2026 Erie County Community Member Health Survey

Welcome

Erie County is conducting a Community Health Needs Assessment to identify and assess the health needs of the community. We are asking community members (those who live and/or work in Erie County) to complete this 12-14 minute survey. This information will help guide us as we consider services, programs, and policies that will benefit the community.

Be assured that this process is completely anonymous — we cannot access your name or any other identifying information. Your individual responses will be kept strictly confidential and the information will only be presented in aggregate (as a group). Your participation in this survey is entirely voluntary and you are free to leave any of the questions unanswered/skip questions you prefer not to answer. Thank you for helping us to better serve our community!
Sensitive Content Warning: Some questions in this survey address topics related to mental health, emotional well-being, or other potentially sensitive issues. These questions may be uncomfortable or triggering for some individuals. Please remember that you are free to skip any questions you do not feel comfortable reading or answering. If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health crisis or emotional distress at any time, please call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline for immediate, confidential support.
