There are numerous benefits of conducting well-designed and thorough community health research.
​
It can help you plan for the future; effectively advocate for your community, your mission, or other goals; evaluate the impact of past initiatives or activities; or educate your clients, community members or the general public about your work. Even the act of conducting a survey engages community members and brings exposure to your work!
