What is a genogram? A genogram similar to a family tree is used to gather detailed information about the quality of relationships and interactions between family members over generations as opposed to lineage. Gender family relationships emotional relationships lifespan and genetic predisposition to certain health conditions are components of a genogram. A genogram for instance may identify a pattern of martial issues perhaps rooted in anger or explain why a person has green eyes. What is a sociogram? A sociogram helps the health professional to develop a greater understanding of these factors by seeing inter-relationships social links between people or other entities as well as patterns to identify vulnerable populations and the flow of information within the community.

They have also been instrumental in shaping public health policy. Today community and public health nurses have a key role in identifying and developing plans of care to address local national and international health issues.
