2.  Brief IPLAN Explanation  Representativeness of Sample  Survey Results and Vital Statistics

3.  Illinois Project for Local Assessment of Needs  Started in 1992  Conducted every 5 years by LPHDs  Essential elements of IPLAN 1. An organizational capacity assessment 2. A community health needs assessment 3. A community health plan, focusing on a minimum of three priority health problems.

4.  Conducted from March – September of 2010  1076 surveys collected this far, 1045 complete  Conducted through SurveyMonkey  15-20% of responses collected at CUPHD

6.  Ages 35-74 are very representative  Overestimate: 25-34  Underestimate: 15-24, >75

7.  Surveys more appealing to females  Surveys filled out at PHD

8.  Overestimate: African-Americans, Hispanics  Underestimate: Whites, Asians

9.  Overestimate: College / Graduate  Underestimate: High School and Below  Improving with location targeting

10.  Greatly overestimating <$25k  Biggest underestimate: $50-75k  Likely due to surveys at PHD

11.  Improvement in last two months  2-300 more surveys needed outside C-U

15.  Both diseases and risk factors included

16.  “Old” diseases vs “young” diseases

17.  More or less representative of national stats

18.  Lower across all chronic diseases, but not enough to justify the opinion shift

22.  Perceived vs. Actual  Perception of “Risky Behaviors”

23.  Thorough analysis of the survey responses is critical to avoid “majority bias”  Age adjustment by strata will be possible once 2010 census data becomes available!  Survey is an invaluable use of information and should be considered on a more frequent basis with expanded questions
