  • Review Chapter 4 of the McKenzie et al. text.
  • Conduct a brief qualitative needs analysis of your community. Using the questions provided below, interview two members of your community about the perceived public health needs. Consider the barriers to addressing significant public health issues within the community and think about resources available that might help to address them:
    • How long have you lived in your community?
    • What do you believe are the greatest health issues that exist within your community, and who are the populations you believe are most impacted by these health issues?
    • What are two barriers that exist within your community that you feel could negatively influence these health issues (e.g., no public parks, pollution from a particular factory, no major hospitals or grocery stores)?
    • Why do you think those barriers exist? What Social Determinants of Health are most responsible for health problems in your area? (See the Healthy People 2020 Social Determinants of Health link in Learning Resources for a list of examples.)
    • What kinds of resources exist within your community that could help influence the health of individuals within your community (i.e., hospitals, community clinics, non-profits, etc.)?
  • Consider the resources available within the community to help address the perceived public health issues.

The Assignment (34 pages)

  • A brief description of the community that is being evaluated
  • A brief description of the members of the community that you interviewed
  • Describe the information that you gathered from your interviews. Be sure to explain the perceived public health needs of the community
  • Explain what resources are available within the community that address the identified health needs
  • Explain how you might address the needs within the community. Be sure to describe how you will utilize resources and address the barriers within the community

Your written Assignments must follow APA guidelines. Be sure to support your work with specific citations from this weeks Learning Resources and additional scholarly sources as appropriate. Refer to the Essential Guide to APA Style for Walden Students to ensure your in-text citations and reference list are correct.

Mobile Device & Network Analysis Response

/in /by

Provide (3) 150 words response with a minimum of 2 APA references at the discussions below. Response provided should further discuss the subject or provide more insight.

Question 1:

If you were talking to a group of seniors about mobile security, what would you tell them? 

Discussion 1:

Discuss what type of evidence can be collected from and mobile device and the processes used to collect that evidence.

-There is a lot of information that can be gathered from a mobile device. This information includes call history, emails, text and other messages such as Facebook messenger and Skype, photos, videos, phone information, global positioning system, and network information. Things such as photos and videos generally have hidden information such as where the media was captured and what software or hardware was used to capture it. When seizing a device, there are certain considerations to take into account. Before disconnecting or transporting the device, it may be necessary to turn of auto-sync, updates and even turning on airplane mode to prevent any corruption of the data. 

Discussion 2:

There are many brands of mobile devices. Is there any difference in the way that evidence is collected from them? If so, please discus these difference.

-Because there are so many brands of mobile devices and because they can have different operating systems there is a difference in the way evidence is collected. The differences are in the way the evidence is accessed. However, what is common is if the device is plugged in to the computer files can be accessed that way. The difference is pretty much the tools that are used to collect the evidence. Again, based on the operating system will determine which tools are used to access the data and collect the evidence.
