Our Community Need
|
The Community Profile is a needs assessment document that provides an overview of Komen’s grant-making priorities and the breast health needs in our service area. The Profile is updated every two years with new research and community feedback regarding breast health needs and barriers. |
To read the 2011 Central GA Community Profile, click here.
The goals of the Community Profile:
- To gather information about the community for the purpose of identifying needs and gaps in services that must be addressed to improve breast health
- To identify the populations most in need of breast health services
The uses of the Community Profile:
- To identify the gaps between services that are currently provided and services that are needed.
- To evaluate the impact the local grant programs are having on the status of breast health within our community.
The Community Profile is a snapshot, or a picture, of the community, specifically looking at breast health and breast cancer. The profile includes:
- demographics, such as population by age, race, ethnicity, education and income levels,
- breast cancer statistics, such as screening, incidence and mortality rates,
- an assessment of current services for breast cancer screening and treatment in the community,
- a survey of the community's beliefs and attitudes about breast cancer through interviews with key informants.
If you have any questions or concerns about the Community Profile, please contact us.
