Copyright © 2014 by The University of Kansas Criteria for defining a community problem: Frequency Duration Scope or range Severity Legality Perception

Copyright © 2014 by The University of Kansas Why analyze a community problem? To identify the problem or issue. To understand what’s at the heart of a problem. To determine barriers and resources associated with addressing the problem. To develop the best action steps for addressing the problem.

Copyright © 2014 by The University of Kansas When should you analyze a community problem? When the problem isn’t defined very clearly. When little is know about the problem or its possible consequences. When you want to find the causes that may improve the chance of successfully addressing the problem. When people are jumping to “solutions” much too soon. When you need to identify actions to address the problem, and learn what persons or groups could best collaborate in taking action.

Copyright © 2014 by The University of Kansas Does analysis really work? Analyzing community problems can be hard work. Real community problems can be complex and hard to solve. When you look for reasons and underlying causes for significant problems, you’re likely to find more than one. The problem may not only have more than one reason, it may have more than one solution, too.
