Using county health and social determinants of health data, Connections IN Health has identified ten counties with the most opportunity for growth, existing coalitions and partnerships already working to address health challenges and willing community partners to work with in the first five years of the project (2020-2024).

When county engagement begins, an interest survey is launched and community members are invited to participate in listening sessions to share their perspective on successes and challenges in the county related to chronic disease. Once these conclude, listening session and interest survey data is compiled, analyzed and shared back with the community to assist them in selecting one health challenge they would like to address. At this time, CINH is able to share resources and evidence-based interventions, conduct community readiness assessments and expand the county network with coalition experts.
