Statewide Health Assessment Learning Modules

Curriculum for public health faculty and students

The Minnesota Department of Health partnered with St. Catherine's University to develop two learning modules using the most recent Minnesota Statewide Health Assessment (released April 2024). 

Module 1: About the Minnesota Statewide Health Assessment

The statewide health assessment tells the story of health in Minnesota. It provides snapshots of how different conditions (education, transportation, income, environment, etc.) impact our health. Guided by the Healthy Minnesota Partnership, the assessment gathers data and information from government agencies and organizations across the state. It is published every five years and directly informs the statewide health improvement framework.
