Problem
Use data from your professional setting. If your organization does not serve the transgender population, identify an organization that does.
Your department within the community center where you work wants to develop a new program/intervention for the increasing transgender population in the area, but organizational leaders are not certain if the need for this is great enough. You have been asked to conduct a needs assessment and report back to them the following information prior to moving forward with any programs or interventions:
1. Collect trend data about a target population or community.
2. Indicate the needs that are being met and the resources that exist.
3. Determine the needs that are not being addressed.
4. Identify recommendations/next steps based on the results of a needs assessment.
