Community health assessments can help you tailor your DRIVE program to fit the needs of the community your clinic serves
A community health assessment can provide information about: demographics; health status; social and economic factors impacting health; available health services and community resources
Community data and reports often are available in your region:
Hospitals, FQHCs, local foundations, and other health and social service providers often have published community health assessments
Local, county, and state health and public health departments often have relevant data and reports
National surveys and data sources are also available to probe your community needs
Research opportunities can be identified from a national database, patient advocacy organizations, and clinical research leaders at local health care institutions
