Community Health Equity Survey (CHES) - Public Participation Requested
The Halifax Board of Health is seeking participation from the public to submit responses to the Community Health Equity Survey (CHES) distributed by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) and Health Resources in Action (HRIA) organization. You may access the survey online by clicking on the link below. The deadline for survey submissions is Tuesday, October 31st, 2023.
The Community Health Equity Survey (CHES) aims to help communities address barriers to health by collecting data on the social and structural health needs facing Massachusetts residents, specifically those disproportionately affected by health inequities. The Massachusetts Department of Public Health will use survey results to improve programs, make decisions about funding and resources, and support policies to improve health inequities. CHES continues efforts that began in 2021 with the COVID-19 Community Impact Survey (CCIS).
The information collected will help DPH and community partners determine how best to allocate funding, improve programming, and develop policies to address health inequities.
You may contact the Halifax Board of Health with any questions by calling (781) 293-6768 or e-mailing [email protected] and/or [email protected].
