  • Field-Driven Best Practices for Conducting Community Needs Assessments in Rural Areas

    Cristian L Meier, Terry Peak et al.ARTICLESocial Work in Public Health2026

    A three-stage community needs assessment process is the gold standard in conducting community assessments; however, social workers working in rural communities should consider best practices when working in rural areas.

To identify these field driven best…

    George Galster, A M Santiago et al.ARTICLEJournal of Economic Geography2015Cited by: 3References: 11

    We quantify how young adult employment and educational outcomes for low-income African Americans and Latinos relate to their adolescent neighborhood conditions.

Because DHA allocations mimic random assignment to neighborhood, this program represents a natural experiment for overcoming geographic selection bias. We us…

    We quantify how teen employment outcomes for low-income African Americans and Latinos relate to their neighborhood conditions during ages 14-17. Data come from surveys of Denver Housing Authority (DHA) households who have lived in public housing scattered throughout Denver County. Because DHA household allocation mimics random assignment to neighborhood, this program represents a natural experiment for overcoming geographic selection bias. Our lo…

    Open AccessGeorge Galster, A M Santiago et al.ARTICLEUrban Affairs Review2014Cited by: 5References: 11

    We quantify how social detachment (measured as neither working nor attending school) of low-income African-American and Latino young adults relates to their teen neighborhood conditions. Data come from retrospective surveys of Denver Housing Authority (DHA) households. Because DHA household allocation mimics quasirandom assignment to neighborhoods throughout Denver County, this program represents a natural experiment for overcoming geographic sel…
