information to try and incorporate what's there but clean it up and add [citation needed] as necessary. She will be sending instructions on how to add [citation needed].

- Lili is going to include in the Community Needs Assessment section an example of how to conduct one.

- Lili and I talked about how to incorporate / improve what is already there.

- Lili is going to add a data section. Laura will find links to reputable web pages that define quantitative and qualitative data.

- Laura will clean intro and add a few sentences about how needs assessments affect public policy in the section. Also will make copy edits in history, needs chain models, and training needs assessments sections.

- Laura can also support Marian in the Needs Assessment Models section. Laura can take last eight and find the source and include a brief description of each.

- Marian will include a description of the SWOT model

- Marian will include a description of a few specific examples (case studies).

- Wednesday after class we will all meet to finish and upload to Wiki.

If there is any confusion or corrections please respond. Also my sections are pretty minimal so let me know how else I can support. For example, Marian I can take on the Needs Assessment Models section if you want since you are providing info on case studies and SWOT model. Just let me know asap so I can get started. For now I will work on tracking down details on the bottom eight on the list.

Ok I hope everyone is having a lovely evening.

Peace, Laura Lpflynn (talk) 01:11, 20 September 2011 (UTC)lpflynn

09/20/11 - Update ATTN Lili!

We might not need to include a whole section on Data. I'm thinking we can include a sentence about data in the intro and link data to an existing wiki page on Data or we can link it to Data, Quantitative_data or Quantitative_research, and Qualitative data? Thoughts?
