Dear Health Promotion Colleague:
Your assistance is urgently needed!
Policymakers are considering major cuts to federal funding for public health and prevention. They are less likely to support deep cuts if they understand how it would affect their states and constituents.
You can play an important role in educating policymakers about the health and economic impact of reduced support for public health and prevention by completing this survey.
We are attempting to answer----"What is the health and program impact if your capacity to serve is reduced to previous federal funding levels or eliminated all together?"
The survey will only take 10-12 minutes to complete.
Data from this survey will help inform and drive our own individual, organizational, and collective advocacy approaches for the 2012 federal fiscal year.
The data will be summarized and reported on the www.healtheducationadvocate.org website and those of other Coalition of National Health Education Organization (CNHEO) organizations.
Thank you in advance for responding and helping us to protect the public's health.
If you want to discuss this survey or provide further detail about budget impact on the public's health, please provide your name and phone. Please note we may also contact you about video taping your story for use in our advocacy efforts.
If you have additional questions please contact Jerrica Mathis with the Society for Public Health Education at jmathis@sophe.org.
Thank you.
