Community Health Needs Assessment

The Local Oral Health Program (LOHP) is a state-wide program funded by the Research and Prevention Tobacco Tax Act of 2016 (Prop 56) and administered through the California Department of Public Health, Office of Oral Health. The LOHP's mission is to improve the oral health of all Fresno County residents through prevention, education, linkage to dental treatment, and through organized community efforts. The LOHP will assess the oral health needs of the community, develop an Oral Health Needs Assessment, Oral Health Evaluation Plan, and strategic action plan to address the oral health needs of the community.

Data Collection Tool The FCDPH, Fresno Community Health Improvement Partnership (FCHIP), Fresno Metro Ministry (FMM), and the Central Valley Health Policy Institute (CVHPI) developed a list of key informants who would be leveraged to gain connections with institutions, nonprofit organizations, and community members to gather primary data through focus groups. Secondary data analysis was used to describe basic demographic, socioeconomic, and health status for Fresno County. Key secondary data indicators were analyzed to identify neighborhoods with the greatest lack of social and economic opportunity, environmental hazards, and health inequalities. Primary data collection informed by resident lived-experiences and key stakeholder input was used to develop Priority Areas for several populations.
