Upcoming CDC Health Assessment Aims to Enhance Public Health in South Bay
Overview of the CDC Health Assessment
South Bay residents are facing health challenges, primarily stemming from concerns over raw sewage overflow from Mexico. To address these pressing issues, the CDC health assessment will engage community members directly. During this initiative, county officials will distribute flyers to over 6,000 households in the area, providing essential information about the upcoming health survey.
Participation in the Health Survey
The upcoming survey is a collaborative effort between the county and CDC to assess various aspects of residents' well-being. Seema Shah, Interim Deputy Public Health Officer, emphasizes the importance of participation: “If your house is getting selected, please participate in this interview.” Only 210 households will be randomly selected for this significant survey, which takes place from October 17th to 19th.
Importance of Community Feedback
Officials stress that this comprehensive interview acts as a pathway for community change. As Shah notes, “This is how we make change…this is how we impact and communicate back to the community that we are indeed listening.” Residents are encouraged to take part and voices will help mold future public health initiatives.
