This study aims to provide different information regarding the health status of the

Sto Niño community especially the people living in the Purok V-A and V-B. This study

also aims to disseminate information about the family structure, characteristics and

dynamics, socio-economic and cultural characteristics, home and environment, health

status of each member, and lastly the values and practices on health promotion or

maintenance and disease prevention.

The information gathered during the zonal survey will assist the community to

identify problems affecting the health of the people. These appropriate inventions can be

formulated to address the problems.

LIMITATION OF THE STUDY

The ASTHREA gathered information take from zonal survey thru interview and

observation in zone V-A and V-B of Barangay Sto Niño with the assistance of the Public

Health Midwife and Barangay Health Worker assigned in the area.

The information gathered by ASTHREA group will be more comprehensive,

meaningful and far-reaching if it covers other area of the purok V-A and purok V-B.

Unfortunately, the group was not able to gather all data of the community since some

families are working, thus they were not included during the house to house survey.

Others did not want to participate due to some personal reasons.

The tools used in conduct of the zonal survey are survey questionnaires, interview

guide and observation checklist. The community survey was done by checking filling up

information collected. The information was consolidated after the conduct of the zonal

survey. To facilitate data collation, the group developed categories and classification of
