Community Assessment for Public Health
Emergency Response (CASPER) is an effective public health tool
designed to quickly provide low-cost, household-based information
about a community's needs and health status in a simple,
easy-to-understand format for decision-makers. CASPER uses well
established, valid epidemiological methods to determine the health
status and basic needs of the affected community, allowing
officials to prioritize responses and make informed decisions
regarding the distribution of resources.
