POWER POINT Directions: Positive (health-promoting) and negative (health-discouraging) aspects of the built environment can be captured by performing systematic environmental scans that assess factors influential to the primary conditions/diseases of interest. While most communities will have basic resources, what may vary are the amount, type, and quality of these resources. DUE to COVID 19 – do not take actual pictures unless you feel safe. Use the internet and include 6-10 images. (At least one per category below) to answer questions about the built environment in your selected community. Give each picture a caption/title and in your presentation provide a short explanation for each picture of why you chose it and how it answers the question.
