About this Independent Study   

Join us for an engaging session with Dr. Charlotte Huntley as they walk us through the ethical considerations to weigh while collecting data for a Community Health Assessment (CHA). A CHA is a tool that can be used to assess community health. It uses quantitative and qualitative procedures to systematically collect and analyze health data. As such, it is essential to understand appropriate and effective approaches for collecting community data. The session will provide you with qualitative and quantitative research guidelines; while also helping you more effectively plan, manage, and implement meaningful CHAs.
