High Desert Community Health Survey
High Desert Community Coalition
The Studio has been engaged as the lead independent consultant for the High Desert Community Coalition’s (HDCC) study on regional substance use perception. This project marks a pivotal effort to quantify the Victor Valley’s current understanding of substance use disorder and recovery to inform future programming for HDCC and coalition partners.
This data will serve as the foundation for localized public health strategies, ensuring they are informed by the genuine, unfiltered voices of our residents. Every contribution is protected, anonymized, and held exclusively within the Studio to ensure your voice is heard without reservation and outside of San Bernardino County's system.
