MCAH Needs Assessment Prioritization Survey

Dear friends and colleagues,

The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, Maternal, Child and Adolescent Health (MCAH) Division is undergoing a needs assessment process. The needs assessment aims to identify MCAH priorities in our local health jurisdiction and work with the California State Department of Public Health, MCAH to develop a five-year plan. Your responses and feedback are important to us to ensure the needs of the women, children, adolescents, and their families are elevated and equitably addressed.

Your participation is completely voluntary, and responses are anonymous; however please know that we deeply value your unique perspective and hope that you choose to participate. . Please respond to the survey if you are 18 years and older. The survey will take most people no more than 20 minutes.

The following are five domains: Women, Perinatal Health/Infant Health, Child Health, Adolescent Health, and Children with Special Health Needs. Each domain includes a list of priorities. Please select three priorities from the list for each domain.

Responding to some of the questions may be difficult and triggering. You may choose not to answer any questions or stop your participation at anytime. Here is a list of local resources from the Department of Mental Health that may provide some support if you are interested.

Please visit the California MCAH Data Dashboard for relevant data if this may help with your prioritization.
