Conducting regular assessments is an important part of program planning and can also be used to track progress over time. In general, SLAQs and OAQs should be completed annually, before intervention activities begin for the year. Assessments completed first on paper should be entered and submitted within 1-2 months. Please also take a look at our FAQs for additional details, as well as our evaluation project timeline.
Each site/organization that completes a SLAQ/OAQ should have a matching LHD Activity Checklist (LAC) submitted by the end of the school or program year, once all CalFresh Healthy Living (CFHL) related activities are completed for that site.
NOTE: Assessment Questionnaires are not required for FFY 2026, per program letter 25-06. However, CDPH and NPI suggest completing final SLAQ/OAQs to demonstrate accomplishments and aid in sustainability planning. Please submit all AQs to Survey123 by March 31, 2026. LACs for FFY 2026 will not be collected.
