Appendix I. Hampton Data The following data presented below come specifically from respondents who self-identified as living or working in the Hampton community. For clarity, community members who answered the professional stakeholder survey, and vice versa, were excluded. 508 of the respondents were professionals while 2,140 were community members. 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 26, 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, which is no different from the overall report. While professionals were of the consensus that alcohol / substance abuse is more threatening to adults (18+) in the Hampton community, community stakeholders diverged from the overall results, citing violence in the community as more threatening than Alzheimer’s Disease / dementia.
