On behalf of the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), NORC at the University of Chicago (NORC) is conducting Community-Based Survey for Healthy Eating and Active Living (CBS HEAL). The national study seeks to gather information on the existence of certain policies, standards, and practices enacted or implemented by local governments that promote more healthful eating and physical activity for residents.

Your municipality was selected randomly to participate and you were identified as the person best able to address questions about the policies enacted by your local government. The survey includes questions on the communitywide planning documents of local governments; policies that improve the built environment to support physical activity, and policies that support increasing access to healthful foods.

The survey will take approximately 30 minutes to complete. Your participation is voluntary. You may choose not to answer any of the questions or you may choose to participate without penalty. There are no expected risks to participating in the survey.

CDC will use this information to evaluate the extent to which local communities have in place policy and environmental supports for healthy eating and active living consistent with recommendations from expert groups. In addition, communities, such as yours, may use the data collected to see how they compare with other communities nationally or with communities of a similar geography, population size, and urban status.

I'd like to continue now unless you have any questions.
