Community Engagement & Needs Assessment Research

Product Details

Understanding traditional health concerns and the social determinants of health that affect your community is the first step in addressing needs. Since 1992, Holleran has worked with hospitals, public health organizations, grant-funded agencies, and aging services providers to conduct community health needs assessments across North America. Using data from focus groups, surveys, public health records, key informant interviews, and more, our expert research team helps organizations respond to unmet markets and directly address the greater community’s needs.

Our Community Health Needs Assessments (CHNA) conducts high-quality community research, providing critical findings to integrate into community health improvement initiatives. Through a highly customized approach that emphasizes collaboration between Holleran and our community partners, the CHNA tool helps to address needs by understanding the traditional health concerns and social determinants of health that affect a community. Organizations work with our expert research team to fine-tune our instruments, ensuring the right mix of qualitative and quantitative research to meet their specific objectives.

Through our Community Engagement Needs Assessment (CENA), we can work to uncover a treasure trove of data about the aging experience, as well as the resident experience in the greater community. CENAs are also a valuable tool in the public health arena and grant-funded programs. The data collected can then be used to develop new products and services for a community, identify gaps in service, and provide opportunities for partnerships. Working directly with organization and community stakeholders, the primary and secondary sources of data are used to implement a plan of action leading to a more engaged community.
