data-driven approach to determining the health status, behaviors, and needs of residents in Kane County, Illinois. Subsequently, this information may be used to inform decisions and guide efforts to improve community health and wellness. A Community Health Needs Assessment provides information so that communities may identify issues of greatest concern and decide to commit resources to those areas, thereby making the greatest possible impact on community health status. This Community Health Needs Assessment will serve as a tool toward reaching three basic goals: • To improve residents’ health status, increase their life spans, and elevate their overall quality of life. A healthy community is not only one where its residents suffer little from physical and mental illness, but also one where its residents enjoy a high quality of life. • To reduce the health disparities among residents. By gathering demographic information along with health status and behavior data, it will be possible to identify population segments that are most at-risk for various diseases and injuries. Intervention plans aimed at targeting these individuals may then be developed to combat some of the socio-economic factors that historically have had a negative impact on residents’ health. • To increase accessibility to preventive services for all community residents. More accessible preventive services will prove beneficial in accomplishing the first goal (improving health status, increasing life spans, and elevating the quality of life), as well as lowering the costs associated with caring for late-stage diseases resulting from a lack of preventive care. This assessment for Kane County Health Department was part of a larger project conducted on behalf of a collaboration of community partners in Kane County, including 708 INC Board, Advocate Sherman Hospital, Kane County Health Department, Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital, Presence Mercy Medical Center, Presence Saint Joseph Hospital, and Rush Copley Medical Center. This assessment was conducted by Professional Research Consultants, Inc. (PRC). PRC is a nationally recognized healthcare consulting firm with extensive experience conducting Community Health Needs Assessments in hundreds of communities across the United States since 1994. 7 COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT Methodology This assessment incorporates data from both quantitative and qualitative sources. Quantitative data input includes primary research (the PRC Community Health Survey) and secondary research (vital statistics and other existing health-related data); these quantitative components allow for trending and comparison to benchmark data at the state and national levels. Qualitative data input includes primary research gathered through an Online Key Informant Survey. PRC Community Health Survey Survey Instrument The survey instrument used for this study is based largely on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), as well as various other public health surveys and customized questions addressing gaps in indicator data relative to health promotion and disease prevention objectives and other recognized health issues. The final survey instrument was developed by Kane County Health Department, collaborating partner organizations, and PRC, and is similar to the previous survey used in the region, allowing for data trending. Community Defined for This Assessment The study area for the survey effort is comprised of residential ZIP Codes within Kane County, Illinois; respondents living in ZIP Codes extending outside the county borders were screened to include only those living within Kane County. The County was segmented into three planning areas utilized by the Kane County Health Department: North, Central, and South Kane County. This community definition is illustrated in the following map. 8 COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT Sample Approach & Design A precise and carefully executed methodology is critical in asserting the validity of the results gathered in the PRC Community Health Survey. Thus, to ensure the best representation of the population surveyed, a mixed-mode methodology was implemented. This included surveys conducted via telephone (landline and cell phone), as well as through online questionnaires. The sample design used for this effort consisted of a stratified random sample of 1,053 individuals age 18 and older in Kane County, including 410 in
