Abstract

Data collection for the 2019 Needs Assessment included administrative data from health, education, and child welfare that was integrated across the population of birth-to-five using our IDS; family and provider surveys to gather statewide perspectives on access and barriers to care; family and provider focus groups to understand voices of our community and the systemic strengths and disconnects that need addressed; and statewide community listening sessions that identified the top five critical issues facing Iowa communities’ ability to thrive.
