Abstract
  • This document details the steps in an Action Oriented Community Diagnosis (AOCD), as implemented in a public housing apartment complex, Stewart Manor, located in Sanford, North Carolina. A group of five students from the University of North Carolina—Chapel Hill, School of Public Health’s Department of Health Behavior and Health Education, in conjunction with residents and service providers of Stewart Manor, carried out the AOCD process. This document begins with the definition, overview, and goals of the AOCD process. The next section includes the methods used throughout this AOCD, including an account of the steps taken by those involved in the AOCD process, from entry into the Stewart Manor community to data collection and analysis. Following this section, background information on Lee County, Sanford, and Stewart Manor is included, such as health statistics, demographic data, and historical information. The next major section of this paper includes a discussion of the themes that emerged from interviews with both residents of Stewart Manor and those who provide services to Stewart Manor. These themes are discussed in detail and their respective sections in the paper include the perspectives of residents, service providers, and AOCD student team members. A community forum was held to address many of these themes, and the next section of the paper covers the progression of the community forum, as well as the action steps identified by each individual group. This document then concludes with recommendations the AOCD student team developed for residents of Stewart Manor. The AOCD student team members hope that the residents of Stewart Manor and service providers can use these recommendations, as well as other information presented in this document, as they progress toward positive change for the entire community.
