More information about the survey

Jacob Wagner is with the Wood County Health Department. He said hearing from the community on what they’re seeing and what they think the problems are makes a difference. These opinions will help guide the efforts of IMPACT and the Marshfield Area Coalition for Youth (MACY). There’s community coalition work that focuses specifically on addressing substance related issues in the county. This survey is a way for these groups to evaluate their efforts. It shows where trends are going and helps guide their work moving forward. Jacob said they want to know that the work they’re doing is effective and making positive changes in the community.

The survey isn’t difficult to fill out. Answers are multiple choice or on a scale. The survey does give the option to add written responses or give more information. Jacob said these additional comments really give the coalition insight into what members of the community are experiencing.
