Discussion Post

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 I: 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 II: 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.
