Health Impact Assessment Feedback Activity (Storytelling Activity Option*):

*The project’s Environmental Justice Community Advisory Board will decide on survey delivery mode (traditional focus group and/or storytelling survey) and make modifications to these questions based on project needs.

Facilitator Script: “Thank-you for participating in our Health Impact Assessment Training Sessions. We would like to gain further feedback regarding potential Environmental Justice Programs Cuyahoga County Board of Health is considering in your area including the Health Urban Tree Canopy Program and Healthful Homes. Remember responses are voluntary.

Before we get started can each of you briefly fill out the notecard for the community you are representing, how long you have lived or worked in this community, your age range, and if you would like to be considered for participation in program activities.”

On your tables you will see an activity (Figure) to gain feedback about what environmental burdens you are most impacted by. This open-ended activity is meant to be fun and creative so you can tell your stories and help us co-plan potential programs. On your tables, you will see one piece of paper with a bullseye and a set of stickers. At the top of the bullseye sheet you will see the question “What environmental burdens are impacting you and your family the most?” Feel free to use the stickers however you would like putting the most important things in the center and lesser important things in the outer rings or in the dashed box. You may use as many or as little stickers as you want. If something isn’t on there that you think is important, please use the blank stickers to write it in. After you are done we will go around the table for each of you to tell your stories! Feel free to ask us if you have any questions. Remember when telling your stories do not use any identifying information.
