Health Assessment and Improvement Tools
This area of Kansas Health Matters was specifically designed for Kansas communities to collaboratively conduct community health needs assessments and improvement plans.
Understanding a community's concerns enables you to effectively characterize its needs and respond with appropriate interventions. In order to assess communities and create a community profile, you need to discover those things that matter to the community, what issues the community feels are most important to address, and what resources are available to bring about change.
Tools, resources and links have been categorized into five areas: Prepare, Collect, Engage, Develop and Implement. Training and Technical Assistance also is available to support your community health assessment and community health improvement work. We hope you will check out the free online courses and other valuable training resources.
