Community Health Assessment, one of three core public health functions, is a means of identifying and describing community health problems, gaps and strengths to improve the health of the community. Despite increases in immigration and rapid demographic change in urban communities like Chicago current community health assessment tools fail to capture the impact of the immigrant experience on community health and social determinants of health.  Hebert-Beirne is leading a UIC multidisciplinary research team-led, student-engaged, community-academic partnership community health assessment in South Lawndale (Little Village) to better understand immigrant community health issues and root causes of community health. The diverse research-academic leadership team advise on adaptation of assessment tools to capture data useful for understanding migration, cultural identity and health behaviors. Both quantitative and qualitative community health assessment strategies and methods will be tailored to discern community and immigrant needs and assets with a deliberate consideration of the role of social determinants of health and opportunities for health equity. Collaborative, academic-community, interpretation of emergent findings will occur in through community health discourse forums 4/27, 4/20 and 5/8 in LIttle Village. Community health findings will be disseminated though community partners for local use in health improvement planning.
