CHNA Focus Groups and Key Informant Interviews

The CHNA data collection continues! Through the end of September, we will continue conducting CHNA Focus Groups and Key Informant Interviews to better understand the most pressing health challenges, concerns, and experiences affecting those living in Maricopa County.


As of this week, eight Focus Groups and four Key Informant Interviews have taken place, putting us about halfway towards completion.


Call to action:

We are looking to recruit individuals who speaking Spanish for the Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders (ADRD) Caregivers Focus Group! During the focus group, participants will: 

  • Share their experiences and perspectives on their community's strengths and assets, their built environment, and the forces of change shaping daily life and health
  • Receive a $40 gift card for their participation
