2 list of addresses grouped by proximity. Households were given the option to provide a phone number to complete the survey over the phone or given a link to complete the survey online at a later time if more convenient. All survey respondents who completed a door-to-door survey were given a small incentive for their participation. A 50-question survey was developed and administered (door-to-door) based on standardized questions representing the 13 Healthy North Caroliana 2020 focus areas: Tobacco, Physical Activity and Nutrition, Injury and Violence, Maternal and Infant Health, Sexually Transmitted Diseases and Unintended Pregnancies, Substance Abuse, Mental Health, Oral Health, Environmental Health, Infectious Disease and Foodborne Illness, Chronic Disease, and Social Determinants of Health. The survey was administered by hand and entered into EpiInfo version-7software. A flash drive was used to merge the data from multiple input devices onto one computer and analyzed through Microsoft Access. Online health opinion and partner surveys were administered and analyzed through Survey Monkey. All data was combined and analyzed through custom formulas and reports, comparing all question responses against multiple categories of age, race/ethnicity, and gender. Community findings and responses are presented throughout the document under the Survey Data heading inserts. Focus Groups Five focus groups (55 voices) were conducted between July and September among populations that are at-risk and/or under-represented to gain more in-depth understanding of what health concerns are experienced in Orange County. Focus group questions were broad and explored important aspects of good health, community strengths, and barriers to good health, with follow up questions and prompts tailored for each group. Focus groups were conducted in partnership with Bridging the Gap CDC, the Family Success Alliance, Chapel Hill – Carrboro City Schools, the Latino Health Coalition and the Refugee Health Coalition, and were conducted among older African Americans, Hispanic/Latino, Refugees from Burma, youth and low-income African Americans. Focus group participation was recruited from existing networks and relationships with relevant agency providers. Each focus group was led by a trained facilitator and notes were taken by an informed notetaker. All focus groups were digitally recorded and transcribed, and all comments were helpful in highlighting gaps, specific concerns, and providing richness to the overall data results. Community findings and responses are presented throughout the document under the Focus Group heading inserts. Spreading awareness of both online and door-to-door surveying and community listening sessions was created through: electronic emailing, address mailing, local media outlets (newspapers, radio), Healthy Carolinians of Orange County, community listserv’s, Orange County Government, social media, Chapel Hill – Carrboro Chamber of Commerce, UNC Hospital, community newsletters, various community coalitions and partnerships, county agencies and organizations, CHA specific committees, Orange County Board of Health, and the Orange County Board of County Commissioners.
