The Community Engagement Survey provided residents with a space to tell us about the social determinants of health in their everyday life.

The survey was divided into several sections with questions centered around the key social determinants of health: neighborhood and the built environment, social and community context, economics and jobs, health and health care and neighborhood safety.

We used two survey instruments: an interactive community engagement mapping survey tool which allowed  respondents to place geographic reference points to survey questions and a traditional online survey tool with no mapping component.

The survey was distributed through several outlets, including social media ads, announcements at community meetings, distributing flyers at public events, health clinics, and even a nursing college with the help of our Albany partners.

314 residents, from the four target cities, responded to the survey: 55% of which were White, 77% of which were Female, and 35% of which were between 40 and 59 years of age. Savannah had the largest number of respondents.
