Assessing Community Needs in Real-time
Want to know the needs of a community after a natural disaster? Or understand a community’s attitudes and beliefs about a specific public health behavior? CDC’s CASPER: Community Assessment for Public Health Emergency Response tool can help. CASPER is a type of rapid needs assessment that allows you to gather information about households in a community and can be used during all phases of a disaster or to learn about household health status in a community. Read “Assessing Community Needs in Real-time,†the latest Public Health Matters blog post, to learn more about CASPER and how it has and can be used.
