A population needs assessment focuses on the characteristics of a specific population, its health needs, and the resources available to address those needs. A nurse assessing the health status of older adults with diabetes is an example of a population needs assessment. A health status report indicating that many people are not using the health department because of long waits does not focus on a specific population. The WHO encouraging all travelers to be up to date on the im-munizations when traveling abroad does not include the resources available to address those needs. An agency using a television advertisement to encourage healthy eating by the citizens in the community does not focus on assessment of a specific population.
