Currently, much of this data is available in the Community Health Data Set, and a few others on program sites on HIN/HPN. In the year 2003, NYSDOH will add county-level data indicators so they are available at one site.

- Part III - Information on Local Health Focus Areas/Priorities: Requests information on current and new health focus areas for which programs or activities are being planned for or implemented by the county.
- Part IV: CHA Process Information: Requests background information on assessment (e.g., Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partnerships (MAPP), other, or none), and information-gathering (surveys, reports) processes used in the community, and how community members were involved in assessment activities.
