2019 Community Health Needs Assessment - Teen

Thank you very much for taking this survey! As a high school student in Linn, Benton, or Lincoln County, we want to learn what you think about health issues. Samaritan Health Services hospitals are conducting their needs assessments to create local plans to improve the health of your community based on your responses.

Please share your thoughts about the health of your community or school. You will not be asked to put your name on this survey. There are no right or wrong answers. Any information you provide is useful.

Unless it says otherwise, only choose one response to each question, so please pick the response that best tells us what you think. At the end of the survey there are some extra questions that will help us understand the people we serve.

Thank you!
