INTRODUCTION
The health assessment of population refers to the measurement, analyses and monitoring the
data of health of population. It also provides the determination of knowledge about status of
health population (Hatef, 2018). In this, the health inequalities and social determinants which are
present in health are also included in this. In this report, the health assessment in Brent and
Harlesden is covered and there did demographic status and determinants of health along with
depreciation are also covered in this. The key sources such as status mental health services of
community health and wellbeing are also covered in this report.
BACKGROUND
The community health needs assessment refers to a process that occurs within community so
that they can identify health needs of community. It also provide some manner from which the
community can analyze their needs of health and can priorities them. This health need
assessment can be applied in different types of organizations from which needs of health of
individuals can be analyzed properly. With the help of analyzing the data the various community
can derived health issues that are occurring within their community (Yin and Alexander, 2017).
This is used within committee as from this they can analyze the various issues of health that are
in developing within their community. The community health profile refers to the compilation of
data in context of community (Pennel CL, 2020). As it also includes record of various
information about the factors that are occur in community and affecting their people. With the
help of this, it provides an appropriate approach for process from which communities can
analyze their health needs. The data and information that has occur within community profile is
developed through surveys meetings interviews and by focusing on the groups of the community.
As the data that is present in community health profile reflects the health status of a community
from different directions or angles. the help of this the needs of community can be assessed by
developing various components version community such as planning organizing developing the
goal prioritizing health issues, etc. The monitoring is defined as the process in which data about
health is collected with the help of dynamic process. This is occur for a continuous period from
which the determinants of health can be analyzed that is occur over population in a time period.
The surveillance is defined as the process from which data can be recorded in a more
intensive manner then monitoring. From this the disease and health issues that are coming within
2

community can be analyzed in a proper way. These two processes can be used in in analyzing the
data from which health status of community can be derived. It also includes in the collecting data
from which health issue of community can be priorities (Maylahn, 2019). Along with this, the
communities also plan various further improvements from which we can evaluate their progress
of health assessment needs. From the developed in progress the health status of community can
be enhanced by considering factors that are needed for health of communities.
COMMUNITY HEALTH PROFILE
There are two main health profile are occur with the public health of England which are
Brent and Harlesden.These two are referred as short and long profiles of community health.
There are four categories from which the health of communities can be assessed. With the help
of these categories the health of population can be measured properly (Schuurman, 2018). The
demographic status of Brent occurs in which there are approx. 66.5% of population occurs. The
life expectancy within this profile is good and expectancy of life towards health is similar to the
average of national. There are use number of population who are living with cancer heart disease
and cardiovascular disease. These diseases occur within the population of blue 65 year old as a
premature death. The demographic status of this profile was that approx. 91 people are suffering
from cardiovascular diseases from 100,000 people. This profile is rank about 120 from all the
150 local authorities under are present in England. It is also named as fattest as higher number of
people or adults are suffering from overweight obesity from the level of England. The
populations of this people are approx 56.4% who are mostly adults. The population that are
present in the Brent are Black, Asian and minority ethnic groups. As the population of white it is
35% while the population of Asian is one third and the black is 21.1 %. The health status of this
profile is that the most of the adults are suffering from anxiety level and they also have negative
effect on their health of mentally. The condition of this profile is not properly good as many
other individuals are suffering from asthma in in lower age of adults. The condition of this
borough is also not appropriately as they have low incomes from which the people of this profile
do not contain proper services (Fatima, 2016). The people of Brent do not have proper using the
fuel poverty which is higher than the part of London and England. The opacity within this profile
is highly among childhood which becomes biggest determinate in the life of people. Within this
profile there is a proper connection occur between obesity in childhood and inequalities. There
are many children of approx 23% who are living with low income within their families. The
3

condition of overweight and obesity can be developing through the occurrence of inequalities
between peoples. This is developed through 22 factors which are supply of insufficient activity
in physical and providing us of a healthy nutrition to children. The half of the population of this
profile does not included in the sports activity from which the activity level is increased. The
nitration inequalities are also present within population as the populations of potty 7.1% are
recommended proper nutrition. The health status in the population of this profile is higher than
the provisions of London (Wang, Li and Nair, 2019). As this the prevalence of diabetes was
11.8% in 2017. Within this profile the expectancy of life for men and women is higher than the
England. There is a 30% of the population that are living in poverty and there are approx. 31% of
people who are earning less. The health status of this community is highly affected from low pay
and evictions. There were the major problems that occur within the health status of the
community. The population of this profile is highly facing the low-income and applications from
which that affecting their condition of health. There are some other key measures of health
determinants are occur from which of healthcare within the behavior of individuals occur. As in
the behavior of individuals smoking, etc. which is influenced by social factors such as schools
employment etc. the illustration of differences between deprivations and has a population of this
profile is can be described with the help of 9 year differences in the life expectancy. As the
increase level of deprivation cost from various factors which are presence of high level of
unemployment and low economic condition of population. This also includes that the population
of this profile has a healthy lifestyles and they have expectancy of low life which also includes
the poor education and quality e with their services. The deprivation level has remained similar
from years. The populations of this profile are eviction from employment from which mental
health causes in the population. This highly occurs in the black population of 58.3%. The
economic activity of email is also lower in Brent in comparison to other UK averages. The health
status of this profile is low due to the issue in the recruitment of nurses and general practitioners.
The demography status of Harlesden is counted as a population of 17162. In this there are
musically of 67% of the population of present within this. Along with is 19% are occur as Black
Caribbean and the other 19% or black African. The population of this profile also has 50% off
white and 14% of British population. There are also measures the peoples who have low income
from which day does not have proper home (Brent, 2020). Income of households in this profile is
very low from which the does not properly attain the needs of home. The condition of this profile
4

in context of economy is lower than the Brent and London. As there are not such proper
economic conditions of population present from which they can provide jobs and employment to
population. The condition of this profile is not much properly field in context of other areas as
there are low economic condition from which people are not fully game they are need properly
including housing.
The prevalence of smoking within Brent profile is a highly amount population who are
above age 18. The rate of this population is 14.2%. There are approx. population of age 35 who
are under the smoking condition which lead to that of them. The problems of these all issues can
cause poor health of individuals from which the condition of population is not appropriately
occur. This is highly among adults who are taking smoking and have low employment from
which it develops the mental effect in them as due to occurrence of unemployment anxiety
develops within their health. The residents of this profiler highly experiencing anxiety and ID
other health causes from unemployment and evictions. The most of peoples are evicted from
their services from which inequalities develop within their health. This also causes various
impact on the on them among neighborhood.
IMPLICATIONS OF FINDING THE PROFILE
There are various several means of the community are described from this profile. The
people of Brent are facing a number of inequalities and unemployment from which there is high
number of health issues are developed within population (Underwood, Morton and Waldie,
2017). Due to increase in the health issues the people of this profile needs high prevalence of
proper services including nutrition from which they can reduce the cause of health issues that are
developed within their community. With the help of proper data by monitoring the population
rates and their life expectancy it has been analyzed that the needs of public health of the
community is the providers of housing employment from which they can enhance their health.
There are some groups who are vulnerable and have disadvantages which are affected the
priority of needs of public health (Thornton, 2019). Different groups of communities that provide
take actions against the health issues of the population of Brent. They also developing five year
strategy for health issues from which prevention and diagnosis can be occur that help in
enhancing the health and environment of population. The service communities are also bring
together the needs of population from which they can provide or develop network that provide
support in the prevention of health problems. The Brent Shaw taxonomy of needs provide some
5

methods from which the need for population can be possible. This describes the four types of
social needs among population which are normative, felt, expressed and comparative. The
normative need is defined as the opinion of experts according to standard in which the health
status of community are constitutes. As is population has their own normative needs need to
assistant by the use of different tools (Chen, 2017). The comparative needs is refers to the needs
which are match the levels of health and the availability of services of health (Concepts of Need
and Social Justice, 2020). This is can be assessed by use of different methods that help in
comparing the health status of different communities and groups. With this the proper condition
of need can be assessed by individual level. The expressed needs are referred to the term of
identification of services that are used by population. From this the information about a person
by observing them with their future services can be done. This is also influenced by the various
services availability. The felt need help in recognizing the elements of need in terms of
individuals according to their necessity of needs. This needs help in identifying at local and
national level by having care representatives. The theories of population trends and traditions
including theory of health needs provides help in interrupt the community profile appropriately.
As these needs also help in identifying and assessment of meat that are needed within a
community. We can effectively evaluate the needs that are beneficial for people of communities
or not.
The community assets are defined as the resources that are collectively present in which
individuals that helps in developing proper solutions so that social environment can be promoted.
This helps in improving the health of population who are living in communities. As community
assets includes association and organization that are linked with individuals of community. The
community based asset development approach is mainly found in the communities that help
individuals and association so that they can come together and work in a collaborative manner.
This is an effective approach that provides proper rights and determinations of health to
population from which development of community can be occur. This community asset must be
added to in the profile of community so that they can assess properly the needs of their
population (Yoong, 2016). From this they can also provide proper right and determination by
collective action and including them with their organization and association. This also help in
considering the members from which there values wisdom and knowledge can be considered that
help in empowering them. It also helps in improving in the existing resources by incorporating
6

the strength within the development of community. With this the communities can serve and
include solutions and positive resources with their associations with benefits individuals.

CONCLUSION
From the above report it has been concluded that there are various limitations occur of this
profile as they does not have proper resources from which they can supply resources to their
people of communities. These two profiles do not have proper employment and are emissions
from other sources from which their limitations of providence of resources occur. This becomes
limitations in their profile from which they do not able to retain the health of population
appropriately. These two you also so have high rate of services which is also occur as limitations
among them from which they are unable to retain proper resources. The identification of each
individual needs also help in developing other information that helps in assessment of
understanding the needs of local health. With the help of this, the needs of local people can be
analyzed properly from which various assessment methods and factors can be provided to
communities. The involvement of this helps in understanding the needs properly. With the help
of this the needs of health can be rapidly provided to individuals of communities. The use of
different needs method can also help in assessing the needs from which the health of a material
can be enhanced. This provides better understanding about the needs of health of local people.
