The Community Health Status Assessment (CHSA) answers the question, "How healthy are our residents?" and "What does the health status of our community look like?" The results of the CHSA provide the MAPP Committee with an understanding of the community's health status and ensure that the community's priorities include specific health status issues (e.g., infant mortality rates or fruit and vegetable consumption). The CHSA provides a list of core indicators (data elements) for 11 broad-based categories. Communities may also select additional indicators. By gathering data for each of these and comparing the jurisdiction's data to trend information or peer, state, and national data, health issues are identified.
