McLeroy, Norton, Kegler, Burdine, and Sumaya (2003), in “Community-Based
Interventions,” provided a useful typology for contrasting perspectives in
community focus for incorporation in interventions. The community was presented
as a setting, a target, a resource, and an agent. The application of these
various perspectives results in a continuum of community-based interventions.
In the light of the above statement, describe an affected community in these
various roles in a major public health disaster in the U.S. We know of
hurricanes Katrina and Rita and wildfires in California. Feel free to cite
personal examples or experiences to substantiate your claims.
Your response should be a minimum of two pages in length exclusive of cover
page and references. You are required to use at least your textbook as source
material for your response. All sources used, including the textbook, must be
referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations,
per APA guidelines.
