In 2005, the City of Gloucester began an assessment of health needs in Gloucester. The goal of this project was to generate a written description of health and behavioral health (e.g., substance use, nutrition, physical activity) needs among children and adults living in Gloucester that would include, when appropriate and possible, data on trends within Gloucester and comparisons to statewide or national data. The resulting information was published as the Gloucester Community Health Needs Assessment - 2007.
