The WVU Health Affairs Institute Mountain State Assessment of Trends in Community Health survey team has been dedicated to understanding the health and well-being challenges faced by the people of West Virginia since its inception in 2020. This team’s main objective is to assist the West Virginia Department of Human Services in identifying and addressing the critical health needs of all 55 counties in the state.
The survey provides comprehensive and representative health data for each county in West Virginia, which is made publicly available to local health departments, non-profit organizations, and other community-serving entities. This information allows these organizations to better understand the health needs of their communities and develop targeted interventions and programs to address them effectively.
Currently, the 2023 MATCH survey is underway, with data collection continuing until May 2024. It’s important to note that all survey responses are completely confidential and will not be linked to individual participants or their households. This ensures that participants can provide honest and accurate information without concerns about their privacy being compromised.
