The concept of community participation in needs assessment has a firm grounding in Health
Promotion practice, It has long been recognised that Health Promotion programmes are most effective when they are designed to reflect the needs of the target community.

A health promotion needs assessment aims to discover the community perspective on any changes which could be made to improve people's health.
