Needs Assessments are listed as follows:
NEEDS ASSESSMENT 2001
NPiS commissioned its first New Plymouth District community based injury prevention needs assessment in 2001, with funding support from ACC. This involved the analysis of local and national injury statistics and extensive consultation with a range of local organisations and individuals with an interest in injury prevention. The purpose of the Needs Assessment was to identify patterns of injury in New Plymouth District.

NEEDS ASSESSMENT 2006
A second Needs Assessment was commissioned in 2006 to update statistics on injury patterns since 2001. Most noticeably, the period has seen a downward trend in injury-related hospitalisation rates (at a time when the national age-standardised hospitalisation rates for injury are steadily increasing).

HOW WAS THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT CARRIED OUT?
Information for the Needs Assessment was obtained in three ways:
- Analysing injury data from local and national statistical collections, including mortality, hospitalisation, emergency department, injury insurance claim (ACC) and road crash injury data
- Consulting with key people and organisations in New Plymouth District with an interest in injury and injury prevention
- Reviewing published reports and other literature examining the development of New Plymouth injury Safe and other recent New Zealand injury prevention initiatives
