Community health assessments, or CHAs, collect and analyze data about the health of a community. Data can be feedback from community members through methods such as surveys and focus groups. In addition, data on health behaviors, rates of chronic disease, available services, and quality of life are also collected. The result is comprehensive information about community strengths that can be used to address identified health issues.

Community health improvement plans, or CHIPs, are long-term plans developed based on the results of community health assessments. The plan helps health and community organizations set priorities and coordinate resources. Additionally, a CHIP can be used to develop communitywide health policies.

The results of the survey will be integrated with other ongoing data collection tools to identify themes and determine key issues in the community. These data will help the Live Well Boone County steering committee narrow down strategic issues, why the issues are important to the community, key indicators related to the issues, and potential solutions.
