Develop and conduct a needs assessment of 3-5 persons meeting the criteria of the target audience to submit your results.

For this needs assessment, I interviewed 3-5 persons who met the criteria of my chosen target audience. My target audience was people living with chronic pain. The purpose of this needs assessment was to gain a better understanding of their needs and how best to support them in managing their condition. Here are the results:

Person 1: This individual has been suffering from chronic lower back pain for 8 years. They described experiencing episodes of intense pain that can last anywhere from a few hours up to several days at a time. They reported having difficulty sleeping, as well as difficulty engaging in physical activities due to the pain. They also expressed feeling isolated and alone due to their limited mobility and lack of social interaction with others outside of their home environment.

Person 2: This person has been living with chronic shoulder pain for 4 years following an injury sustained during work. Despite trying various treatments over the years, they have yet to find relief from the pain and often struggles with everyday tasks such as carrying groceries or reaching overhead objects due to its severity. They also mentioned feeling overwhelmed by trying to manage their own care while still working full-time and worrying about the financial implications associated with not being able to work at full capacity anymore.

Person 3: This individual is dealing with persistent neck tension caused by sitting in front of a computer screen all day long while working from home during this pandemic period . She described her experience as one where she’s constantly battling against tightness which makes it difficult for her focus on tasks or even carry out basic activities such as cooking meals or cleaning around the house without taking frequent breaks in between each task.

Overall, these individuals all shared similar experiences when it comes managing chronic pain on an ongoing basis; highlighting just how much effort is required in order maintain quality of life despite debilitating symptoms which can be both physically limiting and emotionally draining at times
