CHIP Data Dashboards
Every three years, Mahoning County is required to carry out a Community Health Assessment (CHA) and use it to form a Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP). Using the CHA, three public health priorities were chosen—mental health and substance use, access to care, and community conditions and safety. The CHIP describes evidence-based strategies that we will use to address each priority.
CHIP Priorities
Each priority was chosen based on CHA survey responses and other data. For each strategy, we will collect and display quarterly data to show CHIP implementation progress. Click on a priority below to learn more about it, see the strategies implemented, and view the data.
