The Impact of Bias

Consider the town hall meeting described in the week’s Introduction. In this example, bias may be impacting the community health assessment. Although some degree of bias is inevitable, as a public health professional, it is important that you employ strategies for mitigating bias. Although not addressed in this Discussion, it is also important for you to consider your own biases and how you can avoid them in your assessment process.
For this Discussion, review this week’s Resources. Think about how bias can impact community health assessment and how you might mitigate potential biases.
