How we use the survey results
SHAPE helps Hennepin County Public Health understand differences in health and identify health disparities. These results then inform programs initiated by the county and by community organizations that aim to improve community health and achieve health equity for all.
Local public health, human services, and nonprofit agencies have used information from past surveys to:
- Encourage people to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables
- Reduce tobacco use by children and adults
- Expand access to healthy food
- Increase opportunities for physical activity
Your participation is important
Participation in this project provides residents a unique opportunity to directly influence health policy and programs in Hennepin County. All responses are anonymous and confidential. Because only some residents are selected to participate, participation in the survey and responses are very important.
