Routing for UAS466
mainintro
In this survey, we are going to ask you questions about where you would turn for information and support when dealing with major life events. Some of these events, such as the death of a spouse or parent, are difficult to think about. Other events, such as retirement, are less difficult to think about. In both cases, we are interested in knowing where you think you might turn for information or support to better understand how families can be supported in times of need. Your thoughtful participation in this survey will help to better target services to people in these critical periods.
fr_intro
In the first group of questions we are going to ask you to list up to three places or people that you would go to for information or support in different situations. These could be organizations you work with, government programs, the internet, social media, the library, people you know, your church or other religious organization, or any other group you might turn to. There are no right or wrong answers, but please don't list people’s names, instead if you would reach out to a specific friend or family member, just say friend or family.
Please enter only one place or group in each text box.
