Community Health Survey
Holden Board of Health Seeks Residents’ Input
The Holden Board of Health is working in conjunction with the Leicester Regional Public Health Coalition (LRPHC), to ask Holden residents for their input on a Community Health Assessment Survey (or CHA).
What is a Community Health Assessment? CHAs are used to identify the current local health needs and issues according to those that live there. Data will be collected from residents through surveys, focus groups, town meetings etc. Evidence-based programs and initiatives will then be implemented to address and improve upon these needs and issues. These programs and initiatives will be evaluated periodically to measure their effectiveness, making adjustments as necessary.
Some examples of successful programs and initiatives include, but are not limited to:
- Educational seminars
- Smoking cessation programs
- Suicide prevention programs
- Increased access to health care and mental health services
