Windshield Survey Assignment

The purpose of the windshield study is for nurses to look at a neighborhood and understand the community that they are researching and records their observations. 

Nurses need to be able to knowledgeably plan services for a community. It is essential to know a specific community, identify health-related resources that may be helpful to members, and learn about gaps in services. A windshield survey is traditionally conducted from a car and provides a visual overview of a community. Conditions and trends in the community that could affect the health of the population are noted. It is possible to complete the windshield study by bus and on foot. You can also research about the neighborhoods. 

You will need to do a windshield study for two distinct neighborhoods. The distinctions could encompass whatever categories you choose. Examples: Geological area, urban/nonurban, socioeconomic status, etc.

Please use the survey tool to complete your neighborhood assessments. 

Then you will need to write a comparison of the two neighborhoods, comparing their potential healthcare needs based on what you have seen. This first project is designed to help you with your final project so please be thoughtful in how you go about it.

1) Seattle Downtown 3rd ave and pine st (Seattle Washington) 

2) Magnolia Boulevard Seattle Washington) 

I have attached the Rubric. I need I well written paper comparing the 2 neighborhoods.
