Community Health Assessment Quarterly

The Health Assessment team is committed to timely and informative assessments of important health issues and concerns. We started the Health Assessment Quarterly with that goal in mind. The Quarterly is published four times per year, and each issue examines an important public health topic, with special emphasis on Multnomah County residents. We hope that you find the Quarterly both enlightening and informative.
