uace-needs-assessment

University of Arizona Extension (UACE) undertook a statewide needs assessment process in Fall 2022, led by the Community Research, Evaluation, and Development (CRED) team. The purpose of the needs assessment was to understand community needs and assets across the state as a basis for examining and prioritizing Extension activities to maximize our impact now and into the future. This code produces a Shiny interactive dashboard (https://viz.datascience.arizona.edu/uace-needs-assessment/) that will enable users to look at the results by different filters including sociodemographics, knowledge of and experience with Extension, and how much respondents said they knew about content areas.

Contributing

This project uses renv for package management. When opening this repo as an RStudio Project for the first time, renv should automatically install itself and prompt you to run renv::restore() to install all package dependencies. After installing or upgrading packages, you'll need to run renv::snapshot() to record these version in the lockfile. This ensures that the published version of the Shiny app is using the same version of R packages as the ones you use locally.

To contribute to this project, please create a new branch for your changes and make a pull request. One easy way to do this from within R is with the usethis package and the pr_* functions. pr_init("branch-name") begins a new branch locally, pr_push() helps you create a new pull request, and after it is merged you can use pr_finish() to clean things up. More about this workflow here.
