Reasearch Methods

So, when we arrived at this SPIKE, we found out that the survey that was originally set for us to use was absolutely not going to work. It was a full social work assessment which was extremely long and intrusive and didn't even get at the main point of the project. We spent the last week researching and writing a new survey to use when we go out into the communities. The final goal is to get a new clinic in the area. The clinic will have a sliding scale payment method so that people can afford it. It could change life here, allowing people who have never gone to a doctor to now have a primary care physician. We will be collecting the data that will go into the grant proposal to fund the clinic. We finally finished writing, editing and practicing the survey tonight! Off to start our door-to-door adventures tomorrow... Wish us luck!
