Survey 2.0 + Meeting

We decided that using survey monkey might discourage people from participating as it is a less formal site. I created an account with qualtrics. Their program is much more professional and gives us more information and ways of looking at the reaponses given. Hopefully this change will help parents feel more comfortable with the credibility of our survey. Prevent Child Abuse Utah also gave us permission to add their logo to the survey after they had a chance to approve it. We are still trying to figure out the best way to disseminate it and are looking into using Facebook.

This week I contacted Jordan School District to ask if they would support us in distributing the child sexual abuse awareness survey for parents in schools, and down the road allow us to hold parent education classes regarding teaching children about sexual abuse. They said no, that their focus is on child education, not parent education.

I then contacted Midvale Elementary School in the Canyons School District. Their principal was not in, and I spoke with Sonja Anderson (801-826-8350), the school social worker, who seemed interested in and supportive of the project. I told her that we are partnering with Prevent Child Abuse Utah. She took notes about our project and said that she would discuss it with the principal and call me back next week. I believe that this will fit well with the community school model at Midvale Elementary School. I will post again when I speak with Sonja again.

Our group met twice this week and made good progress, setting up a new survey site, and a group Facebook page. I set up two google docs for our group presentation, one for the power point, and one for the paper, so that we can work on the presentation together. Good job group!   - Diana
