Baseline Let’s Move! Cities, Towns and Counties Participant Survey
This survey is being conducted by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The information gathered from this survey will be used to identify and adequately assess who is participating in Let’s Move! Cities, Towns and Counties (LMCTC) and which activities and strategies they have agreed to implement. The information will also be used to track progress over time in achieving LMCTC goals and identifying geographic areas for outreach and technical assistance needs. Information collected through the survey will also assist in disseminating promising practices to ultimately increase the number and diversity of individuals, organizations, and groups that are addressing the LMCTC activities and strategies within communities. Promising practices may be publicly highlighted and celebrated in public forums, posted on the the Let’s Move! Website or annual reports. In addition, the organization information as well as the name of a contact person may be made available on the Let’s Move! Website for replication purposes.
If you have any questions about the study, please contact [RWJF Project Coordinator].
Your cooperation is very much appreciated.
