What: Utah County Health Department is preparing to conduct its 2nd Community Health Assessment (CHA). As part of that process, health department staff will be out in the community going to homes and asking questions related to health. The health department has been working with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to determine the number and location of homes will ensure a representative sample of Utah County.
When: Saturday, April 22, 2017
Why: Conducting the in-person surveys is essential to the community health assessment process. Information gained from the assessment guides public health efforts and decisions. The assessment seeks to get feedback directly from the community about their health needs.
In addition to the in-person survey, community members wishing to participate in the assessment will have the opportunity to complete an online version of the survey.
Assessments are typically completed every 3-5 years and are required of local health districts in Utah.
Where: Randomly selected neighborhoods, throughout Utah County
