Incentives to Participate

 

Instructions:  This page represents the first page of the three-page Pediatric Environmental Home Assessment Survey form.  It is designed to capture key information that the resident provides you during your interview and home walk-through.  After reading the scenario, and viewing the video clips and the photos, please complete the form by checkmarking the boxes and filling in the blanks.  Please add notes in the "Notes" box to clarify your answers.  Complete the form, including the section requesting some limited information about yourself, then click on .  You will get a webpage confirming your form submission.  Then move onto Survey - Part 2 or go back to review the Scenario.   Try to click only once for each form.  If you want to change your information, the resubmit it and explain the changes in the Notes Box.  You do not need to complete the forms in the order listed.

 

The website will send an email to NCHH's Judith Akoto at jakoto@nchh.org with your completed form.  She will review it and compare it to a completed form that we think best matches the scenario.  She will get back to you with the results within five business days.  Please feel free to contact her directly.  If there are questions, it will be helpful if you have saved the form submission as described above. 

 

Hints:

  1. If you are impatient and want to see how you did, click here to download a completed form that we think best matches the scenario. 

  2. The bolded items represent concerns that call for action.  Click on the bolded word to go to the Nursing Care Plan that describes the action you should consider.

  3. If you want to know why an issue is important, click on the Section heading or the text in in the left column to get more information. 

  4. If you have problems with the form, contact Susan Aceti at saceti@nchh.org.  

We are constantly learning from your feedback.  Please use the "Notes" box in each section to help us understand how to do better and to identify environmental health problems we may have missed.
