Research Based Evaluation Tool - Fall 2022 Progress Report

My Community Health and Well-Being Monitorâ„¢

The Health & Well-Being Monitor allows us to compare the health and well-being of ISA Participants to Snohomish County Residents as a whole.

It is a longitudinal survey that measures the health and wellness of 800,000 Snohomish County residents. Today this comprehensive measure of well-being is used locally and in other U.S. states. Smaller community groups like ISA conduct their own survey. ISA can compare their results with those of the county as a whole—helping to identify key areas for improvement.
