Abstract: Policy decisions regarding the effective allocation of program resources by State government require information on population service requirements, as well as the current supply and distribution of such services. A resource inventory and needs assessment study has proven valuable in assisting such decision making for hypertension services in West Virginia. The development of a profile assessment technique employing the resource inventory has taken a program about which virtually nothing was known to a position whereby extensive information is available for decision making.
