Speak to your Health! Community Survey

The Speak to Your Health! community survey and qualitative assessment was designed by community, health department, and university partners to examine social determinants of health and to understand and monitor the behaviors and attitudes of Flint (Michigan) and Genesee County residents. The project aims to use the findings to inform interventions, document change, and help set the research agenda from the community’s perspective. This survey is designed to explore how social justice issues are associated with health behaviors and service use. The researchers plan to link survey data with existing data sets (e.g., U.S. census data) and use them to evaluate the center’s community projects and to train community residents and public health students. The Genesee County Health Department will also use the findings to monitor progress related to its 5-year strategic plan.
