6) Implementing an online community survey to capture additional community input

Opioid Task Force · 2026-06-09 · agenda_item

The Opioid Task Force of Pasco County is currently reviewing community input gathered through various methods, including an online survey, to improve behavioral health services. This review is part of a larger Gap Analysis aimed at identifying system-level challenges and opportunities for strengthening the county's behavioral health continuum of care. The project involved collecting and analyzing local data, reviewing documents, conducting stakeholder interviews, holding community listening sessions in Odessa, Land O' Lakes, and Zephyrhills, and visiting the Pasco Hope program. The next step involves implementing an online community survey to gather further input. This process is in the early stages of review, meaning potential future projects and service needs are being identified. Businesses involved in data analysis, survey development and distribution, communication, and community outreach could find opportunities. Engaging early allows contractors, suppliers, and service providers to understand the county's needs and priorities before specific projects are finalized.
