What this page is doingThe title states the rule the analysis follows, so a reader can check that no characteristic appears without the design constraint it forces.

Every Fact Followed by Its Consequence: An Audience Analysis of a Hospital Evening Housekeeping Crew for a Short Lesson on Splash Protection

How This Analysis Works

The audience is the 14-member evening environmental services crew described in the needs assessment. Each characteristic below is followed by the constraint it places on the lesson. A characteristic that forces no constraint is struck out at the end rather than kept to add length. The aim is a profile the person designing the lesson can act on line by line.

What this page is doingAnnouncing that characteristics without consequences will be struck out sets a test the reader can apply.

Characteristics and the Constraints They Force

Table 1

Audience characteristics and the design constraint each one forces

Characteristic	Source	Constraint on the lesson \|
Shift starts at 3:00 p.m. with a 10-minute huddle; crew then disperses across three floors	Shift schedule	Lesson must fit inside 10 minutes at the huddle; no second session the same day \|
Work is done alone on assigned floors after the huddle	Supervisor	Any reminder must work without a supervisor present, at the dilution station itself \|
Experience ranges from two months to 22 years	Roster	Pair a long-serving member as demonstrator; new staff learn from a peer, not only from the lead \|
Four members speak Spanish at home; none reported trouble with English instructions	Questionnaire	Prepare a Spanish version of any printed step, but test whether it is used before printing more \|
Eleven of 14 already say a splash can hurt their eyes	Questionnaire	Do not spend lesson time on why goggles matter; spend it on fogging and the empty hook \|
Hands are gloved and often wet during a jug change	Observation	Steps must be few and physical; nothing that requires reading a long card mid-task \|
Three new hires join in a typical quarter	Human resources	Lesson must be repeatable at any huddle by the lead, without special materials \|
Most say goggles fog	Questionnaire	Show the anti-fog goggles and a wipe in the lesson; equipment request goes to the supervisor \|

Sources are department records, a short anonymous questionnaire and two evenings of observation at the dilution stations.

Reading the Constraints Together

Taken together, the constraints describe a short, practical lesson. It must happen at the huddle, take less than ten minutes, use a demonstration by a respected peer, and leave something at the station that works when no one is watching. Adult learners respond best when instruction addresses problems they already face and draws on their experience (Knowles et al., 2015), and this crew's problems are concrete: fogging lenses, empty hooks and a slow dispenser. Time spent persuading them that eye injuries are serious would answer a question most have already settled.

Reading Level and Wording

No one on the crew reported difficulty with English instructions, but federal assessment data suggest many American adults struggle with health information, with only 12% scoring proficient on the health literacy tasks of the 2003 national adult literacy assessment (Kutner et al., 2006). Rather than guess at individual skills, the lesson and any printed step will follow plain-language guidance, using short sentences, one action per line and the most important instruction first (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2019). That serves every reader, including those reading in a second language.

What this page is doingUsing a national literacy figure to justify plain language for everyone avoids singling out any crew member.

Characteristics Struck Out

Three characteristics were collected and then removed because none forces a design choice. Age distribution: the crew ranges from 22 to 61, but nothing in the lesson would change for any age group. Union membership: all 14 belong to the same union, which matters for policy but not for how the lesson is taught. Commute times: several members travel over an hour, but the lesson takes place during paid shift time, so travel does not affect attendance.

What this page is doingStriking out characteristics that change nothing proves the analysis is about consequences, not facts.

What Goes to the Supervisor Instead

Two constraints point outside education. Empty goggle hooks at shift start and fogging lenses are equipment problems. The lesson can show anti-fog goggles, but stocking them is the supervisor's task. The analysis passes those items on rather than designing a lesson around a shortage no lesson can fix.

Reading the INHE 2001 Week 4 instructions

Audience analysis assignments ask students to describe the people a health education program will reach and explain how those characteristics shape the program. Prompts commonly list factors such as demographics, literacy, culture, prior knowledge, schedules and settings. Some ask for a table. Instructors look for analysis that changes the design. Profiles that pile up facts about a group with no word on what they change in the lesson usually earn less credit than shorter profiles in which every item leads to a decision. Striking out irrelevant facts is often welcomed rather than penalized. Students are often asked to include at least one source of information beyond their own impressions, such as records, a questionnaire or observation.

Inside the INHE 2001 Week 4 example

The analysis opens with its rule and its promise to strike out characteristics that force nothing. A table lists eight characteristics, their sources and the constraint each places on the lesson, from the huddle schedule to fogging goggles. A section reads the constraints together and describes the lesson they imply, citing adult learning principles. Another section sets plain-language rules using a national health literacy figure. Three characteristics are then struck out with reasons. A final section passes two equipment constraints to the supervisor rather than designing a lesson around them. Sources for each characteristic are named in the table, and two evenings of observation at the stations supply details no questionnaire would capture. The analysis stays under three pages.

INHE 2001 Week 4 rubric: what earns full marks

Instructors generally reward an audience analysis for consequences. Each characteristic paired with a constraint secures the largest share, and the table here makes that pairing visible. Using several sources, including observation, earns credit for thoroughness. Reading the constraints together into a picture of the lesson shows synthesis. Striking out characteristics that change nothing is credited as judgment, since padding is a common weakness. Plain-language decisions grounded in a national literacy figure, applied to everyone rather than to individuals, show sensitivity. Passing equipment problems to the right person shows the student knows education's limits. Observation as a source, alongside records and questionnaires, is credited because it captures conditions such as gloved hands that people rarely mention.

INHE 2001 Week 4 help: mistakes that cost marks

List what you know about your audience, then write beside each item what it forces you to do or avoid. If you cannot write a consequence, cross the item out. Include where each fact came from. Look at the constraints together and sketch the lesson they describe. Apply plain-language rules to everyone instead of guessing who reads well. If your profile is long but your lesson design has not changed because of it, we can work through a sample analysis for your audience. Spend at least one session watching the setting; it often reveals constraints no one would think to report.

Send the prompt, the group your section assigned and whatever it gave you about them, and a profile written in fact and consequence pairs comes back. No charge applies to the first, which lands in 24 to 48 hours. Who you actually work with is not described here, and the crew in the example is invented.

Every line of it is on this page, profiling an evening housekeeping crew for a short splash lesson.

What makes an audience analysis useful?

Every characteristic is followed by the design constraint it forces.

Which characteristics were struck out?

Age, union membership and commute times, because none changes the lesson.

Why is the lesson only ten minutes?

The 3:00 p.m. huddle is the only time the whole crew gathers.

How does the analysis handle literacy?

It applies plain-language rules for everyone rather than guessing individual reading levels.
