Community Health Nurses and Directors
Health Canada has commissioned Ference Weicker & Company, a management consulting firm, to conduct an evaluation of the Communicable Disease Control (CDC) Cluster within the First Nations and Inuit Health Branch. The CDC Cluster relevance and effectiveness evaluation includes three program areas: Vaccine-preventable Diseases (Immunization); Airborne and Respiratory Diseases (Tuberculosis); and Blood-borne Diseases and Sexually Transmitted Infections (HIV/AIDS).
A key part of the evaluation is obtaining input from community participants and community health nurses and directors. Your participation is critical to assess the relevance and effectiveness of the CDC Cluster in contributing to the improved health status of First Nations people and Inuit within your community. The findings of this evaluation will be summarized in a final report to be utilized by Health Canada in improving its programs and services.
The opinions and individual feedback from participants will be kept confidential and will remain anonymous throughout the entire process. We will not share the individual responses with any other parties. All information you provide will be kept confidential and only aggregate data will be used in our report.
You may complete the questionnaire in more than one sitting. If you can't complete it at the time, please submit what you have completed (using the post button at the end of the questionnaire). When you return, simply re-enter your contact information and continue on where you left off.
