- This neighborhood data indicates rates that are 2 to 3 times higher than what is set out in Healthy People 2030 and higher than other neighborhoods in the city. They are:

higher rates of adolescent pregnancy;

higher deaths due to gunshot injuries;

higher rates of Type II diabetes; and

higher rates of emergency room usage (residents rarely use the health clinic in their community, instead they use the local emergency department)

- Community leaders say they aren't interested in addressing these issues as public health leaders propose. They want a community pool as a way to engage in healthy behavior, as a meeting place, and as an alternative to gang activities.

What are the perceived needs here?

How do perceived needs differ from normative, comparative, and relative needs?

As a team member, how can one build community trust and work together to address these health issues while not dismissing community leaders' proposals?
