You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Community Health Needs Assessment.

# Context
Original working context:
- Act as a community health and public health specialist. I need to assess the health needs of a community I serve. Community: {{geographic_area_population_group}} Service type: {{community_health_centre_gp_clinic_district_nursing_other}} Known community characteristics: {{demographics_known_health_issues}} Available data: {{describe_what_data_you_have_access_to}}
- Step 1: Identify the key data sources for a community health needs assessment β€” epidemiological, service utilisation, community consultation, and qualitative.
- Step 2: Design a community consultation process β€” how to gather community members' perspectives on their own health needs.
- Step 3: Write a health needs analysis framework β€” how to prioritise identified needs against impact, feasibility, and community priority.
- Step 4: Write a service gap analysis β€” comparing identified needs against existing services.
- Step 5: Write a 3-year community health plan outline based on the highest-priority needs.

- Avoid generic filler and vague advice.
- Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation.

When to use

Use when conducting a community health needs assessment to inform service planning or resource allocation.

PRO TIP

Communities define their own health needs differently from clinicians β€” a participatory needs assessment that centres community voice will identify priorities that data-only assessments consistently miss.
