Comprehensive needs assessments look in depth at the needs of specific groups of people (such as children) or types of service (such as sexual health services). They include, for example:
- assessing the prevalence of particular conditions
- the services available, their effectiveness and how they compare with services elsewhere
- the views of stakeholders
- quantifying models of care
- identifying outcome measures and recommendations.
The needs assessments have been arranged below in broad age groups
