Due Dates and How to Apply - Foundation for a Healthy Kentucky

Promoting Responsive Health Policy

2012 Kentucky Parent Survey.  The Foundation for a Healthy Kentucky has released a Request for Quotations (RFQ) for the design and implementation of the 2012 Kentucky Parent Survey (KPS), a statewide telephone survey.  The deadline for submission of quotes is February 28, 2012.  The Kentucky Parent Survey is a random digit dialing (RDD) telephone health opinion survey of Kentucky adults who are the parent or guardian of children under 18. Topics may include support for school health policies (e.g. Do you favor or oppose requiring schools to provide 30 minutes a day of physical activity or physical education to students?), family health norms (e.g. In the past 7 days, how many times did you eat dinner with your child?), and access to health care (e.g. Is there a physician or other health care provider where you usually take your child?). The 2012 KPS survey instrument will be developed by the Foundation in partnership with interested community members and the selected contractor.  Download the RFQ here and the cover page (Word document) here.  Lead Program Staff:  Sarah Walsh, MPH, CHES.
