The anonymous survey is open to people who are expecting a child or raising a child or children 5 years or younger
VANCOUVER – Clark County Public Health has launched a community survey to learn about the challenges and successes of raising young children in Clark County. The survey is part of a multi-phase project, Raising Clark County, that aims to help Public Health and community partners identify ways to build community support for infants, young children, parents and caregivers.
The anonymous survey is open to people who are expecting a child or raising a child or children 5 years or younger. This may include parents, adoptive parents, kinship care providers, foster parents, guardians, grandparents or others who are raising children.
The five-question survey is available online through April 30. The survey is available in 12 languages. People who prefer to share their thoughts over the phone can call (564) 397-8111 and leave a voicemail. Participants can enter to win a Visa gift card.
During the first phase of the Raising Clark County project, Public Health conducted interviews with community service providers working with Clark County families. In the second phase, Public Health wants to hear directly from people raising children in Clark County about what helps them to be more successful caregivers and what things make raising a child challenging.
“Our community has an opportunity to foster improved health and engagement through robust, equitable investments in our children and families,” said Andrea Pruett, Community Health director at Clark County Public Health. “We can ensure Clark County children reach their full potential by better understanding where we have opportunities to improve access and availability to high-quality community services and supports for families.”
Raising Clark County is focused on early childhood, when positive experiences wire a child’s brain for success and provide a strong foundation for learning, behavior, physical and mental health.
