Analysing your audit information

This section helps you to analyse the information collected during the audit.

USING THE ONLINE SYSTEM
 

After the health needs audit has been completed in your area, each of the lead contacts can access the data on the online system, hosted by Limesurvey. You will need a username and login to be able to access this information. If you have not yet received a login, contact helen.mathie@homelesslink.org.uk. You will be sent a link and password. Please keep these safe. Please note that you will only be allowed to access data from within your local authority area.

“The system was easy to use. I also had access to the Public Health Analyst in our area which was useful as they could provide any extra input”

As a first step, we suggest the lead partners view the data on Limesurvey, using the guidelines outlined in R8 Analysing your Data. This will enable to you to see basic results as simple table and graphs, and export the data into other formats if you want to undertake further analysis.

The online tool is designed so that you don’t need particular technical expertise for dong the analysis. A basic understanding of excel, however, will help if you want to export the data to perform any additional analysis.
