New Website: Contextual Community Health Profile

Posted by on October 8, 2004

[posted from CCPH Partnership Matters newsletter]

The Contextual Community Health Profile is a comprehensive description of the health status of a specific community. This description includes community health status information that is typically included in a community health needs assessment. In addition, it captures cultural and environmental information about a specific community.

The Contextual Community Health Profile is intended to address the unique needs of an ethnic group that are often overlooked in planning processes that address the general community. The process has specific steps that are designed to help the health planner reach a more informed decision or set of decisions regarding appropriate health interventions. The model that is presented here also directs the health planner to additional resources that should help with the data collection and needs assessment process; and this model provides some options regarding interventions.
