Please see the Community Health Equity Survey (CHES) below which hopes to collect data on the social and structural causes of health needs facing Massachusetts residents, specifically among communities who are disproportionately affected by health emergencies.

The survey will be open from July 31, 2023 through early Fall 2023. Anyone aged 14 and older can take the survey. It takes approximately 15-30 minutes to complete and is available in 11 languages. The survey will also be available in ASL later this summer.

As well as taking the survey yourself, please help spread the word! Take the Community Health Equity Survey: Mass.gov/HealthSurvey.
