Community needs assessments are a valuable tool for gathering and disseminating information about the health needs of a community. 两性色午夜 University鈥檚 College of Public Health completed the area鈥檚 first comprehensive LGBTQ+ specific community needs assessment in 2022. A Greater Cleveland assessment is now underway.

Survey data will be used by key stakeholders within and outside of the healthcare sector to develop and deliver culturally competent services that address the unique needs of the LGBTQ+ community. This initiative is an essential step in ensuring that healthcare services are accessible, equitable, and effective for all members of the LGBTQ+ community.
