About the Cleveland Health Survey
The Cleveland Health Survey represents a collaborative effort between the Prevention Research Center for Healthy Neighborhoods and the Cleveland Department of Public Health. This survey provides insight into the health and wellbeing of Cleveland residents and is intended to guide the development and tailoring of programs, policies, and resources to better serve the unique health needs of Cleveland’s many communities.
The Cleveland Health Survey represents a modified version of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), the nation’s premiere health survey. The BRFSS has not been conducted in Cleveland since 2015 highlighting an imperative to collect information about the health needs in our current post-pandemic era.
What's Unique About the Cleveland Health Survey?
The Cleveland Health Survey uses different methods than the traditional BRFSS. In the Cleveland Health Survey, we used a hybrid sampling approach focused on neighborhood geography which provides the opportunity to illuminate the distinct needs within and across the City.
In addition, the survey was available to be completed online or over the phone providing an option to residents to complete the survey at a convenient time and location while promoting project sustainability by reducing costs associated with data collection.
