Brookline Community Health Equity Survey
|
|
To improve the health of everyone in Brookline, we need to center the voices of people and communities who have been long denied an equal chance at health. The Community Health Equity Survey is an opportunity for residents to share their experiences and priorities to help shape the future of our health.
|
The Brookline Department of Public Health and Human Services will use survey results to improve our programs, make decisions about funding and resources, and support policies to improve health inequities. We need to hear the voices of ALL the diverse members of the Brookline community to do this important work!
|
The Massachusetts Department of Public Health is leading this survey, which will be open through early Fall 2023. Anyone aged 14 and older can take the survey. It takes approximately 15 to 30 minutes to complete and is available in 11 languages: Arabic, Cape Verdean Creole, Chinese (simplified), Chinese traditional, English, Haitian Creole, Khmer, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Vietnamese.
|
|
