Public health is encouraging people who live in British Columbia to participate in the third SPEAK survey and share their priorities for health and well-being in their communities.
The Survey on Population Experiences, Action, and Knowledge (SPEAK) asks people living in B.C. about their physical and mental health, and social and economic well-being. By participating, British Columbians have an opportunity to share what is important to them to help improve of their community.
This year’s survey also asks participants about their experiences with extreme weather-related events. The goal is to learn what supports are needed in B.C. communities to promote health and reduce inequities.
Over the next two months, public health in all regions will be promoting the survey with the goal of hearing from people in communities throughout the province. Health authorities are working to increase participation among older populations and harder-to-reach populations such as those who are experiencing homelessness.
For the third year, the SPEAK survey is funded by the BCCDC Foundation for Public Health.
