Geographic Information Services (GIS)
Restricts who can access data and the use of data
Health Insurance Portability and Accounting Act (HIPAA)
What are the steps for conducting a needs assessment with secondary data?
Determine purpose and scope Gathering data Analyzing data Identifying risk factors linked to health problems Identify program focus Validating the need
