COVID-19 Parent and Child Mental Health Survey Distribution Request
The Rocky Mountain Prevention Research (RMPRC) needs your help!
The RMPRC developed a survey for caregivers (parents/guardians) of children 18
months to 5 years of age in order to better understand the impact that the
COVID-19 pandemic has had on families in our communities.
They are asking
partners to help disseminate the survey link (and the advertisements below –
available in English and Spanish) to their social and community
networks. A summary of the results can be shared with ASNNA members
and respective community partners. Survey participants will have the opportunity
to enter a drawing for an electronic $100 gift card if they choose to
participate. The survey is offered in Spanish and English.
Here is the survey
