RE:  Post-law Public Opinion Survey Regarding Smoke-free Air Legislation 

On May 1, 2010, the Michigan Legislature passed state-wide, smoke-free workplace legislation.  On March 1, 2010, the Michigan Department of Community Health (MDCH) conducted a pre-law survey to determine Michigan resident’s support for the smoke-free air law.  MDCH is currently conducting a post-law public opinion survey now through September 3, 2010.  The purpose of the survey is to assess knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of Michigan residents now that the law has been in effect for a period of three months.

The Genesee County Health Department (GCHD) will be assisting MDCH by posting the survey link on our website and by distributing the survey to clients and community agencies.  The survey is only ten questions and is anonymous.  Genesee County residents can take the survey on-line at http://www.zoomerang.com/Survey/WEB22AYU42UNHD or go to the Public Opinion Survey link on the GCHD web page at www.gchd.us under the News & Events section.  Residents who would like to complete the survey but do not have internet access can contact the GCHD for a hard copy of the survey.

For more information contact the Genesee County Health Department at 810-257-3612.
