Week 8 Assignment

UNDERSTANDING THE ROLE OF INFORMATION DISSEMINATION AND THE USE OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY

Regardless of the method one chooses to use to disseminate findings from a community health needs assessment, the information reported needs to be adapted to the target audience. Digital technology has been used as a tool to support the dissemination of information across different disciplines, including health communication. It is important to continue exploring the uses of digital technology to support community engagement during information sharing.

Because a needs assessment targets the community in which data are collected and shared, it is important to consider how information from the assessment is disseminated and who is involved in the information dissemination.  Modifications might be necessary based on the target audience and the results of the community health needs assessment.
