Appendix VI. York County Data
The following data presented below come specifically from respondents who self-identified as living or working in
the York County community. For clarity, community members who answered the professional stakeholder survey,
and vice versa, were excluded. 376 of the respondents were professional stakeholders while 1,799 were
community stakeholders.
Community Health Concerns: We asked survey respondents to review a list of common community health issues and
identify from the lists what they view as the (top three) most important health concerns in the community where they live
or work. As shown in Exhibit 111, a wide range of concerns were identified on both surveys. Two of the top three health
concerns among adults (18+) were the same for both professional and community stakeholders: behavioral / mental
health and COVID-19. Additionally, professionals viewed alcohol / substance abuse as more threatening to adults (18+) in
the York County community, while community members cited Alzheimer’s Disease / dementia as a main concern. These
results mimic those of the overall report.

Similarly, community members and professionals shared the same concerns about the health of our youth (age 0-17). We
asked participants to list the (top three) most important health concerns for children in their community. Both professionals
and community members cited behavioral / mental health and COVID-19 as major concerns in the York County
community. Professionals viewed violence in the home as another top threat, while community members listed alcohol /
substance abuse as a major concern. See Exhibit 112 for results of the top eleven health concerns.
