Abstract
A needs assessment was completed with the target group, the Kanadier Mennonites. This
assessment was successfully completed through a partnership between the School of
Nursing, University of Lethbridge Advanced Community Nursing class, the Barons-
Eureka-Warner (BEW) Health Unit (now part of the Chinook Regional Health Authority)
and the Mennonite Central Committee local office, the Kanadier Concerns. Thirteen student teams conducted interviews with 22 key informants and 44 household
informants. Male and female interpreters, fluent in English and Low German, were used
as translators and cultural interpreters. The limitations include the inability to
randomize the sample, the need to use interpreters which may have led to a loss in
understanding, the misinterpretation by the student teams of some of the questions, or
the in accurate completion of the demographic information sheets by some of the student teams.
