ALLEGHENY COUNTY
HEALTH DEPARTMENT
COMMUNITY
HEALTH SURVEY
The survey period runs through Oct. 4,
2019, and is part of the larger 2020
Community Health Assessment.
A Community Health Assessment
(CHA), which is conducted every five
years, compiles data to best understand
health issues and factors affecting the
health of Allegheny County residents. In
addition to the survey, CHA 2020 will
include a series of focus groups and the
use of a variety of existing data sources.
This survey focuses on health equity
and will be used to design a new
Community Health Improvement Plan,
which will outline goals and strategies
to improve the health and well-being
of all county residents. All residents of
Allegheny County over 18 years of age
are strongly encouraged to participate.
By taking the survey, individuals are
helping ACHD identify the key needs of
Allegheny County communities.
Individuals can complete the survey
via http://bit.ly/ACHDchs, or the
Allegheny County Library Association
will be providing paper surveys at all
70+ libraries across the county on
Wednesday, July 10.
Both the online and paper surveys
are being translated into four languages:
Spanish, Nepali, Arabic, and Simplified
Chinese. The ACHD will post a message
on its Facebook page and issue a message
via Allegheny Alerts when the surveys in
additional languages are available. ACHD
will also use those communication
avenues throughout the survey period to
announce additional partners in the effort
and other locations that will have paper
surveys. n
