Question:
Hi, I am a BSN student. For my community assessment I have to use the MAPIT tool. My community if interest is 80yr and older who live in assisted living facilities. I want to determine how falls affect this community in being able to get access to clinics preventative services or assess to care.
Answer:
Dear Jennifer
thank you for your question.
In CTB, Chapter 2. “Other Models for Promoting Community Health and Development”, there is a whole Section devoted to MAP-IT, Section 14. "MAP-IT: A Model for Implementing Healthy People 2020", on the web page https://ctb.ku.edu/en/table-of-contents/overview/models-for-community-health-and-development/map-it/main
Perhaps there is not a specific paragraph about falls and their impact; nevertheless, there are a lot of examples and suggested tools, so we think that you will find some ideas for your community with elderly people.
Many wishes for your work!
