The North American Nursing Diagnosis Association (NANDA) provides a taxonomy of nursing diagnoses. The community-level diagnoses contain three parts. They are "risk of," "among," and "related to.". "Among" refers to:

1. The specific problem or health risk faced by the community
2. The characteristics of the community
3. Identification of the specific community client with whom the nurse will be working
4. Description at the aggregate level

"Among" identifies the specific community client with whom the nurse will be working to ad-dress the identified problem.
