The prompt

Help me plan and run a community health needs assessment and turn it into a program plan. Organization: [e.g. "nonprofit hospital", "public health department", "community clinic"] Community and population: [GEOGRAPHY, demographics, groups of interest] Why we're doing this: [regulatory requirement, funding, new program, strategic plan] Data available: [health statistics, hospital or clinic data, prior assessments, surveys] Partners: [public health, schools, community organizations] Timeline and resources: [MONTHS, staff, budget] Give me: 1. Project plan: phases from scoping to publication, with a timeline and roles. 2. Data plan: secondary data sources to pull (types, not invented figures), and primary data methods (community surveys, focus groups, key informant interviews), with how to reach underrepresented groups. 3. Equity lens: how to look at differences by income, race and ethnicity, language, disability, and geography, and social determinants of health (housing, food, transport). 4. Prioritization method: criteria (size, severity, inequity, community concern, feasibility, existing resources) and a scoring matrix. 5. From priorities to programs: for each priority, goals, SMART objectives, evidence-based strategy options, partners, and resources. 6. Monitoring and evaluation: a logic model (inputs, activities, outputs, outcomes) and indicators for each objective. 7. Report outline and a plan to share results with the community. Use only data I provide; mark gaps [ADD DATA]. If this is a regulatory requirement (e.g. for US tax-exempt hospitals), list requirements to confirm with compliance [CONFIRM CURRENT RULES]. Protect personal data in survey and interview records.
