📢📢📢2023 MA DISABILITY COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT❗

We STRONGLY encourage those who see this and live with a disability to not only submit the assessment, but to share it with those you know!

In short, this assessment helps the MA Public Health Department to understand 1) the quantity of people with disabilities living within the state and 2) how someone with any given disability may be impacted and how that defines their needs.

Follow this link to the assessment: https://redcap.ehs.mass.gov/redcap/surveys/?s=J7C9M7XDH3H7ERC3

***This survey was created by the DPH and reviewed by self-advocates with disabilities.
