Answer 1

C. Talks with key informants about concerns in the community

During the engagement phase of community assessment, the community assessment team typically engages with key informants, stakeholders, and community members to gain insights into the concerns, issues, and needs of the community. This process involves open communication and listening to the perspectives of those who have valuable knowledge and insights about the community. While other activities like data collection (option A) and identifying populations (option D) may occur during the assessment, engaging with key informants and understanding community concerns is a primary focus during this phase.
