We’re inviting you to take part in the Community Well-Being Survey a project led by Public Health Ontario. This survey is designed to better understand how childhood experiences can have long-term effects on your health. The information you share will guide programs and services that make our community healthier and stronger.
Research shows that childhood experiences, both positive and negative, can have long-term health effects. By sharing your story, you’re helping us learn more about these impacts so we can design programs that truly meet the needs of people in Grey and Bruce Counties.
The survey is confidential, takes about 20 minutes, and can be completed online from the comfort of your home. If you received a postcard in the mail, it means your household was randomly selected to take part in the survey. Your postcard includes a unique passcode—enter this code when starting the survey online to access the survey. If you didn’t receive a postcard, you can still participate in the online survey.
All responses to the Community Well-Being Survey are completely confidential. We do not share individual answers with any third parties, and results are reported in a way that ensures no one can be personally identified. Public Health Ontario follows strict privacy and data protection standards to keep your information safe. The data collected will only be used by local public health units for public health planning to improve programs and services in your community.
Information collected in the survey, will help to inform local public health units in creating programs and services that better meet the needs of the community. Plus, when you complete the survey, you’ll be entered for a chance to win one of 10 $100 gift cards as a thank you for your time. (10 gift cards per region).
Some questions may feel sensitive. Free mental health resources are available during and after the survey to ensure your well-being. For a full list of resources in your community, please visit the support resources list.
