Published Joint Strategic Needs Assessments

The aim of a JSNA is to:

  • Provide analyses of data to show the health and wellbeing status of local communities.
  • Define where inequalities exist.
  • Provide information on local community views and evidence of effectiveness of existing interventions which will help to shape future plans for services.
  • Highlight key findings based on the information and evidence collected.

Recent JSNAs are listed below. There is a useful diagram here which summarises older work, also accessible through the 2017 summary of JSNA reports linked below.
