Community Health & Well-Being Survey
Welcome to the New Canaan Community Health & Well-being Survey
The New Canaan Behavioral Health Alliance (NCBHA) – a coalition of over 30 local organizations dedicated to increasing community awareness of behavioral health resources– is administering this 5-minute Community Health & Well-being Survey from October 1st to 31st. Your Anonymous responses will guide decisions and resources impacting our community’s health, mental health, and well-being. Widespread participation may also unlock federal and state funding for local behavioral health services.

Thank you for participating in the New Canaan Community Health & Well-being Survey!
The Community Health & Well-being Survey has officially closed. Together, we achieved an impressive 1,490 usable responses—just shy of a 10.5% response rate for the total population of New Canaan adults aged 18 and older. This response rate gives us a confidence interval of 2.4%, meaning the data we’ve gathered is highly accurate and reflective of our community’s needs.
This strong foundation ensures we can accurately represent New Canaan’s health priorities and address critical needs moving forward.
Stay tuned for presentations of the data to come in early 2025!
How the Results Will Be Used
The survey findings will be shared with the community by data professionals and NCBHA members through public events and online at NewCanaanBHA.org. The results will play a vital role in shaping local health and well-being initiatives and could open doors for additional funding to support critical services for residents.
