Community Health Assessment / Windshield Survey 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.
