Homework: Community Health Assessment / Windshield Survey
A community health assessment (sometimes called a CHA), also known as community health needs assessment (sometimes called a CHNA), refers to a state, tribal, local, or territorial health assessment that identifies key health needs and issues through systematic, comprehensive data collection and analysis. Community health assessments use such principles as;
i. Multisector collaborations that support shared ownership of all phases of community health improvement, including assessment, planning, investment, implementation, and evaluation
ii. Proactive, broad, and diverse community engagement to improve results
iii. A definition of community that encompasses both a significant enough area to allow for population-wide interventions and measurable results, and includes a targeted focus to address disparities among subpopulations
iv. Maximum transparency to improve community engagement and accountability
v. Use of evidence-based interventions and encouragement of innovative practices with a thorough evaluation
vi. Evaluation to inform a continuous improvement process
vii. Use of the highest quality data pooled from and shared among, diverse public and private sources.
