The New Mexico Assessment Initiative Project is
focused on providing technical assistance and building capacity around
conducting and using health assessment in local communities. The project
targets assistance to county health councils and tribes in New Mexico.
Long-term goals for this project include
- Improving the knowledge of community health status in New Mexico;
- Improving the quality and scope of community health assessments;
- Increasing the number of communities that use data to improve program
and policy; and
- Institutionalizing the community health assessment gains that result
from the project in the NM DOH's strategic and operational plans.
As a means to accomplish these goals, the New Mexico Assessment
Initiative project hopes to produce a comprehensive statewide health
status report on Native Americans in New Mexico and training modules
focusing on building local capacity to conduct health assessment. |
