You, as a health educator, will use qualitative data collection methods to gather information around the feelings, actions, perceptions, and history of the community regarding the current environment and health issues. You collect these pieces of information knowing that the data is subjective. However, it is the opinion of the community and therefore is relevant.   Consider your own community or a community you are familiar with (African American.)
