Assessing Motivators and Barriers to Accessing Community-Based Health Programs

The overall aim of the proposed project is to assist a community non-profit organization in their key strategic goal of ‘being the place for people to create positive health outcomes’. Specifically, the main goal is to assess the motivators and barriers that influence the use of community-based health programs offered by the organization. Exploring these factors and how they contribute to program participation can help improvement of current programs as well designing future programs. Beyond actionable recommendations based on the findings, a secondary goal is helping the organization reconsider and upgrade their program monitoring strategies to support ongoing evaluation of their programs for continual improvement.
