healthcare providers, community-based organizations, underserved populations,

• Ensure inclusion of at least two populations at higher health risk or with poorer

health outcomes in alignment with PHAB requirements.

Phase 2 – Data Collection & Analysis

other appropriate methods.

federal sources, including demographic, socioeconomic, morbidity, mortality, and

behavioral risk data.

Phase 3 – Collaborative Assessment Development

• Facilitate regular meetings with the advisory group to review data, identify health

priorities, and discuss assets and resources.

• Use a recognized CHNA framework (e.g., MAPP, NACCHO Toolkit, ACHI Toolkit,

County Health Rankings Action Center) or a clearly defined custom methodology

consistent with PHAB guidance.

Phase 4 – Public Review & Feedback

• Share findings with the public, partners, and stakeholders via public meetings or

community-based forums.

• Develop process to document all feedback received for review and consideration in

future assessment and planning efforts.

Phase 5 – Final Report & Dissemination

• Deliver a final CHNA report including executive summary, data and methods,

demographics, priority health issues, contributing factors, health inequities,
