Healthy Carolinians of Orange County Health Priorities <br /> <br />Healthy Carolinians of Orange County (HCOC) and the BOH co-hosted five community forums <br />and one annual meeting from mid-August until the end of September 2011. Meeting organizers <br />presented data (primary and secondary) gathered and lead attendees through a discussion of <br />issues and a prioritization process. The results for each step of the prioritization process is <br />described here. <br /> <br />Prior to the community forums, HCOC determined the Top 10 issues in Orange County. These <br />Top 10 issues were identified by looking at the intersection of Healthy NC 2020 state objectives, <br />top community survey issues, top focus group issues, and top 10 leading causes of death in <br />Orange County. See Attachment 1 with each category listed and intersection analysis. <br /> <br />Below are multiple lists of prioritization results for each step of the process with total vote counts <br />or percentage of total votes where applicable. The first list includes the original Top 10 <br />intersecting topics, in alphabetical order, as presented at each of the five forums. The second <br />list includes the ranked list of topics based on total number of votes from all five forums (N=190 <br />individuals attending). The forum discussion centered on “Importance”. The third list has the Top <br />10 issues ranked based on votes from the Annual Meeting where attendees (N=68 participants) <br />discussed “Importance” and “Changeability.” <br />
