Cook County Department of Public Health today began distributing its annual Suburban Cook County Health survey to better understand the health status, needs and challenges facing local communities. An invitation to take the survey is being mailed to 32,000 randomly selected households in two waves between January and April. Invited adults age 18 and older can complete the survey online or through a paper survey. Survey responses are confidential and not personally identifiable. The survey is available in both English and Spanish. Results from the survey will help public health officials develop data-driven programs and policies aimed at improving health outcomes and reducing health disparities across suburban Cook County.
