Priority Setting of Community Health Problems

This document discusses prioritizing community health problems based on four criteria: magnitude, modifiability, preventive potential, and social concern. It provides a scoring system to rate problems on each criteria from 1 to 4, with higher scores indicating greater magnitude, severity, easier management, and more social concern. The total scores are then used to determine the priority, with the highest scoring problem given the highest priority. An example table is included to demonstrate how different health problems would be scored and ranked.
