Surveys will help prioritize issues

The Citizen Advisory Group of Goodhue County mailed surveys to random households this week. The results will help the prioritize health issues.

A random survey by mail is one of the fairest ways to gather input, organizers said. A limited number of people will be receiving the survey, so it is important that someone in every household receiving a survey completes it and mails it back.

Participation is voluntary All answers to the questions are strictly confidential and no identifying information will ever be linked to any of the responses.

Survey results also will serve as a major source of information for Goodhue County Health and Human Services. As resources become more limited, this information will be used to identify health priorities based on identified community needs.
