STAGNANT/OPEN CANAL

Criteria Computation Actual Justification

Score
1. Nature of the 1/3x1 0.33 It is considered a health-related issue as it
problem greatly impacts health and can become a
breeding ground for mosquitoes, flies, rats,
and other critters.
2. Magnitude 3/4x3 2.25 The magnitude is described as 50-74% of
of the the community being affected by stagnant
problem or open canal. This problem can
significantly impact health by increasing
the risk of acquiring diseases, particularly
dengue.
3. Modifiability 2/3x4 2.66 It is moderately modifiable because the
of the condition can be significantly improved
concern or through preventive measures such as
problem maintenance and regular cleaning, which
can effectively prevent stagnation and
reduce health risks associated with it, such
as unpleasant odors, blockages, and
mosquito breeding.
4. Preventive 2/3x1 0.66 It is moderately preventable because the
potential issue can be improved by covering the
canals and ensuring a proper drainage
system.
5. Social 0/3x1 0 The people in the community do not
concern identify it as a concern.

 Improper Waste Disposal

Criteria Computation Actual Justification

Score
1. Nature of the 1/3x1 0.33 It is health-related because it can lead to
problem environmental pollution and contribute to
health risks such as respiratory illnesses,
waterborne diseases, and vector-borne
infections.
2. Magnitude 3/4x3 2.25 Magnitude of the problem 50-74% of the
of the community is affected by the increasing
problem volume of waste, which overwhelms
management systems. This leads to
pollution, health risks, climate change, and
biodiversity loss, with severe impacts on
vulnerable populations who lack access to
proper waste disposal resources.
3. Modifiability 2/3x4 2.66 It is moderately modifiable through
of the effective interventions and education, such
concern or as implementing waste segregation,
problem recycling programs, and promoting public
awareness. These measures can
significantly mitigate the environmental,
health, and social impacts of improper
waste management.
4. Preventive 2/3x1 0.66 Improper waste management has a
potential moderately preventive potential, as
measures such as waste segregation,
recycling, and proper disposal can
effectively reduce pollution, minimize
health risks, and mitigate environmental
harm while preventing future problems.
5. Social 1/2x1 0.5 The people in the community consider it
concern not urgent because most households are
still unaware of waste segregation
practices.
TOTAL SCORE: 6.4
 FEVER
Criteria Computation Actual Score Justification
1. Nature of the 3/3x1 1 It is considered health status
problem Fever when either endogenous
or exogenous pyrogens cause
an elevation in the body’s
thermoregulatory set-point.
2. Magnitude of 3/4x3 2.25 Infectious disease treats
the problem infections, including those that
are tropical in nature.
3. Modifiability 3/3x1 1 It is considered moderately
of the condition modifiable Refers to the
or problem probability of success in
enhancing the wellness state
improving the condition
minimizing, alleviating or totally
eradicating the problem
through intervention.
4. Preventive 2/3x1 0.66 It is moderately preventive,
potential limiting exposure to infectious
agents is one of the best ways
to prevent a fever
5. Social 2/2x1 1 The issue is that fever is a
concern temporary rise in the body
temperature. It’s one part of an
overall response from the
body’s immune system.

SCORE:
 HYPERTENSION
Criteria Computation Actual Score Justification
1. Nature of the 3/3x1 1 When the force of blood on
problem your artery walls is
continuously too high, you have
hypertension, which is
regarded as medical condition
2. Magnitude of 2/4x3 1.5 The issue is that hypertension,
the problem a major risk factor for
cardiovascular diseases,
affects 48%of the population as
whole.
3. Modifiability 2/3x4 2.66 Changes in lifestyle, medication
of the condition compliance, and appropriate
or problem management thought to be
moderately changeable.
4. Preventive 2/3x1 0.66 It is somewhat preventive, and
potential the negative outcome can be
considerably decreased with
early discovery and treatment.
5. Social 2/2x1 1 The community’s residents
concern believe that it is an important
issue that requires attention.

2. Magnitude of 2/4x3 1.5 The problem is identified as
the problem 44% of the overall population is
exposed to common cold.
3. Modifiability 2/3x4 2.66 It is considered moderately
