Abstract
The concept of community health has varying meanings for those in different professional disciplines and for community residents. The aim of this study was to analyze this concept using Rodger's Evolutionary Method of Concept Analysis (2000). The study design included three phases. In Phase I, the attributes of community health, the sociocultural context surrounding its use, and related concepts were identified in professional literature sources. In Phase II, the Phase I results were compared with the attributes of the concept identified in six community health assessment instruments. The findings of the first two phases were then compared with the perceptions of expert informants in community health in the United States.
