Footprints to Health: 

Franklin Neighborhood Initiative

Survey Information

How was I selected for this mail survey? 

All parents with children attending the Franklin Elementary School are being asked to complete this survey.  Completion of the mail survey is voluntary.  However, It is important that as many parents as possible complete the survey in order to get a complete picture of the success of this initiative.

What is involved in the pre-event survey?

Enclosed with the mailing you should have received is a survey to be completed by a parent in the household. The survey is a short questionnaire on your current habits and knowledge regarding eating fruits and vegetables and being active. The survey will take about 10 minutes to complete. The purpose of the survey is to gather information about whether the initiative has been successful. There will be a follow-up survey in about a year to evaluate any changes that may have taken place. The person taking the initial survey should also take the follow-up survey. All survey responses are confidential. There is a unique identifier on your questionnaire that will tell us who has completed the survey. This information is used so we do not mail you another survey.

Your input on the survey is very important and we would really appreciate you taking the time to complete the survey and returning it in the prepaid envelope.

Must a parent attend or participate in the planned activities? 

Participation in any of the activities and use of the Footprints to Health materials are completely voluntary. There will be a number of activities that you can do on your own.  However, we hope that some of the group activities will be of interest to you and that you will want to be involved.
