Community Assessment

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

  • Multisector collaborations that support shared
    ownership of all phases of community health improvement, including
    assessment, planning, investment, implementation, and evaluation
  • Proactive, broad, and diverse community engagement to improve results
  • 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
  • Maximum transparency to improve community engagement and accountability
  • Use of evidence-based interventions and encouragement of innovative practices with a thorough evaluation
  • Evaluation to inform a continuous improvement process
  • Use of the highest quality data pooled from and shared among, diverse public and private sources

Windshield Survey:

“A windshield survey is an informal method used by community health nurses to obtain basic knowledge about a given community.
It provides a subjective view of the various physical characteristics
of a communal area as observed while driving or walking through a
