Answer 1

HEY!!!



you have been learning about the principles and guidelines for conducting health research, and the specific example of conducting a community survey using quantitative and qualitative survey techniques in your kebele. In this study session, you will learn how to make use of your community survey data.

First, we show you how to develop your community profile by writing the report of the survey data that you and your volunteers have collected from all the households in your community. Then you will learn how to use your community profile report to identify and implement small-scale research projects to suggest solutions for the health problems in your community. But how do you decide which topics to prioritise for further research and who should participate with you in making this decision? What should your research objectives be and what other sources of information should you consult? This study session will help you to make these choices.

Annexes.
The Results, Discussion, Conclusions and Recommendations sections should form the most substantial part of your report. The completed report should contain the following information in each section.

Cover page
The cover page of your community profile report should contain the title, your name and the month and year that you submitted the report. The title should include the name of the study area, for example ‘Community Profile of Village X: Report of a Community Survey’.

Summary
The summary should contain very brief descriptions (in no more than a few sentences each) in the following sequence:

The location of the community survey (where it took place).
The problem (why this survey was needed).
The main objectives (what the survey set out to achieve).
The type of survey and methods used (e.g. a community-level survey using questionnaires, interviews and focus groups for data collection).
A list summarising the major findings and conclusions.
A list summarising the major recommendations.
You may need to be prepared to write different versions of the summary for health managers, for health staff at your level or lower levels (e.g. volunteers) and for community members.

Table of contents
The Table of contents provides the reader with a quick overview of the major sections of your survey report, with the page number of the first page in each section. This enables the person reading to go straight to particular sections of interest. Look at the Table of contents for this Module to see the style you should use.

Introduction
Your introduction should begin by stating the purpose (objectives) of developing a community profile for your kebele. Then give some relevant background information about the community, what was previously known about the health status of the population, and any health service data which is relevant to the community profile. You may also include any background information on any relevant environmental, administrative, economic or social issues.

This should be followed by brief descriptions of the main categories of information that you have collected and investigated. Refer briefly to any additional information which you have obtained during the implementation of the survey.

Any relevant reports or documents you have found helpful should be briefly reviewed in your introduction section. It should end with a paragraph on what you hope (or hoped) to achieve by surveying your community and developing a community profile.
